Can anyone offer any insight to this one ?

Flip side.

It looks good to me but not positive.

Hello Gents, I'd like to hear your thoughts on this supposed SS helmet,

Second photo in the book. As Joe said, there were alot of 6 bladed props used after the war. These that were used during the war must have some identifing marks on them I'd think. Maybe a manual with these will show up one day?

I found these photos the other night going through "U-Boat War Patrol" by Lawrence Paterson, page 100. They show some good shots. The book covers the patrol of U-564 during the summer of 1942. This would lead me to believe that the 6 bladed screws were in fact used mid war as opposed to late. This of course is an assumption because the individual photos are not dated. Only the time that the book records the boat's activity is dated. Does anybody have any original KM Torpedo manuals or could perhaps point me in the right direction ? I'd like to reasearch these more. There seems to be alot of unknowns about these and I'm very curious. Thanks Gents - Jesse

Thanks Again Gunther, I understand what you mean. I think that the paint or "varnish" of the globe is newer or unused. I havn't bought them; but was entertaining it. I'm really just finding out more about these peices. Very interesting and unique items that seem antiquated for use even during that time period; but obviously were not. A highly technichal submarine in contrast to an almost ancient form of "star gazing" that had a functional use is intriguing to me. Very attractive peices. Thanks for your input - Jesse

Thanks for the reply Gunther, Can you tell me why you think it may be after the war ? I too obviously have my assumptions. The paint for example ? I'm surprised to see these used after the war. The writing on it is in German. I'm trying to think of countries that would use this. Thanks Much - Jesse

I'd like to hear what anyone knows about this Starglobe. It has no maker marks but is marked 1950.

Hallo Norby, Can you tell me about your torpedo propellor. Do you know if it was made by Norway ? Also any idea about what dates it may have been used ? Good to hear from you about this propellor. Its clearing up alot of questions. Have a great New year !!! - Jesse

The last photo is real curious - thanks much Max. I´m going to try to contact the exhibition in Laboe and see what they have to say about that particular torpedo and the question of the 6 bladed prop. Thanks again Gents. This is turning into an interesting post / hunt, hahaha - Jesse

Henrik and Joe, Thank you both for your replies and efforts with this post. I will continue to look into it as well after the holidays and when I return from abroad. My sources are limited where I am right now. I just wanted to thank you both. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year - Jesse

Another photo of a G7-a. This appears to have 6 blades as well unless I'm mistaking the photo (you may have to save and enlarge it). Any other information will be very welcome. Thank you again Gents - Jesse

Thank you for the feedback Joe. This on really has be boggled ? Attached is a photo of a G7-a from German wikipedia(http://de.wikipedia....=20080904180309). This one has 6 blades. (wikipedia may not be the best source, so a also attached a second photo from a musuem here in the States near my hometown). I'd love to hear more opinions on this. Where there 2 different props. used on a G7-a ? I'll continue to research this aswell. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays - Jesse

Joe, Thanks for the help on this. I never guessed "civilian" canister. I really thought it was some post war gear. I guess Luftschutz is a bit better than Bundeswehr, not much though hahhahha. Merry Christmas - Jesse
