Greetings to All,

I was told that this is a fuse used by the OSS or by the partisan. The fuse is clipped on to a train track and when the train runs over the circular gray dome, the fuse will ignite/detonate the explosive.

The box above is the container for the fuses.

Hi,

thanks for the pictures!

Strapper I think I understand the reason for your comment if stated for the CCC die.

The CCC is massive and the rear of the CCC has another die (with the maker mark on it for example). I think that this shown positive front side CCC was the original die used to make the negative die which in turn was used as press mold for the actual clasps.

Regards,

DJ

DJ,

Thank you for the explanation. That was also explained to me but I forgot post it.

Greetings to ALL,

A friend recently purchased some OSS related items. Here is a capsule ... well you can guess where it goes. Measure approximately 7 cm long.

OK,

Here is the back side photo. There are no markings on the die.

Sorry, this is an area of interest that I am not familiar with so you can move my posting and photos to the appropriate area.

Again, these items belong to a collector who like to remain private. He has given me permission to post photos of the items that you are seeing. None of the items are for sale and I don't know the story behind them.

They are made from very good quality steel and are very heavy.

I will post more photos of such items shortly.

The die used to make the hat badge is on the shelf to the right side of the photo. These dies don't have any sort of maker marks/stamp on them. Made from very good quality steel and are really heavy.

Hello DJ,

Will be posting the back side to the badge and the die shortly. Will also post other photos of other similar items he has.

Hello Norm,

My apologies. I do not know enough about the manufacturing process to make any comments. This gentleman has others items similar to this. They don't seem to be damaged; then again, I would not know what to look for.

I find it fascinating that we collect all these badges and really never see the items used in the manufacturing process. I just wanted to share the photo with members of the forum.

Hello DJ,

Sorry I do not have any photos of the back of these items. They are not mine and I did not want to risk damaging them. He was kind enough to let me take some photos and I did not want to press my luck moving items that I can't afford. It would be my bad luck to drop that chunk of steel. If I meet him again, I will ask his permission to take more detailed photos.

Hello Norm,

Please pardon me for not sharing the story behind this. The item is rather unique and I just wanted to share this photo with members of this forum.

Greetings.

My interest is mostly in WWII Soviet item. However, I do appreciate one of a kind item and would like to share something seen recently. The items do not belong to me and they are not for sale. For your viewing pleasure.

"Missing" as in NOT prisoners, dead?

So these were removed from officers' bodies in an attempt to ascertain enemy Order Of Battle?

No I don't think so because a few of these officers that I've researched survived the war and was repatriated back to the UK. I used the term "missing" because the RFC Report on Casualties to Personnel and Machines (When Flying) stated: Pilot left Aerodrome 7.15.pm. 12.7.17. Not since been heard of.

This report was for LT Harold Morgan Lewis.

I've paid a few bucks to have a few of these officers researched...

Lt Lewis was flying a Nieuport Scout No. BL625 type 23 on Offensive Patrol when he went missing on July 12, 1917.

I think that LT Strickland was a observer/gunner(?) on another plane when he went missing.

I would realy like to find any of these officers relatives because I think that they would appreciate these items much more than me.

The badges in photos 1-3 were attached to a German field postcard. The German Officer name was blackened out but it is still barely legible.
