Just watched the Korean movie "The Tiger" set in 1925 Korea. Japanese commander trying to kill a seemingly unkillable tiger. Don’t know what to think of the story, but LOTS of rifles, bayonettes, gear, uniforms and 1 or 2 Type 95 NCO gunto. Unfortunately, the Type 95 wasn’t beeing produced in 1925!!!!! Also, the "major" was carrying a Type 95. <sigh>

Dear War Relics Community,

Hi everyone. I found another helmet,this time it is an M/40. I think it looks nice but I’m not sure. The price is $150. Thanks, BroncoDenver99.

Might be a long shot, but does anyone have an information or know where I can look for some information on the U.S. 273rd Ordnance Company ( anitaircraft ). My stepdad’s father Lawrence Frank Kaiser was a technician fourth grade in this unit. I have his discharge papers and some other documents from his service, but I’m trying to find some information on his unit and their role in the battles they were in. His discharge lists the campaigns of the Central Europe, the Ardennes, Normandy, Northern France, and the Rhineland. Being in a support unit, I know information may be limited, but anything anyone could contribute would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Since my main method of collecting is to collect items that would, or could, have been worn, or earned by the family members that I have period photos of in military uniforms.
I have posted my Luft. Flak display and my Panzer display.
Since my Opa was a member of the Artillery and I have a couple photos of him in uniform, I do have a small shelf devoted to that branch.
Here is one photo of my Opa. When I first posted this on WAF a long time ago, one comment was that he was assigned to the V1 rocket program. However, I found out that that is incorrect. His shoulder boards, although they show V1, indicate that he was actually assigned with the Kriegs-Karten- und Vermessungsamt, (War mapping and surveying) for the Artillery. I was told a long tome ago that he was involved with the big guns that fired across the channel. This would fit as these were army level units that required the services of mapping and survey as well as observation (for counter battery fire) troops.

Here is my small display for that branch.
The Stug tabs are not original, they were made by me.
If anybody wishes to see anything up close and personal, let me know and I will take some photos.

Hello,

I’ve got something here that I believe to be fantasy, but the seller says otherwise, so we agreed to put it up and see what you think about it.

Regards,
Bas

All,

I purchased this, but am unsure about this type of medal mount. It looks similar to the Austrian type. Any Ideas? Thanks for looking!
