Confirming these are WW2 Army collar tabs. I've seen a yellow stripe through the center, but not a green/olive.    

Here's the show flyer for the upcoming Des Moines, Iowa Military show: April 17, 18, 19, 2026. Held in conjunction with the Trade Show Productions Ltd. Gun Show in Des Moines, Iowa. All information is shown on the flyer. I hope to see you there. Thanks, Alan        

I think this is it. 

Here is a case of rank insignia I inherited from a friends collection several years ago. i plan on redoing the case and labeling them for display

Thank You for the help with translation. When I use them in displays I will make the proper identification sign for them.

Model 24 submachine gun perhaps?

This first pictures Looks Like It Would Carry Something, It has a curved metal handle and buckles with teeth at the ends. Made out of cotton webbing.   The next one I'm not sure about? It has an opening on one side the length of it, the other side is closed, it has black metal oval slots?   Thanks

An unexpected find! This is a Derg-era patch for the Ethiopian 22nd Mountain Division. It was formed in 1981 and suffered an estimated total of 1500 dead, wounded and prisoners when the Eritrean People's Liberation Front attacked the Nadew Command in December 1987. It was so bad that the division was withdrawn from the northern front and moved to Keren. The Nadew Command CO, General Brigadier Tariku Ayne, was relieved of his position under direct orders of Mengistu and then arrested and sentenced to death on February 15th 1988. This was the prelude to the battle of Afabet, one of the most important to take place in Africa since WW2, during which the Ethiopian Army was routed by the EPLF with 8,000-9,000 dead or missing and 5,000 prisoners. The Derg eventually collapsed in 1991.

I asked a similar question on another forum regarding helmets with no marks and was informed that helmets made and used postwar by Norway look the same as M40 german helmets but have no markings.  Perhaps this is what you have here.   Lance 

These items are interesting. They have the following meanings…

What a fantastic piece and not something you see everyday here in the States. A great piece of history from a little known portion of WWI.    Scott
