I thought I would pictures of my latest pick up. I have had an opportunity to own a nice SA dagger so was was happy to find this one. It is a early J.A Henckels dagger with hanger the only trouble spot I can find is that it was dropped sometime in it history and the tip cracked. Sorry for the poor pictures.

While visiting the Berlin Holocaust memorial last weekend i heard a young British woman (early 20s) say "You’d have thought they would have made this place a bit more colourful", i walked away quickly biting my lip!
I couldn’t decide whether it was pig ignorance or stupidity!…..

Opinions appreciated on this one. The buttons and the blue stitching concern me.

few questions:

- to be sure: Original?
-Is there anyone able to identify this maker?
-how should the eagle be reattached? it looks like it was glued to the cap.. no stitching visible
- what about the odd looking stitching on the exterior cap band?

thank you

Looking for opinion on this armband. No tag. I’m assuming fake but I’m kind of new to this so if you could tell me some surefire signs I’d appreciate it. Thanks!

Hello guys,:)

in my second outing with a metal detector i found this item but i have no idea what it is. :confused:

Front: approximately 15 cm ⌀

Rear:

On it there are no holes or hooks.:(
Some other guys have found the same object in different part of Italy always in places where there were battles or Allied/German encampment. ; nobody knows anything about it.
They suppose it has to do with German armaments, but in my opinion i think belongs to Canadian troops.
I hope you can help me:)

Greetings,

Lewis
