Hello Gent’s,
Well my WONDERFUL wife bought me a mannequin for my Father’s day gift.
So as I promised I would share my display with all that were interested .
I did it up to recreate what Phil Chaperon told me he wore on the day they were shotdown on a mission to Schweinfurt on April 13th 1944 . These are the M1938 coveralls I just picked up.
I have a set of WW2 low quarter boots coming to put some shoes on those feet. The second pic is my display to Honor my Great Aunt and Phil.
Meet Phil!

I’ll let this sit like this to take it all in. I am SOOOO Happy!!
Then I’ll put on the B-14 Michael gave me. Then the 8th AF uniforms I have.
Man O Man! I finally get to play dress up.
It’s like having my GI Joe back but life sizecool militaria

Semper Fi
Phil

Hello, everyone! My name is Claudiu and I am writing from Romania. Recently, I used my metal detector and found in southern Romania some relics that seem to be of german origin, from WWII. The village where I was detecting was the scene of a major medieval battle and a WWI bloodbath. I am trying to identify the WWII relics and I need your help for that. Thank you very much! I hope you will approve my post and pictures.

Got this haul from an estate sale in IL this weekend. The lot was much larger but someone else bought the rest. Turns out the husband of the granddaughter who was running the sale (selling her grandfather’s items) is an active duty Navy SEAL. They were kind enough to send this t-shirt and a legitimate Trident purchased on his base. I probably overpaid a bit (paid $600), but I was also helping her identify items and I thought this was a very unique opportunity to get some SEAL items that they didn’t have to get me. Have not yet received the items, this is a seller provided photo but was too excited to wait to share. Not sure why the photos are sideways because they aren’t on my phone and computer.

The Mein Kampf is personalized.

The flag is double sided with a rope tie, size 88" x 41".

Multi-piece construction armband.

All medals belong to her grandfather, Irving Kangas. My understanding is he had something to do with communications during the war.
