Thank you all for the complements, in the meanwhile I cleaned some more items:

Funny to see that Bosch still is in use today.



K98 bayonet.



Some kind of "map reading instrument".

 

Fantastic stuff 272VGD!! By the way, thank you all 272VGD, Aru- Ed, the whole lot of you for keeping up with these posts and for the pictures. Especially the pictures of the landscape! For someone like me who has a keen interest in the Hurtgen Forest, your pictures mean a lot, kind of help me visualize the terrain and how difficult the effort was. Again, thank you very much for your efforts.

 

Great stuff! Thanks for the photos!( Be glad that some agency like the US Park Service hasn't prohibitied such great hunts in US Battlefields. Well, we can still look on private property with permission.)
