Good afternoon to you all

Here is the latest entry … Robert KLAAS officier sabel …

I know that model isn’t seen that often, i have not been able to trace a reference N° or a name for that model… Haven’t seen it in R KLAAS catalogs i could get hold of … Any idea ?

There is it .. i have seen it in some collections here :

Here is the closest reference i could get : Page 76 in T JOHNSON’s GERMAN SWORDS OF WWII … A more simple version of D guard for that sword … Could the one listed in the book be a sort of prototype ? and this KLAAS sabel be the final product being manufactured ?

Best Regards

K.

Hello,

I have this WWII instrument where I am wondering about what it in fact was used for and what it is. I have done some research on it and I think it has to do with the Flak 88 mm.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Regards, Ulli

I still struggle with these. I know the fakes exist with the serif J - but what of the straight J? They do exist - so is this a fake - or a real one

Thanks in advance

This decoration was conferred upon those people who lived in Leningrad during the siege of 1941-1944 for four months or more.
The medal was stamped at the mint with a design by artist SA Kornilov on a round brass base 27mm in diameter. The medals obverse shows the image of a broken ring against the background of the Main Admiralty, a tongue of fire, a laurel bough and a legend which reads ‘900 days, 900 nights’
The medals reverse has an image of the hammer and sickle and the legend’ To the Residents of Besieged Leningrad’
From 30th April 1990, the recipients of the badge are considered equal to those who fought in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-45

I recently picked this up. I was curious as to the experts opinions on it. I know that it is a factory made blade. The seller stated it was signed by Kanemune. I’m on my phone and I am unable to rotate the tang to the correct position. I checked through Dawson’s book online and I believe I identified the Kanji as Kanemune as well, except I couldn’t figure out the top Kanji on it. I don’t see a date.
