EK 1939 Interesting RKT photo
Richard Gordon replied to Richard Gordon's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross

For those of you interested in the variations of the Knight's Cross and the many threads discussing rounders, unknown makers, etc. this photo is interesting... It looks like none of the 'authorised' makers but yet it must be. Perhaps the cross is sitting at an unusual angle, but the arms look very narrow. Any thoughts/guesses as to which maker? I'm thinking it must be Juncker. Rich

EK 1939 Knights cross
Richard Gordon replied to repadilla's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
Repadilla Welcome to GMIC, I hope you find your stay here pleasant and informative! As for your potential purchase, I would recommend that you post images of the cross here first before committing to buy. The marking L/21 is not a recognised manufacturer of the Ritterkreuz so already I would have concerns. Regards Rich -
Here for your perusal, is my complete flight helmet. It's a little scuffed around the ear cones but is complete. The throat mike strap is secured with a single, large pop-stud as opposed to the smaller 2 pop-stud type. It's standard dark-brown in colour. One day I hope to add the summer version and netted version. Rich

Morning all! Chris B shared with us his ultimate combat helmet that has history to a famous regiment. Today I'll share this one with you. As you can see it's a nice Luft M42 SD with the shell marked NS64. Liner is standard with pin-skin leather and original chin-strap. Unfortunately no name can be found anywhere on this helmet. So where does the 'history' part come in??? Can anyone guess??
