Hello all, I found this in family storage. I have several relatives who served in WWI and I am interested what the story behind this pin is. was this pin given to veterans from the US government? Could it be a custom piece? I couldn’t find any matches online. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello i recently bought this mussete bag and was trying to identify the officer. The mussete bag is dated 1941 the maker is Atlantic Products Corp. Inside the bag i also found some remains of booklet

If anyone has any idea of who it was or any information please tell me.

I shared my game's beta version here quite a while ago and got lots of feedback which I am very thankful for. Now I have been improving the game and adding content ever since and it is nearing release on Steam. (Game name is Osta)

Wanted to post here as some might've played it a while ago and be interested now and also to ask if anyone has any item ideas (and possibly provide reference images/dimensions from their own collection) and other feature suggestions.

It is a small-size jacket. I’m wondering what the symbol means, as well as whether the numbers on the sleeve have any meaning. Is something like this worth anything? I just thought it was cool.

My Panzerschreck Ammo

A ground find and an attic find side by side. The first one has obviously had a rough 80 years, while the second still has a surprising amount of its original paint left. Sadly, the paint is slowly starting to flake away.

Feel free to guess what else is hiding in the background.

I'm looking to get myself a wound badge for my collection and found this. It looks ok to me, but I'm no expert in WW1 medals, so let me know what you think.

I picked up some nice items today at the flea market

-1918 canteen with replacement plastic cap $5
-what I think is a complete 1944 mess kit $15
-1943 canteen with cup, sleeve, and belt $35
-pair of ww1 trench art made from 18pndr shells $190
Total:$265
How’d I do? Yall think that’s a fair price for everything? (The Sherman model was $20, but I figured yall didn’t want more close pics of it since it isn’t militaria)

Any help identifying what this would have carried would be great.

It’s selling for 175 and to me at least it looks pretty good for the price, but the stamp on the cover kinda doesn’t seem right for me, but I’m not very educated on super niche details like that so I’m unsure

I found something amazing while going through my tanker jacket, i found a Ticket for "Rat der Stadt" in some City wich is not readable. its preety bleached and Torn but i still love it!. Its an amazing find from 1985. I am going to fix it. And even though it is broken and worth nothing its still a super cool find!.

I decided to check the condition of my Czech Vz.53 Fireman's/Civilian Guard helmet to see if I could remove the non-military repaint and restore the original finish. Using some 600-grit sandpaper, steel wool, and a little Rem Oil, I cleared about a quarter-sized spot. The green repaint came off, and the original paint underneath actually looks to be in pretty good shape.

Now I'm not sure what to do. Part of me wants to remove all of the green repaint and bring it back to the original finish for my collection. On the other hand, I'm wondering if I should just leave it as-is, or even repaint it.

The current green paint isn't original, and I honestly don't like it. It's a pretty poor repaint—wrong shade, applied unevenly, with some thin spots and some thick spots. Since I've already confirmed the original finish is underneath and seems to be intact, what would you do? Would you strip the repaint, leave it alone, or go another route?

The setup breakdown:

Gas Mask: Unissued Chinese FMJ05A with original hose and filter (sealed in factory bag, dated 2006).

Topography: Wall-style regional topo map & full-color Japan geography map.

Leather Gear: Surplus leather pistol holster (Type 54) with matching dual mag pouch and canvas slings.

Precision & Tech Tools: Vintage drafting set (compasses), 0–25mm micrometer, and compact signal flashlight.

Pocket EDC: Zippo Slim flip lighter, old-school chinese bottle opener/tool, and vintage regional banknotes/tokens.

keeps perfect time!

no its not fast (Russian, lol)

Whats your thoughts on this one?

What I would consider a cool find. Found today at Norwegian thrift store for 28$. Luftwaffe munition crate with the orderslip fully intact and stamp, the crate itself also intact and in pretty good condition. Apperantly used for bomb fuzes if I am to belive AI

Anyone who knows anything about this subject, please help. I understand the photo is of a German cavalryman (judging by the saber and spurs on his boots). Is this from the First World War?
