Hey folks, picked this up locally and was hoping to find out more info on it. I am not overly familiar with uniforms so any help is appreciated. There was a small tag inside. The back of the buttons had an early eagle stamp and the number 20 and letter M. I couldn’t find much in standard searches. Thanks for any input.

Recent estate purchase,

Would absolutely love to hear your thoughts. I just recently started picking up ww1 items and came across this and knew I had to have it.

Was told it belonged to a decent of Brigadier General Sir William Thomas Francis Horwood

He has quite a bit of information on Wikipedia apparently and some cool portraits in museums in Great Britain. Other than that don’t know much about this gentlemen.

Hello,
I’ve started collecting WW2 military approx. 12 to 18 months ago. I’ve always had an interest in all things military, only recently started collecting, prior just into movies, documentaries, history, and reading. I’ve probably pissed away a nice amount of money buying small pieces of fake history. I’m getting better, reading more, and trying to search WarRelics, pre-purchase. Anyway, just wanted to know if I’m right in this assumption. There’s a lot of auction sites out there, all having companies, that post they’re 100+ items, when 99% of they’re items are fake. What’s to stop anybody from buying reproductions, registering with an auction site, and profiting off ripping people off? I’m almost positive they but a few real items to lure people in, and either, bid them up themselves, or let go of them, when they profited, more turn they paid for said meet item. There’s a few that have weekly and no weekly auctions, one of every badge known in exsistance, I watch some go I the hundreds of dollars, yet they maintain an inventory of a 30 plus year collector to auction weekly. I’m sure people catch on, but yet they continue to make a living ripping people off. And the bigger auction companies continue to let them do it. I’m not saying some of the auction sites aren’t legit, but maybe 75% of the companies selling off them are questionable at best. I’m glad there’s a place like this to learn, and figure out what’s what, or I would have gave this up a month after I started.

Hello folks.

Need help somewhat urgently. In the futile struggle to feed my newfound feldpost addiction, I’ve gone trawling through eBay and have discovered something that I’d rather authenticate before I put money on it. It’s only a tenner, but I don’t want to buy an embellished fake.
This letter appears to have been sent by a member of the Waffen-SS, as evidenced by the partially faded ink stamp on the front of the envelope. Is this a genuine stamp, or something someone has added to increase consumer appeal? With a green light, I intend to buy it. Only a small one, but would be my first SS-related item. But, being SS-related, I am cautious.

Regards, B.B.

I was digging around my shop today and i saw this attached to one of my fathers old welders, i saw the rough canvas strap on it that caught my eye. Upon closer inspection i saw the "RIFLE, BOYS MK I" labeled on the front of it, so I did at bit of research but couldn’t find much on the magazine box. Anybody know how much one of these are worth or how rare they are?
