Now the wife and I have moved into the new house and I have finally got a display cabinet sorted (and expanded the collection some) I have some new photos of the collection to share. (the books and models are mostly around there to fill in the gaps while I wait on a few things) (The brown leather binder holds a variety of german ww2 photos and stamps, pics of which I will share when my new job lot of photos comes in and the binder is even more filled out) All in All it provides a nice conversation piece to our dining room! Majority of the collection is original pieces with a couple repro/fake pieces in there to fill the space til I find originals or something better. The helmets and overseas cap however are stamped and legit. The left british helmet being a ww1 model and the right being a ww2 model. I especially love the Luftwaffe cap cockade on the german shelf, it was a crash recovery piece and the edges have melted.  

I was hoping someone could help me with this. I can't seem to find the German three letter manufature code CSW that is marked on the handle, and there isn't a year stamp. Has anyone seen this before? It looks like the handle is spun/manufactured correctly as it should be.  Is this an original, or some sort of repro?  Thank-you for your help!!

Luftwaffe Fliegerbluse. Very popular among Luftwaffe personnel. Worn throughout the war.,  

Holy s!!t you found that in a barn! That's in beautiful condition especially the frog with the early brass buckle. I would search the rest of the barn to see if there is anything else hidden in there.😍            Bill

Just out of curiosity, I don't collect TR tunics but what kind of tunic is he wearing, I don't see any upper pockets.

Jewelry. 

Found this Arisaka bayonet a few months ago. I am infinitely amazed by what is still out there in the world. I have bought M1 helmets from Greece and North American canteens from Africa. I found an Arisaka type 30 bayonet in a barn in the middle of the U.S. surrounded by cows. Every "thing" I find is a lesson from the past. I have told myself and my children that I collect these things for learning purposes. It is a shame on me and us that history seems to repeat over and over and over and over, but there never seems to be any learning involved.  I am starting to think that I don't want to collect these weapons of war anymore. If I could have my wish I would buy the whole world beers and pints and watch the stars. Here is the bayonet I found in a barn surrounded by cows who were only interested in grazing. I hope you have a great night tonight wherever you are located on this pale blue dot.

Oh, my mistake, I thought it was posted here and another random member was using the pictures trying to pass it off as their own.  I thought it was posted here originally. Yes, you will definitely get some more attention here 😁  

I found these, from the source listed in Post#2:  

looks like a take on the Cuban coat of arms IMHO

Great looking helmet! I'd love to see the inside if you have pics  : )
