Hi Terry! A late answer is also an answer! The second medal is German established after ww1, Freikorps Hamburg. The city of Hamburg still have the three towers as their city arms. The third is Ehrenkreutz f?r frontk?mpfer from ww1. Then you have The Liberty medal for Finland or "Finland?s white rose" and the last one is also a rater ordinary Finnish medal but I cant?t remember its name. I send you some photos!

German Gun Powder. Still working!

Hi! I think it?s made of ordinary wool but the sack has been in water for a numbers of year and still in good condition. The whole shell were inpacked with gun powder sticks and after you dried one in the air a couple of minutes, it was ready to burn when lighted! Picture comes!

3,7 cm caliber.

(I didn?t reach to finish my text before the message went away)

You can find these small sacks on the bottom of German shells. They have to be un fired of course.

I want to show you very rare objects. It?s small sacks which contain gun powder inside the canon shells. They fitted to 12,7 cm

the cloth can also be in poor condition! But the historic feeling comes anyway!

Close up pictures from the KM jacket!

the same book!

Hi gents! Here is a nice book wich has been in water for 50 years. It deal with music history. Nothing special but it belonged to

Tirpitz.

Hello there!

Clothes and papers of all kind in salt water looks very bad when you find it. Some of them are of course in very bad condition and it looks like that

some worms have eaten on them. But if one are gentle with the items one can have a nice peace of war history after wash and cleanliness.

Especially papers can after it has slowly dried be as good as new. I.e. ink and text from lead pencils lokks perfect. I will take a photo of some

KM-documents and add to this side.

all the best to you guys!

Hi! I can?t see if it is the Sport Badge. My first impression was a that it was a death?s-head, like Panzertruppenabzeichen der Legon Condor

Backside! It stands F.Hoffstatter.Bonn and on the other side GES.GESCH.

The Potsdambadge shows again and I also have the important backside on this photo this time. Unfortunately the badge is

corroded

The board is a slip on, tongue cut off.

Nice peace you got there!! Never seen it before! Unteroffizier in Flak Artilleri Schule! :)

Always forget what this one is..........

Hey Leigh! My mouth is opened with something which trickle on my T-shirt when I see your collection!!

Fantastic! is the word! The arm badge you show belongs to Technical Artisan (handwerker)! There are other similar badges.

The color of the edge of the badge is distinguishing. Motor or armoured mechanic,2nd class have no edge but Motor armoured mechanic, 1st class

have a red edge. Finally Master technical artisan have a yellow edge.

Hi, gents! I just want to show you my German war bounds, wich I found in a KM jacket pocket many years ago. They were totally covered of oil. I found them during diving!

That is one great helmet! I love it!

Are you saying that you found that KM jacket under water? How long had it been submerged?

I found it in 1995-96 i think and it was laying on 15 meters deep in the mud. The jacket was also full of oil but oil is also preserving! I had it in many ligroin bath before it was free from oil. The bottom was full of remains from the ship!!

Here is a KM jacket which I found on the bottom where Tirpitz sank. The jacket were drowned with oil but I cleaned it. You can find name and stamps on the inside. the frame comes from the civil ship "Hamburg" wich sank in Lofoten, Norway by the destroyer Cossack during the Lofoten raid.

Small peace from a KM vest for finer occasions! The medal is just placed there by me.

I don?t know what happened but I go on with my text! I bought the jacket from Norway. As you can see is the swastika under the eagle gone. When the

peace came 1945, all swastkas must been taken away from all uniforms. The medals have I just put on the chest after I bought the jacket.

Mr Kitchen! I send you this picture on a coastal artillery lieutenant jacket first which I
