Thanks, somebody tell me the second one could be a pakistanian reproduction is that true ? according to the seller, this one is commonly associated with 156th Battalion Parachute Regiment, No 2 Commando and Special Operations Executive. As I would like to illustrated the SOE in SE asia this could be intersting to own it

Actually received my copy of this book today and after going through it thoroughly I managed to find my above badge. It’s British made mid 1930s…so would have been early war on older uniforms I expect. But doesn’t show as a wartime made version, shows just prior to war. Still good. Just thought I’d share that info😁fantastic book btw I would highly recommend

Just post to rarest item in your collection and talk about them

Got it at auction yesterday haven’t even collected it yet

Believe you are right Lars.     Does indeed look like a Stug III Commander Hatch, with the utilization of the Scissor Scope

Thanks. I believe mine is 1946.

Nice original wings. The top is more associated with Malaya era, but photos wartime photos do exist of this/similar pattern being worn.   

It is most likely a Thai good luck medal, which is mixed with Chinese influences. The Chinese characters are for happiness, wealth and long life. The portrait on reverse is some spiritual master.  

Probably AI modified (or 100% created) indeed. This guy makes no sense at all.

I'm hoping someone here can help me make a decision on purchasing this... I don't mind that it's in relic condition but I've read lots of different things about these specific SS helmets... Apparently this one was found in a bunker (as most where it seems like)..lol... The way that I look at this helmet is that it's in such relic condition, How could one fake it by applying a decal and then aging it to look like the rest of the old helmet?... But maybe that's a thing... This isn't my area of collecting and German stuff is such a minefield I try to steer clear of it... It's local so at least I can see it in person before buying it.... I honestly don't know what to look for other than what I've read about these ss helmets in this condition... So any opinions on it's  authenticity would be much appreciated. Also what something like this might sell for.... Thanks
