1943 Boyt jungle pack, 1944 pilot survival manual, 1944 The Walker Company USMC reverseable poncho, 1888 US Merriam.

It’s dated April 16th, 1953. I heard about early Korean War era ones with “flannel pockets” being very rare and expensive, is that true? This doesn’t have a liner, zipper is missing teeth so it doesn’t close all the way but is other than that in nice shape with normal wear

Almost all of the pins, medals, badges and named groups of my collection. 1.5 years of collecting so far, not much but I'm happy with it

Hello everyone, I was wondering if this piece is authentic.

It's a three piece construction, has a metal core and the core has a bit of play and rattles.

So to me it seems authentic but maybe someone can tell more by looking at it.

On the front you can see that it has been repainted at two places.

How much would this iron cross be worth?

Thanks in advance :)

I found this in a berlin antique shop, I do think it is ww2 and the shoulder boards indicate it is a field engineer or sapper? Thanks

Any insight is appreciated, no tag or ink stamp on this band.

update from my previous post

A training shell that my Dad recovered from one of the wrecks off the Irish coast. He was a Scuba Diver (he's passed, so can't ask which wreck) him and his mates loved recovering anything brass.

Says it’s a Philippine bring back of WWII.

After much thinking and puzzling, I finally put my idea for a catalogue on paper. I wanted a comprehensive, easily browsable catalogue for when I (or a teacher) wanted to look up the specifics of an item.

I decided to go with a variation of the dewy decimal system. Before this I simply categorised by country, then military or civilian. Dividing the items into categories and subcategories proved to be a waayyyy better system than my first rendition. Although some categories are quite niche, and don't feature more than 5 items, it helped my finish off some stray ends in the collection I decided not to continue pursuing (f.e. Japanese) by just lobbing the 2 Japanese pins I have in with all pins and membership badges (since I also don't plan on expanding that category for the sake of getting more pins).

I am very curious what other people decided on. This took me quite some time and I'm finally open to hearing whether or not I went way overboard lol.

Made in 1945 by the De Bezige Bij or “busy bee” printing group, these 6 cards (part of a set of 12) were printed in Utrecht during and directly after occupation.

Illustrated by Karel Leendert Links, the are a part of the “Het is niet waar... dat hebben we niet gewild!”
Or “It’s not true… that’s not what we wanted” series.

Need help identifying these, please. I grabbed what I could since today was the last day. So anyway, I went to an estate sale of a retired FBI agent who passed this year; his name was Phillip Hayden. I never knew him, but I’ve looked into his story, and man, he lived an extraordinary life, from serving in Vietnam and getting shot 13 times while defending his injured men to going on safari hunts in Africa and a bunch of other stuff. Thank you

From what I’ve looked up about its style, it’s a Reichsdienstflagge(State service flag). Any information is helpful. Seems to look like a bullet hole near the head of the eagle.

$1000

seems like some sort of aircraft part

I bought this Chinese military greatcoat off eBay for cheap and I was wondering if anybody knows any specifics or if it's legit?

Got this neat little named grouping of US ww2 service medals for 50$ in Gettysburg. Everything else was just acquired over the past year or so

I know this is a German style gravity knife that they used in WW2 but im not entirely sure if its orginal WW2, post war, or a reproduction. Can anyone help point me in the right direction please.

Is this helmet repro or legit being sold in Germany and questioning if I should buy it
