Thank you for translations and suggestions. I guess this flagg will still be a mystery.

Sorry for late reply to you. I recently got some health issues.

Best regards

Hello

Does anyone know this flag? My first thought was, this is a flaw made by the person who painted it. However, I got two identical cups, both named. This means, someone ordered, accepted and payed for this.

Kjell

When it comes to iconic guns, you really can’t get past this one.

Hello

I´m going to sell my Madsen machine-gun, but I’m not sure of the eksakt model. It is a Portuguese contract in 7,92x57 / 8mm Mauser. I know they got guns in this caliber in 1936, 1940 and in 1947, but I don’t know howe to identify the different models. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kjell

Thank you for the information Gordon !

Here is some pictures from the incident.

Kjell

Hello !

A friend of mine got this interesting object hanging on a wall in his cabin. He again inherited it from hes father, who built the cabin.

It must be a machine telegraph, but not like any we have seen seen on ships.

In May 1916, the Zeppelin LZ 59 (tactical number L20) crashed after a bombing raid on Britain, in Hafrsfjord, close to Sola airport outside Stavanger. This is 20 min drive from were we live.

Could this be the telegraph from this Zeppelin ? Any help to identify this will be appreciated.

My newest IC.

Thanks Nesredep !

Kjell

I like it. Thanks for posting it.

My pleasure, glad you liked it!

Kjell

My guess would be that this is a commorative/ patriotic piece.

Hard to to place an age to it.

I was also thinking commorative/ patriotic. Maybe more patriotic than commemorative, 1870?s ?

It would be nice to know for sure, but still I i?m quit happy whit it!

Kjell

If original, the ribbon cross is extremely rare. When the EK was instituted there was a misreading of the criteria and the B?nderkreuz was issued as the EKI. The silver cross is a copy of the Landwehr cap badge.

Possibly, although I doubt it, private purchase for an officer. More likely a commemorative piece. Regardless, very nice

Glad you liked it, and thanks for showing the Landwehr cap badge!

Kjell

I had a 2. class in brass after all. Brass frame, loop and suspension ring, but a two pice iron sheet core.

Kjell

Here is one more.

What is the patch below the ring mad of ? It looks like lead..

Kjell

Hello!

Kjell

Very nice,never seen this before.

all the best

Nesredep

Glad you liked it!

Kjell

No problem ksg, it's an occupational hazard brought on by looking at EK's for too long lol

Of course! I knew it had noting to do whit age at all .....

Kjell

Any comments on this one would be appreciated !

When I got it, there were some very small pieces of treat attached to the loops. They were so fragile they turned into dust, there was also a spiders nest inside it. The engravings seems to have been filled whit red paint, there are still some traces of it.

Kjell

Sorry, this is a bit embarrassing, I can?t trust my eyes anymore. I clearly need reading glasses ! It?s neither a kag nor a ko, It?s 800 stamp (a very small one !! )

Kjell

ksg, what is the mark I can see on the lower arm, is it a maker mark?

Yes, it's the maker mark, kag.

Kjell

That's a first for me too! Very unusual why someone would, if you'll pardon the expression, downgrade from a first class. They have done a very nice job of removing all traces of the hinge and clasp. Is it marked 800?

Another Imperial that leaves more questions to be answered. A very uncommon & nice pick up ksg. Thanks for posting it.

Hello Kriztofer

No 800 marking. I agree on the nice job done on it, no field convertion . Why..... your guess is as good as mine. But remember, they were not collectors!

Kjell

I don?t have any 2. class in brass, but here is a 1. class, tree pice construction.
