This 30cal DWM luger is a tack driver compared to my BYF 9mm,its a real pleasure to shoot.Why did the germans give up accuracy for a more powerful round?I guess because it was a universal cartridge for many of their weapons.If anyone has shot one of these 30cal lugers they will know what I mean.This is a matching DWM for commercial sales with the GERMANY marking,1920s I believe.All original parts,springs etc.,shoots like a new gun,these are very well made IMO.What do you guys think about these?

I recently inherited this cap from my grandfather and I was wondering if anyone could help identify it. He was stationed there post war and bought it from a peddler. I don’t have any records with it any help would be much appreciated.

Hello folks.

I’ve had this piece for a very long time. It’s part of a very large collection of relics amassed by my great uncle. When he was still able to walk through fields for hours on his own, he would spend a good deal of his spare time metal detecting in the local area. Living right in the centre of ‘Bomb Alley’ as it was known, he now has a sizable collection built up in his shed. This includes a large plastic bucket filled to the brim with pieces with shrapnel, shell fragments, fired bullets… and aircraft components.

This was one of two Spitfire pieces given to me for a school show and tell project, along with various other bits and bobs. The other was a small piece of canopy frame, with the green paint fully intact on the outside. And then there’s this, which I was allowed to keep.
I’d really appreciate any info on this, given it’s been with me for some time. I unfortunately have no idea exactly which crash site it was recovered from, and so can’t pin it to a specific aircraft. The closest I can get is Fordcombe, which is where I’m told the crash site was.

The markings are as follows, in light of picture quality.
Front side: ‘MARK IB*’ ‘No 3431/41′
Reverse: ‘JF’

If any information can be gleaned from these markings, I’d be happy to hear it. This relic was clearly involved in a very violent crash, having been found apart from the rest of the gauge assembly. The chances of matching it to a known aircraft are next to none, but I thought you’d all appreciate this little fragment of history.

Regards, B.B.

Kinda neat, does button right over left so, yes, a ladies garment but what exactly? Made from greyish tan linen, belt is missing. Factory worker? Found a pic of Luftschutz girls wearing similar style but front flap indicates a mans tunic. Any help greatly appreciated. Almost looks like an early stahlhelm windjacket.
