Very nice! 

From my personal collection.

Here’s mine     unmarked blade

Part of my larger WW2 collection. Does anyone know where the hell I can find the entrenching tool leather frog? 

Part of my collection here in New Zealand. I’ve tried VERY hard to only purchase gear made during WW2. I have a new DP28 on the way. And maybe, a Maxim gun.

I got one minty 1928 out of Russia to New Zealand via a UK dealer about 12 years ago. And a Dap28(M). The Brit could import them into the UK provided the didn’t remain in the country other than to then re ship. It was probably a bit ‘dodgy’, but we got many minty firearms (fully functional) into NZ this way.

A labour of love.

I did the Static Line Cse at PTSU to earn mine. I was TF. The ‘wings’ were the only dress embellishment we had to sexy-up our JG’s. Had them for a year and wore them proudly to signal to the RF that I wasn’t a complete ‘Cut Lunch Commando’, and then the General ordered everyone to remove them from anything other than SD Jackets. TF didn’t get issued SD jackets……

Here’s my Kiwi knuckle knife.

Pretty rare stuff. This is a grouping of gear to a British Officer from the Royal Tank Regiment seconded to the Division to teach them how to operate Armour in a tropical environment (The Solomon Islands). Thompson is ‘live’.

Hi guys! Very glad to have found this site. I look forward to chatting with you all.

A World War Two era Buren Grand prix watch re issued during the Rhodesian Bush War.         Rhodesian army issue strap with cover. these watches where issued to certain soldiers who where required to preform specific tasks, Signals pers., squad commanders and 2nd in charge. They where not on general issue to all troops. They were Class A Stores so had to be returned periodically and if you were posted to another unit or left the service you would return it to the Q Store. Due to these limitations most Officers/soldiers purchased there own watches.
