Would that have been about 3 " below the breast pocket?

I am hoping to find out where on an officers jacket this award would have been placed, anyone at all please help I am unable to find nay info or photos of one being worn.

Great points! in addition any piece should be marked Crown or Eagle N to have been Nitro Proofed with an excessive round.

BTW... Here is my Armenius.

Armenius M-8 was manufactured in Zella St Blasii in 1919 and in Zella Mehlis. Model 8 is a hammerless .320 or 7.65mm auto (.32acp) revolver, five shot, with a 50mm or 140mm barrel and folding trigger and it looks like you got one! Friedrich Pickert, Armenius Waffenwerk produced a wide range of pocket revolvers prior to 1945, available in a wide variety of of barrel lengths, cylinder capacities and calibers. Although of obsolete design they were cheap and very well made. Most are standard commercial cartridge only I am not sure how much luck you will have in finding the .320 as I have never looked for that cal.

I have this jacket could you please offer suggestions as to what it is!

Is it a third pattern, what are its markings.

VERY NICE... thanks for sharing!

Thought I would put up a photo of my small collection, so, if you got em-show em!

OK so that makes sense!

So, would this have been used out of expediency?

I don't think I have seen BLACK... only WHITE! Now is it real ORANGE or just stained somehow?

If you don't mind my asking... how large is your collection?

Thank you much my friend!

Please excuse my ignorance... what is it, and this is a great idea for a Thread...A what is it!

Thanks for the offering, I am a member of the forum but here is where the tidbit of info came from. I have listed this pistol on P38 and all I got was rather cursory info. Maybe I will try again with the addition of the info above and see what happens. I will also try the Jan Still discussion board. Please get back to me if anything new develops.

Can you please offer me the title of the book the info was second hand and that is why there is faulty reporting, can you please suggest a more up to date book for me to research. Thanks

What can you tell me about this item: It has a black woven label on the inside that reads following: Marked in Gold embroidery, Type A-11 Specification 3189 Size-Medium Stock No. 8300-396015 Cent. No. (53-038) AC-3172A.F. The Selby Show Co. Property Air Forces, U.S. Army

What are your thoughts on these

No, I do not.

What do you mean by a template?

i am not disappointed by anything, just looking for an answer to what it is, I am quite surprised it has survived at all.

It looks like an early screen print, and it is 5.75 in high by 4.5 in at its widest points.

WOW, how many do you own in all and how long have you been collecting.

Are you from NORWAY? Can you collect and own pistols where you live. Are you interested in Hats and helmets.
