Question What do you think about this Hitler autograph?

I have an offer of this postcard with Hitlers signature. I already bought from this seller genuine photos of Hitler, Göring etc.
(some with a Stamp on the back "Nicht zur Veröffentlichung bestimmt") and several original Agfacolor slides with them.
Did you guys think it’s a original one and could it be that this scene is more rare than normal portraits with Hitler autograph?
Thanks for your opinions and regards,
Patrick

by: JPhilip

Description: Hello,
For sale two S 84/98 bayonets produced in 1937 and 1941 for the portuguese contracts. They’re both in very good condition with most of their deep black finish on the blade. The 1937 example is serial numbered on the handle and comes with a blank export scabbard. The 1941 example is serial numbered on the crossguard and scabbard. Both sides of the blade and ricasso of both bayonets are blank. Reichswehr WaA on the 1937 and WH on the 1941. Both scabbards show a small dent.
More photos upon request, Paypal (we share the fees). please check your national weapons laws before buying…
I wont sell them separately, let’s call this “A PORTUGUESE CONTRACTS INSTANT COLLECTION” as there were only two K98 contracts. Due to the war, the 1941 contract was not fully delivered. A friend of mine owns a 1941 portuguese contract bayonet seized on a german soldier during the liberation of Paris.
Reasonable offers accepted. Paypal only…
Thanks

Mk IV Respirator, Potential Owner

Hello folks.

At first sight, there’s nothing unusual about this small grouping. It was found as it is, with the anti-gas eyeshields and anti-dimming tin tucked into the bag, which is nice. The respirator itself isn’t in the best shape. The hose is rigid and no longer pliable, and the rubber of the facepiece is starting to go. The canister is also in awful shape, so much so that I’ve duct-taped it as an emergency precaution against lung cancer.
The bag is a good one. No oxidisation or missing pieces, with the fastening string and rivet still in place. Owner’s name inside the flap, as to be expected. But there’s more to it than that. Something that is, potentially, rather exciting. On the back of the bag, on the outside, is another name and service number. As you can see from the photos I’ve provided, it seemed that this respirator, or at the very least the bag, belonged to someone of rather high esteem.

The name, ‘Bdr Brown,’ and a service number which I believe to be ‘23462921.’

I did my research, and it appears that there was a gentleman by the name of Alan Ward Brown, with the rank of Brigadier. He was a British Army tank officer, attached to the 79th Armoured Division until 1943, when he became Commanding Officer of the 147th Battalion Royal Armoured Corps. He served in France following D-Day, and until April 1945 was the Commanding Officer of the 3rd Battalion Royal Tank Regiment.
He was awarded the Distinguished Service Order in February 1945.

I’ve been unable to trace the service number, but I really find it hard to believe that this is a simple coincidence. It’s possible, of course. But his respirator would have to be out there somewhere, assuming it has survived the intervening years. I’ll probably turn out to be disappointed, as ever. But the very idea of holding something of such historical significance is quite a feeling.

Regards, B.B.
