Imperial German button with an IR backmark.  

I don't collect this type of stuff. But I collect mainly military timepieces but also collect other stuff we all when new to collecting sometimes get burnt. I once bought a British issued CYMA issued WWW WW2 era wristwatch some 20 years ago dam thing looked real most WWW dirty dozen watches all have 15 jewel movements the fake did not, I learned that later and a few other things. Like you I posted that watch at another forum were members collect military timepieces and was told just like you I got took. I was able to get my money back and learned from that mistake. Sounds like you just got them, so I hope you were lucky to get your money back.

I found this at an antique shop in Bozeman MT once in a while I check out stuff at this antique store and saw this. Don't find much WW2 surplus like this that often but when I was a kid in the 1960's you would find this stuff all the time in antique stores and army surplus stores. Would the A be blood type?

Many thanks Mr. Bushido

I actually ended up selling it to a ww1 german collector. 

Came across a three piece maroon beret where 49 hand etched in lines were added to the outer rim of the French airborne beret badge manufactured by Mourgeon.            

That seems right. The label on the box says, “Type 38 rifle - Cartridge／×15”. It seems to have been made in 1940.

I don't have a lot of armor patches, but here are a few that I do have.  

Thanks a bunch Mr. Jerry. I appreciate your time.

I am pretty sure this is 6.5cal for the type38 made in 1940, am I correct?

Drove thru a snow storm to pick up.... Two packs of Japanese ammo 1940 dated,  Western 45acp ammo 1942 dated, And a pack of wartime Lucky Strikes

Thank you Mr. Bushido for your input. I was leaning the same way But it's nice to hear from someone else.  Mark
