Technically not Pattern 1937 webbing, (I believe the No1 type was approved in 1940), This type No.2, is a variation of the original No.2 and dates from 1944.

They feature a celluloid window cover for the map and a brown pressed composite board of "Tufnol" (thank goodness they don’t make it anymore) and a few pockets for protractor and china pencils. Maker is "W & G Ltd 1944" (Waring & Gillow)

Period photo is of NZ Army officers on the Treasury Islands in 1944.

I was shuffling things around in the war room in preparation for a major change-up in my display and decided to throw a bunch of my Heer visor caps together.

Hello all, I have recently decided that a German Helmet is the next best addition for my collection. I need to do some more saving an would like to buy a good condition single decal M40. This one has come up and seems to be in rough condition but the name has got me interested. I also have no idea on its originality, it’s priced a $500 which seems a little steep but I may be able to haggle him down a bit. Lastly I would like to know about any good helmet books for someone like me who won’t Specifically collect helmets but is interested in buying more than one.

Any help is always appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Bodhi

I’‘m considering purchasing a German double decal M35 locally but I’m unsure as to decals. The helmet is in rough shape but even so is priced low enough if authentic that I’d acquire it. I own a few helmets that are legitimate GI bring backs but haven’t done much collecting other than these. The decals look off to me compared to other helmets but I’ve only dealt with helmets is much better shape. Any help appreciated.

Hello everyone,
Mailman delivered me a beautiful, 27th SS Volunteer Division Langemarck collar tab, today. Perfect Dachau attributed collar tab, pretty flawless. Can anyone tell me, why the Flemish was assigned the 3 sided swastika. Wikipedia explains why the name, "Langemarck," and how the Flemish would rather had a symbol relating more to they’re heritage, than an earlier conflict with Germans or Germany rather. Anyway, not an easy tab to find.

Evening Gents,
Decided tonight that it was time to join the WRF Club and have bought a year’s subscription, so you’re stuck with me for at least that long
Moving on, I just tried to add a signature, and I keep on getting an error message of sorts, anyone encountered the same? Am I doing something wrong?
Kindest Regards,
Harvey
