      I would think the chinstrap is original.....though it is no longer complete. Looks like the attaching clips on both sides have broken off. Too bad about that but it is legit! Nice... Rob

      Hey gang...you might have seen this buckle before but I am dying to find out who was issued this small trouser buckle? It certainly looks military in nature....anyhow...I'm stumped. Any information or leads would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for looking gang. Rob

      Hey Byf.....give yourself time. There's nothing wrong with taking time to familiarize yourself with helmets in order to avoid getting a raw deal in the future. Rob

      Rick! Man....that was super quick....thanks so much for the info. I knew it had to do with the medical field....just didn't know the details. Thanks for the great explanation! I appreciate it Rob

      I think this armband was used by medics (????) but I am not in any way 100% sure on that....Can anyone tell me what these were used for? And what does the writing say? Thanks for the help! Rob [attachmentid=9472]

      Here is my baby: a Mark 1* Inglis 9mm Browning Hi-power. Same used by Canadian soldiers in WW2, Korea and even well into the 1980's.....you know what they say.....when it ain't broke....don't try to fix it. Some of you may have seen this already but thought I'd post here! Thanks for looking. Rob [attachmentid=9466]

      According to my references, the West wall medal was first produced in in bronzed brass and tombak (500 000 by the end of 1940). A second striking of the medal took place at the end of 1944 and this time the medal was made of bronzed zinc. Hope that helps.... Rob

      Great collection you've got going Jim! Those EKI's alone are worth a whack o' cash! Takes a while to get a kick ass collection.....you are well on your way! Thanks for showing! Rob

      I agree....something about those rivets showing through the front....would have me concerned. Rob

      Here's the name and unit markings inside the leather liner. That was quite a find. With that info. I was able to get info all the way down to the individual unit!! This unit was involved from Poland '39 to Prussia '45....cool with most of the action taking place on the eastern front! [attachmentid=9421]

      see the early font used to id MM....later versions didn't use the period between letters and the font changed as well... [attachmentid=9420]
