Bought this at a flea Market Sunday. Mr Bushido was kind enough to translate for me. "National Defense【國防】" "Nagasaki Prefecture【長崎縣】".

Wehrpass and Wehrdienstausweis to the same individual. The Wehrpass has much more data on the holder including duty stations, duty positions, promotions and one award and details DVP or KVP service with both MdI and NVA stamps whereas the Wehrdienstausweis has bare minimum information and contains only NVA stamps. Interestingly, this guy appears to have started his service as a cook in 1960 (p. 6). His police rank promotions show Wachmeister in 1960 and Oberwachmeister in 1967 (p. 11). The only decoration shown is a bronze Fur Treue Dienste medal in 1963 (p. 16). His Wehrddientausweis shows that he had four children (p. 10). Makes you wonder how he managed on that salary!

Thanks very much for your kind words guys! @ earlymb: A couple of very interesting Demag D7 variations do exist including vehicles with Pak, Flak, etc. Would be great to see your´s here as well! And now guess what was in the mail today...

Love the camouflage!

Excellent work! I'm working now on a 1/35 Demag D7 that will have a similar paintjob.

An interesting one, see, he's apparently an Heer Officer, wearing a Parachute Helmet, Italy June 1944, no other info on officer, we see he's not wearig a Camo Smock, just a Tunic, posably either a Reed Green or Tropical one, so maybe just posing with one on???. - Yesterday

Niger, officially the Republic of the Niger, is a landlocked country in West Africa. It is bordered by Libya to the northeast, Chad to the east, Nigeria to the south, Benin and Burkina Faso to the southwest, Mali to the west, and Algeria to the northwest. The French were a major influence in the region and the official language is French. At one time Niger had an Airborne Unit. It is unknown if they still do. Here are some representative Parachute wings from Niger. All were made by DRAGO in Paris, France except the upper left which was made by another French company, Arthus Bertrand of Paris.

Thank you gentlemen. Means a lot coming from you two.

Thank you! Next step was a wash with "Citadel Agrax Earthshade". After it has dried I drybrushed the whole gun again with Tamiya XF-60 dark yellow.

I got this one while attending a NATO Intel Officer's Course at the school at Ashford, Kent in the early 90s from two young Lts from the (then new) Zimbabwe Intel Corps (one Black, one White). We had some interesting discussions!
-
Very nice! Had not seen these before.

Great collection and presentation!

thank you. I really appreciate it. I may end up with it then as I do not have a WWII Italian helmet in my collection. The person who owns it has been collecting all his life. He likely picked it up in a rural location around 40 years ago or so. Maybe even longer. So makes sense to me it is a likely bringback. Thank you.
