Here is my M18 Helm. Nice liner, but no chin strap.

Yes, there were Frau 2&3, but, alas, he did not win any EKs to my knowledge. I thought they went well together.

It sounds like a pretty nice tunic. How many awards could he have been awarded? He has EK2 and Russian Front bibbons, 1 screw-back something, and a 3 ribbon bar. That is not bad. He was lucky, no wound badge. Also, some awards were put in for but never recieved. My friend Albert was at Stalingrad, flying the supplys in and the wounded out. He was awarded the Russian Front, Airgunner/Flight Engineer Badge, and Silver Wound Badge. He was put in for the EK2 but he was captured by the Russians before it was awarded to him.
So to me it seems the number of awards on the tunic is ok, but I am no expert. Just my 2 Phennigs.

Hello lads. Can anyone tell me the status of South Africa in WWII? Were they part of the Commonwealth? Or were they independant? What about Rhodesia as well? Ignorant Yank here, assembling curriculum for a history unit on WWII for the kids in my program. Thanks much.

So sad that these morons can not figure that a group is a group. Boy, that is a sad tale. What a hero.

The decal on my M42 is a bit crooked as well. I think they were ducking bombs at that point.

What a beautiful piece. Words do not do it justice. What is the caliber? Is it 9mm Parabellum? I am not familliar with an export round. Great post, thanks.

Very nice pieces. I did not know that the DDR rebuilt Lugers. It makes sense. I always thought the East Germans were the best gun makers in the Warsaw Pact. Looks like you prove my point. Thanks for the pics.

I do not know. I used to live there. They have a long warrior tradition. The big farm boys were important, the area was famous for large men in the army. They were issued pikes. Perhaps they just like things big.

A nice Helm. I love them. They painted mine under the rim as well so no maker marks are visible. Then it looks like they dumped extra sand on the outside and brushed it around with more paint. It is pretty thick in some places. Can't see any decal.

Nice pieces. I never seem to see big bars, 6-7-8 ribbons. The largest I've ever had was 5. What do they go for?

Here is a nice one. When I look close I can see 4 colors. Nice liner and strap. Named on the rim but hard to make out. H L---s--m??? Something like that.
