Hello all, I have for show this NSKK Transportkontrolle armband and what I think is a neck-piece with gold thread braided into the rope like piece. It is white with a different material black stripe in the middle. The rope is black, white, and gold. If anyone knows the proper name for it, please let me know. I purchased this as a set so I assume that the braided rope was to be worn around the neck, while the traffic cop with this armband directed the trucks to the front. If anyone else knows lots about the NSKK, I would like to hear the specifics of this armband. It is very smooth to feel and soft, and does not glow under blacklight (nor the white fabrics in the rope). I have pics of the stamps as well coming up. Any NSKK buffs out there? Thanks, Pat

Hello there, This is my only bayonet I have so far (missed out on a nice ww1 British Navy one by a day!), a German Army Dress Bayonet from I think WW2. It is from the German army but I'm not sure exactly what time frame, as there are no "Nazi" markings on it. It looks like the maker is O & C or O & S with a figure in battle stance as the logo. I would really like to know any information that anyone has on this bayo, when it was made and its maker. Please post your examples if you have a match. Thanks, Pat

Hi, Do you have a digital picture of it? If not, just use a scanner if you have one for a high detail scan. I'm not sure exactly what the flag is, but I'm sure somebody here does. Pat -
One more question, if anyone would be so kind as to help me out on this one. Is this cap eagle and cockade the standard Officer's cap eagle for most of the Wehrmacht? I would like to know the approx. time frame that it would be from and what specific (or semi-specific) branch of the army it is from. Also, any opinions on originality of the items is very welcome! Thanks gents, Pat

Hi again, Does anybody have any opinions on the originality of the (Labour Day) Tag der Arbeit 33-39 tinnies I posted? I think the first four have been covered pretty well (unless anybody else has anything to add) but I would like to hear some feedback on the last bunch, as they look like good, standard, original tinnies. Any opinions and advice is really appreciated. Thanks gents, Pat

and the back with markings of "Sterling", "G.I." and "Krew" on the three pieces. It is made of silver, obviously. Any other information on this particular combination and age of it? Pat

Thanks for the great info, I've always liked this piece. I have a similar one, I think it has the US Marksman and Sharpshooting crosses, as well as a "Rifle" Bar between them. ANy ideas on the date of this award, and any info on why this particular one has two crosses? Thanks, Pat

and finally, the reverse of the Labour Day 1933 tinnie, with no mm. All opinions and advice on the first batch of four (consensus=bad) and now my second batch of Labour Day tinnies (I think they are all good, and if someone could please let me know if I'm right, that would be excellent) is greatly appreciated. Thanks again for helping me sort out my originals from fakes, it has taught me a lot about what to look for in originals (especially the pin/catch set-up). Pat

Next up we have a Tag der Arbeit 1937 tinnie, also in zink I think. Any opinions on originaliy? With the way some of my TR stuff has turned out even finding out that these tinnies are good originals will make my day. I am confident they are good, as they are entirely different than the first four tinnies I posted this topic. Pat
