Hello to all.
This my erkennungsmarke of "1 Kompanie - Korps-Nachrichten-Abteilung 426 markennummer 127" presents, on the back, the words "DEUTSCHES REICHSHEER" that has been obliterated.
I hope it is good.

Good morning gents,

I need some opinion from members better versed in these than myself.

I am not a helmet collector but do take an interest in all things in the hobby and I have long wanted to add one of these as "background" as it were to my Third Reich badges and medals.

I have considered the helmet pictured here but though I have an opinion I am just in need of some advanced knowledge from helmet specialists.

These are the dealers pics but I don’t know much about him so I can’t make a judgement as to reliability.

The price is about right for such a helmet but I have reservations.

All opinion / advice is much appreciated.

Regards

Mark

Hello

I came across this Japanese type document the other day and I cant figure it out what it might be.
I was wondering if anyone knows what it is and could translate it.
It measures about 18×30 and the paper is fragile.
Thank you very much for your time and your help
Tony

Hi team,

Apologies if this has been answered before via another thread. I have a pretty bare slouch with green eyelets. I’m just wondering if that is a WW2 production trait. The pug is missing as is the liner and chin strap. The brim has an covered edge. There is no push button stud - clip only.

And an unrelated question - did CARR provide studs for WW1 slouches as well as WW2?

Hi All,
I just aquired this one, before I go into all the details let me say how difficult it is to photograph blades!!!! but with my camera and loupe I did my best for you all, this is a Haenel Partial Rohm with the tip broken off, before everyone goes UGHHHHH what I learned is that quite a few Rohms have this issue and some choose to have the blade re-tipped, after speaking to Mr Wittman about this he informed me it is best to preserve the history and to leave it be, adding that the value holds the same, I learned that for some SA men breaking the tip was a way to futher disgrace the honor dagger along with removing Rohms name, an old Teutonic tradition as he stated. The dagger itself is in great condition, the scabbard still has nearly all of its original laquer, all of the screws and tang nut are unturned and not messed with, the fit is perfect, the Suhl step lower crossguard is evident along with the proper groupe mark for this sort of dagger of Sa, the blade is nice but shows alot of runner marks, this one was shown off alot!!!! it still remains clean with visable crossgrain, the dedication etch is proper and original, and you can still see a tiny bit of the name, the Haenel maker mark is ever so slighty lowered when compared to a normal Haenel proving to be an original Rohm. Please feel free to comment and thank you for looking!!!
