What's your newest militaria III

Almost forgot.. Otto Tange photo and dedication to parents in the back of the card.

 

Picked this one up this morning! A German Shrapnel minen smi-35 container, with its three compartments for three landmines. It has great cammo paint, which is believe looks original. If someone can tell me where to look for Waffenamt markings please tell me.

 

great additions Gentlemen ..............

 

Oooohhhh....my sort of thing, Skipper.........

 

I thought of you when I spotted this Martin. I found it at a village fair near Beaugency, the very place where General Elster's collumn surrendered in 1944. I like to think it was part of one of his truck loads. Don't ask the price I paid for it, you'll hate me

 

Let me guess...something extortionate like 10 euros?

Great addition to your collection, Skipper!

Have you tried looking for the WaA stamp near the handle as I know ammo tins usually have them stamped there?

 

I was actually waiting for you to tell me where the waa marking are supposed to be. I'll have a look at those markings, if any.

Btw: your guess was right

 

All I got today. Robeson knife,camo coverall tagged size 40. Rich A. in Pa.

 

What tybe is the Robeson Knife? A Mk 1?

 

I also got this 1939 framed picture from an Sous Officier from the French 8th Cuirassiers who fought in Belgium and in France .

 

Class Skip !

on your Minen container check underneath and at the ends lower portion the Waa # might be there as well......

 

I will and btw the way have a drink on me. This Britsh enamel bottle came with the frame. It must be an early version because the blue is rather WW1 , but the web and cloth are WW2 , so probably B.E.F.

What I got monday for my $8. Book and clip of ammo. Rich A. in Pa.

 

Good stuff everybody, sorry for making myself so scarce, I'm submerged at the job......**** happens....

 

What I got wednesday. Flame Thrower gun and carved bone Japanese sword scabbard and hilt. Rich A. in Pa.

Nice items for both of you gentlemen.

 

Nice photo album, well at least it starts nicely but then it seems it has also Luftwaffe and RAD and Gebirgsjäger photos. Perhaps someone made a photo album from a number of photos...

 

Some Luftwaffe photos from the album. then again might be the original owner´s mates or brothers...?
