Here are some closeup pictures.

My only 1870 photo. Could it be his name on the reverse? Kjell

Thanks,a beer sound s good !! Here is a picture of one of the Tranter models .( also see modified post) Kjell

Hi Kevin It looks like a Beaumont Adams, model 1855, 1856 or 1860, five shot calibre .44. They were made by London Armoury and Robert Adams Company in England. There are differences between the models, barrel length and minor details but I could only find one good picture of one of the models. I could also be a revolver by William Tranter, which is an improved Adams. They came in at least 6 different calibers from .36 and up. The earliest were percussion and the latest ones took centre fired cartridges. I got one cartridge in .50. This model got a lot of variations on barrel length, hammer types and other details details.

Thanks, glad you liked them David! Sorry about your keyboard, I hope it?s not damaged I?m glad I didn't put in a rounded 3 and another Shinkel to make the picture more interesting. Kjell

To compare the size; Schinkel, overcized and Knight Cross.

Just wanted to show this nice cross.

Hi I still have problems whit my new camera, so here is a scan. Hope it might help in the identification. Kjell

Hi Chip Sorry, I thought I knew this, but no. My field of ammunition collecting is up to 20 mm, but I have several friend?who is collecting artillery ammunition, so I will check whit them and get back to you. Kjell

Thanks Roeland Derby might be the correct word. The first one is made says its made from grenades, from the battlefield. I thought they were to big to be worn as a veterans badge. The size (hey are also quit thick, about 6-7 mm) don't?t seems like something you wear on you jacket, but...? Kjell

Hi Rick It?s not maker marked. Have been busy the this week, but wil post a closeup during the weekend. Kjell

I had questions abouth the Imperial "St?rmtrupp" badge. Here is a link to the history, and a lot of other Imperial "St?rmtrupp" skulls. http://www.austro-hungarian-army.co.uk/bad...urmtruppen.html Kjell

Standard 28 shot box. The production year, date and lot number is handwritten. This one is from 1941. As the pistol, neither the cartridges nor the box, had any German markings. Most other occupied factories got German factory codes. Kjell

Hi Made ready to be soldered to a IC ( and you meant of course EK 1 spange ) ? Kjell

Thanks! Kjell

Hi Where can you order the book? Kjell

Hi Chip I may have some information, but It would be best to see some pictures first. Kjell

As Tony suggested, the cross could have been made for a left handed person. It?s an interesting thought. Could there have been made several for left handed? I got two of them. Vaulted, same frame and same magnetic core. One have been repainted. The reverse shows a slight difference in finish, one is dull and the other more polished. The the pins are the same but there are a small difference on the hooks, one is slightly wider than the other. Kjell

Thank for posting the pictures Kevin. A nice cross you got there! Kjell

Thank for the information and the very interesting pictures!! I have never seen these bags before. I hope there will be a complete -57 book soon!! Kjell
