      Aloha!   A sports store in my area is closing and through a private contact, I was able to sweep up a tremendous amount of military antiques. Everything from helmets to knives, I got it. From the beginning, it's been a battle to identify everything. This piece in particular is a hard nut to crack. I mainly collect helmets so I am not very well-versed in anything more complex than chinstrap construction. That said, I could still identify the other radios and field telephones I received.   This is just a mystery though. I do not know if it is telephone or radio equipment. At first, I believed it was a manpack radio of sorts as it has carrying straps on the back. Later, I was told it looks like a telephone switchboard. The only writing is what you see on the control panel. The only full word on the panel (Körözvény) translates to "roundabout" in Hungarian which is my only indication of origin. All the knobs and switches function. I haven't a clue as to how to turn it on though.   ANY AND ALL INFORMATION IS WELCOME!   Dimensions: L 17in, W 8in, H 12.5in

      Hey Guys,  i need some help. I’m looking for a trigger spring for my husbands gun. The gun belonged to his father whose father owned before that. This is the only part he needs to complete the rebuild. I’ve included pics of the spring I need. Any help at all, a lead in the right direction, would be so greatly appreciated! Btw, you guys on this forum are awesome! I’m not on here very often but I’m a gun enthusiast and am always amazed by how helpful everyone is on here! Thank you in advance for any and all help!!    Thank You,    Samantha

      From the movie 1917, it came out in 2019.   The unit is the 2nd Battalion Devonshire Regiment, which in 1917 was in the 23rd Brigade 8th Division, and then that Formation Sign is correct, it is a combination of the Brigade and Division Signs.

      James Fox brother of Edward Fox, he served a spell in the Coldstream Guards as a officer, we guess in the early 60s, here he is in Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines, wearing what could be a Coldstream Uniform, if so maybe his own.

      I was lucky enough to find two of these (one new and one used).  Those are the only two I've ever seen.

      Maybe the photo was taken outside the barracks, during an exercise???

      I can't open the first link provided by SteveB as my virus program blocks the website but I'm guessing this is the similar pin (see below) being referred to where a smaller representation of their beret badge replaces the CLI cypher.  This slightly different pin is described as a Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry Cross Swords and Rifle Sweetheart Broach.   
    • Ivydiv
      I think the "20" mark is Zimmerman. He usually marked his pieces on the inside of the pin rather than the outside. Dave
