Hi all!
Maybe someone knows what it means to marking "F.A." on the NSDAP canteens/cups?
"F (?) Ausrüstung", ..Aluminium" or something else?

As far as can be judged from the documents, this "FA" marking was applied from 1934 to 1936.
"Mitteilungsblatt der RZM", 1934:

Probably since 1936, the labeling system changed.
"Herstellungsvorschrift der RZM", 1936:

This is a great opportunity for the beginner in the hobby collecting the daggers of the SA or for those who may want to learn about the history of these daggers from its early beginnings.

Below is the Youtube Link to Thomas Wittmanns Seminar on this subject. This is Part 1 of 2.

Hi Guys,

I need some opinion about this helmet. Is it original?
I’m really not sure about the decal, and a paint an original.
But the shell looks ok to me.

Thank you!

Hello,

I’d like to share with you some documents : four "pagelle" from Opera Nazionale Balilla and Gioventù Italiana del Littorio, belonging to the same person, from 1932 to 1938. Actually they’re school reports.

They’re not rare documents but I like the futuristic drawings of the covers. We can see that "fascist culture" was evaluated by the teacher from the age of 6 ! :shok_yikes:

Traduction : Sun of Italy ! Assimilated in fields and orchards, you find it transformed in all the products of confectionery industry, which has for indispensable base "sugar", principal food of our body.

The theme of the cover is "Libro e moschetto, fascista perfetto" (Book and rifle, perfect fascist).




Stands for: "Year XVI of fascist era - Second Empire".

Regards,
Antoine

Hi all.

Thought I’d post this for some opinions from the experts. The photos are great, so should spark some good feedback!

Hi,
New to these types of militia antiques and saw these in of my favourite shops and thought they looked rather interesting. By what I’ve read about them they are extremely rare and to see 4 I am assuming they are fakes or ‘replicas’ they are priced at £30 each which I thought was fair but can anybody authenticate from this picture as the shop was shut for lunch when I visited!

Thanks in advance!
