Description: Very nice little set to a long serving soldier who fought in Africa as a paratrooper. Originally joined the infantry in 1936, he served with various infantry regiments from 1936 to 1941 earning the Wound Badge in Black for injuries received on 14th June 1940. He then transferred over to the Luftwaffe and joined the paratroopers. After the relevant training he was awarded the Fallschirmschützenabzeichen and eventually joined 2./FJR-5 in February 1942 which was earmarked for the invasion of Malta before shipping over to North Africa.
I could go in to the history of the unit while he served with it but this link does that much better than I could…

He died on 5th December 1942, having been badly injured on 30th November in Tunisia. According to the link above, on the day he was injured a patrol from FJR-5 encountered British paratroopers who had been dropped to capture an airfield during the fighting around Tebourba.
Also included with the Wehrpass is a photo showing the man in full Fallschirmjäger equipment, a Death Card showing his Para Badge, a postcard showing a paratrooper leaping from an aircraft and addressed to a Josephine Kuchler (not shown here), and some sort of A4 Heldentod piece of paper which has a nice photo of him wearing all his awards/ribbons. This last item has a few rips including one hard to see in the image but circled in yellow.
*The red lines are obviously not on the actual items, it is just a crude form of watermark.

Does anyone know exactly how the ranking system works or denotes on Police helmets, this has a very worn SC (special constable) badge as well as two equal thickness white bands. nice 39 dated Rubbery Owen & Co shell and 1939 BMB (Briggs Motor bodies) liner and the chinstrap lugs are unclear but seem to be stamped 1938 though could be 1939.

Dear Forum experts,

Totally new at this so I am turning to you for help. For 20 years now I have had my website D-Day, Normandy and beyond where I collected stories of veterans of WWII. I now want to try and collect a few items to form a very tiny collection. I bought my first piece a Verwundetenabzeichen in Silver. There are no markings on it. I really would like to have your expert opnions on this piece. I am sorry for my amateur level on this but I guess I need to start somewhere. I would really value your help.

Have a great day!

Sincerely,

Frank C. Everards

Hi all,

Looks like I may have one of those Indian copies.

The handles don’t look like walnut to me. The blade length is 152mm. It’s a nice knife regardless of whether it’s a fake or not.

Would anyone care to comment.

Regards

Mark
