      Good morning. This is not my area of expertise. But I just acquired this and hoped to get some feedback. The consteuction looks very good to me and it has the aged look it should have. If good, I had two questions. 1) Is this a WWII era issue used for special occasions? 2) what is the meanibg of the "U-29" mark? Thank you for your time and expertise!

      All, I recently picked this up at an estate sale and need help identifying it. Contains an image of French General Joffre on the upper left and a quote attributed to him during the battle of the Marne. Translated it reads  "Troops that can advance no farther must, at any price, hold on to the ground they have conquered and die on the spot rather than give way," Date is Sept 6-7 1914. This is mounted on marble or onyx and is very ornate. Weight is 17 lbs and measures approx 12" X 16: x 1" Does anyone have any input on what this is> Obviously far to ornate to present to the average soldier.... I can't help to wonder if it was presented to the general himself.

      A new man in the unit?, a Private, no awards except that Hitler Youth one, then why the NCO Candidate cord on shoulder straps?, the Anti Tank Battalion, the  private is wearing a Field Grey Panzer uniform , with White Piping on the Collar.

      I am from Antwerp. I am working on completing my US WW2 infantry man impression (not a specific unit), I have everything except the shoes and gaitors. So I like to collect US WW2 gear and uniforms (i don't have a big collection yet but i hope to get at least 4 full (US WW2) impressions done.). I also like to collect some WW2 items from other countries.

      Hi there, I have just made an account on this forum. I already have been active on the USMF but not here yet. I would like to explore and use this forum too. regards BC

      It looks good to me.  It still has the 1918 style liner band in it, and the helmet also appears to have been painted black.   Which was done by some army units in Normandy.  Generally by anti-aircraft units, but I am sure some others did the same.  Hard to say without better examination of the decal, but could be a very early transition helmet.  Here is my M35 double decal that is painted black.
