What's your newest militaria III

Hi Skipper, I dont have time for a Pm on this but if you can keep check on my ebay account-I night come away with 1-4 great German press pics.

 

I will Carl, if not today I will check it tomoroow, possibly during my lunch break .

 

well something just sailed in from northern German waters. have posted signed RK pics from this man in the past but this is quite unique being colored. RK mit EL end of 42 beginning of 1943, signed on the back.

Werner Töniges was the first recipient of the extremely rare S-Boot Abzeichen mit Brillants. First issued the 1st S-Boot pattern badge on 28th of January 1941 and then received the 2nd pattern S-Boot badge with Diamonds personally from Großadmiral Raeder on 16 December 1942 and this is what is shown on his dress tunic. The bade has 9 Diamonds incorporated into the swastika which is over-sized............. ah more fun things for the KM Schnellboot collection ...........

Great new additions guys,

I'm just back from France myself today so when I get unpacked I'll post a few photos

 

Hi Skipper, E, Andy, Kai and all.

Thanks Skipper, and im going to attempt to access my ebay account soon as I leave here. One pic shows German Halftracks w/mounted Rocket Launchers (Nebelwerfer Tubes) and I forget what the other pics contain but are very nice ones nice enough to get me to possibly spend a lot of money I cant afford to spend this month.

Nice shot of Toniges, E.

Cool Ordnance Spotter.

Looking forward to seeing yer stuff Andy.

 

Well, I just checked and I did win one German press photo. This one was one of the best of what I was bidding on and certainly the rarest of the five pics. This one is aPK pres photo of a Quad MG-Flak Halftrack. It appears sight unseen, that this [pic was taken on the Eastern Front. SHows a soldier in a greatcoat standing on the "deck" by the guns So Skipper when yopu have time?? ;-))

 

firstly, a British 25 pounder (1944 dated), followed by two 40mm (42and 43 dated)

 

excellent base plate markings Andy on this special piece

 

thanks Erich, all three have perfect markings .....especially nice as I picked the 25 pounder up close to Falaise

 

two bren ammo pouches, one dated 1943, other one's markings are two faded to read

 

Hi Andy, great stuff as always and you get a salute soon as I get some to give.

 

a rather modest crop today, but still very nice:

A Queen Mary relic, with enamal brooch with George VI crown. The Queen Mary was a famous liner that transported troops from the USA to the UK during the war.

 

Some great items guys. I'm back on here after 2 very busy months... a lot of militaria to catch up on! Good to see that a third "newest" thread has started - I may be able to post some of my own photos soon...

 

It is a Mauser bayo and in very good condition and worth in this fine condition about 100-$ with the frog. You'll have to identify the maker of the blad ethough, it could have been made abroad (or not) under licence, but the scabbard is German for sure

 

these are my latest acquirements, arrived today, and the result of a kind offer from one of our members here, for help and assistance I gave, and to say I'm pleased! and overwhelmed, is an understatement, many thanks to you jason, my best regards ray..

Solingen was the biggest blade maker in Germany. If you paid 10 bucks you certainly have a winner here.

 

Ray you have two nice Koppelschlösser here!
