While helping clean out the bedroom of my wifes late Grandmother I found another piece to add to my items belonging to her Grandfather... his Kriegsmarine Watch. I removed the metal strap he had added after the war, but from what i see there is no real consesus as to what the original straps looked like, and all the examples I could find have replaces straps. I have no idea what the other watch is... it has absolutely no markings at all, but does have the kind of strap cheaper WW2 era watches had. I am thinking of removing it to complete the Marine watch but hesitate as it may be a !watch of interest".... does anyone know what it could be? From the quality I would have said from somewhere behind the Iron curtain... but the numbers and letters on the inside would not fit.... rest

Hi, not too rare, they had Kaiser parades and he did masses in one go. he must have handed out tens of thousands during the war. But it is nice to have one :-) -

As mentioned before, I have recently aquired 2 small rooms in the basement to display my stuff. With the exception of the wifes grandfather's Kriegsmarine stuff, it will be purely 14-18... first step was bars for the windows. 2nd step will be making it childproof from the inside.... slowly the first room begins to take shape....

Hi, this cap has me mystified. As you can see, it is a "Crusher" at the highest level, you could roll it into a ball. The bottom cockade is Bavarian, silver metal with the blue dor which has turned black over time. Am I right in guessing this was probably worn with the Bavarian Blue officers Litewka? It seems to be a very good fit.
