A very discerning collection, well done.

The stock is engraved with "【セ二一五】Se-215". I think "Se" is an initial of something, but I don't know the details. By the way, the rifle is labeled "【四四式】Type 44."

Just bought this from a credible website called Epic Artifacts`. I was a bit skeptical that the colors weren't that worn down. Is that normal, to be expected, Or just plain fakes?

Ok, sorry about that. I had forgotten I’d joined the USMF February 2016.

1936 German Military Tank Design (Blueprints, Engineering Calculations, and Proposal)
Gunner87 replied to Peter P.'s topic in CAN YOU IDENTIFY THIS?
Hi Peter. This is fascinating, thanks for sharing. Looking at the documents, and possibly pointing out the obvious, but these are plans for an electric powered four wheeled combat vehicle. I can find no trace of it ever being put into production despite what appears to be manufacturers details in image eleven. I'll tag @Proud Kraut as he maybe able to spot something in the paperwork.

This is new to me. It may be a silly question, but who would have worn these? mikie

I was wondering if anyone could give me any info on if this is real or not. Nothing appear to glow under uv light other that what looks to be some kind of spill over the right upper chest area and iver the luftwaffe emblem. More pictures can be added if needed and thank you for any assistance.

Wondering about the Japanese writing on the stock of this carbine. Can anyone tell me what it means or the units that used such marking. I am a complete newbie on Japanese Rifles. But I really like this one.

Found at the National Archives https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C3764069 Have also sent over James' service papers by pm. Gunner

I have to second Basic Rifleman. You definitely need to share your knowledge and fantastic collections in a book to reach the wider audience of old paratroopers and collectors. Scott -
Now that's got to be a rare find. Congrats! Scott

WW2 Eastern Front Building and Burial Site Location?
Gunner87 replied to tom63's topic in CAN YOU IDENTIFY THIS?
Hi tom63 Officers' house in the Skomorokhi garrison (now Ozernoe). This link in Russian is a great informative piece on the building. https://aerovokzal.net/taynyi-zhitomira-vremen-vtoroy-mirovoy-voynyi-hegewald/ Gunner -
A friend of mine looked into where the US 84th Division crossed paths with SS units and he found this: 3-12 Jan 1945: Grandmenil area, contact with SS Panzergrenadier Regiment 3/ Das Reich Division 13 Jan 1945: Tailles area, passed through where SS Panzer Aufklarungs Abteilung 9/ Hohenstaufen Division had fought 3rd Armored Division and 83rd Infantry Division 10-12 Jan 1945. So, likely this helmet came from one of those aforementioned units. I'm glad people are enjoying seeing this helmet. BKW

Peter P. posted a topic in CAN YOU IDENTIFY THIS?
Good Day I recently acquired a package containing blueprints, engineering calculations and a formal proposal for a German Military Tank design. I have attached various photos and I am hoping someone might have an idea what this is and if it ever was made? Thank You for you assistance.
