German Aircraft Part Identification
Gunner87 replied to Eagle7-WMF's topic in CAN YOU IDENTIFY THIS?
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

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.

Millet used to sell these to collectors to "raise money" for the Laotian units. There was this one and other that he sold as a set. -
Theres 2 Luger holsters down there actually both came from a gun collector/pacific theater vet found at a garage sale the guns of course sold a long time ago but both holsters have their tools and are in great shape.

HELLO AND WELCOME. VERY NICE COLLECTION. PLEASE, WHAT WAS IN THE LUGER HOLSTER? BEST WISHES, TBIRD

I often wondered why did so many officers in the 12th SS chose to wear Italian instead of German SS camouflage. I would think the SS camo to be more effective.

I like having so much stuff that the display drips.

This is a very interesting thread. It’s all completely new to me, but I find it very interesting and informative none the less. Thank you! mikie

Hello, I can confirm the red collars are artillery related. The 403rd Artillery Regiment was created in 1917 from the depot of the 62nd RA, it is heir to the brilliant actions accomplished during the 1914-1918 war by the 66th and 67th Anti-Aircraft Artillery Regiments. Then the 403 éme Régiment d'Artillerie had been recreated in 1920 at Toul to become an Anti aircraft Régiment. They recorded 16 victories during the 1939/40 campaign and was stationed around Strasbourg, Belfort and Dijon. In my opinion the sleeves ranks are Sergeant chevron So the tunic is 1920/1930 model and the Sergent chevron is à 7 March 1931 modèle.

Looks nice. glad to see I am not the only one who piles stuff on other stuff. Rich A. on Pa.

Was this picture taken in captivity? Looks like his insignia including eagle have been removed.

Very nice collection!!

A So Called WAFFEN SS ITALIAN CAMO M1943 " CHARKOW" WINTER UNIFORM PARKA, though we doubt any of these Anoraks were made in early 1943 of the Italian Camo material, and doubtful these Italian Camo ones were even worn outside of Italy by SS or even Army troops, that's not counting any men who had them and brought them with them when their division was transferred out of Italy, like in example the 16th SS Panzer Grenadier Division, transferred to the Eastern Front in February 1945.

And another. Now this one is amazing, he's got so many Army/SS badges plus the Air Force ones, and Seven Tank Destruction Badges, hasn't gotten the Gold one for Five Kills yet, we also can see barely his Knights Cross, no ID on him on this redirect, maybe his photo will turn up again, this time with his name.

Here’s my German/Italian display. I’m 19 been collecting for 5 years. If you want close ups on anything let me know. Thanks for looking!
