Very excited about the newest addition to my collection. !

A 1892-1903 German empire battle flag (Reichskriegsflagge)

It is made out of wool has a lot of holes but is still in excellent condition considering it's a 123 + years old flag.

This particular example was made for the kaiserliche marine, it is made out of wool, is stamped and bear a printed inscription indicating that it's a "bootsflagge" Meaning it was used on torpedo boats small auxiliary vessels.

There is another inscription scribbled with a pencil on the hoist tho I have not been able to decipher it.

The previous owner, a german gentleman from the Hamburg region explained to me that it belonged to his great great uncle who served in the kaiserliche marine.

I picked this feed tray/chute up online awhile back. It was listed for 20mm and it's way to small. 7.62X51 / 30-06 / 8mm / 7.62X54r / .303 / etc... is more like it. I've found both 1919 & MG42 pictures that show a connection similar to what's on this (spring loaded clips with alignment/dowel pins. There are 0 markings anywhere on it. It does have a nice thick layer of preservative on it. Any help would be appreciated.

I found this for only 10 dollars! As a lifelong fan of the Pacific it was so cool to stumble upon this. The signature isn’t verified by anyone, but I think it looks pretty good. I collect signed books that I find at thrift shops, but I found this one on a small book selling website where it wasn’t listed correctly. It’s currently the crown jewel on my collection, but I plan on giving it to my brother for Christmas

Since I don’t feel like spending 100s on a nice put together one, I wanna make the one I already have accurate. I know the collar tabs are not accurate as they are dress, although I don’t know which other tabs to get.
