      Hi Eagle7-WMF.   Welcome to the forum.   Have you considered registering and posting this at https://ww2aircraft.net/forum/   Gunner

      Calling all aircraft enthusiasts! I have this German aircraft part that I got a while back, and I haven't been able to identify it. It supposedly is German WWII electrical box from an aircraft. It definitely looks like it went through a crash. There is a data plate that has some writing and numbers, and the piece is labelled "P.5". There are three holes in the top; two of which look like they were cut out for switches, while the other looks more like a puncture. It measures about 4" x 3 1/4" x 2 1/4". Any information or knowledge on how to identify the piece would be much appreciated! -Eagle7

      Hi BarryT   A belated welcome to the forum.   Attached is an image where 'REUTELER MFG RHODESIA" appears to be mis-stamp on another Selous Scouts cap badge.   If one of our members cannot assist have you considered posting at https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/forums/   regards   Gunner

      Hello. This is a U.S. Army food container canvas bag. I've seen a lot of food containers, but I've never seen a bag made of this canvas. I believe this bag was used during the Korean War. Let me know if you have any more knowledge   Thank.

      Hi, I have a Selous Scouts 2nd Issue cap badge, I believe.   I got hold of this back in 1988/89 when I was an army cadet and I was collecting/trading militaria.   I have been looking at this badge, and I believe it to be genuine, however it is double stamped for the makers mark. Is this a common thing?   Any help would be appreciated.

      I don't think so, the lack of a Brest Eagle and Collar Tabs maybe is a personal preference for field wear, but then if captured, why did he or a enemy soldier rip them off but let him wear still all his medals. And bluse isn't a 1st Pattern where the Eagle was not sewn on,  as the 1st Pattern Bluse had no lower pockets, this one being worn does as we see.

      The buttons are Bullet buttons on the above uniform in portrait Non? Tunic Allan H has lacks Shouder Straps as we see.
