I acquired this booklet in a grouping to Polish Expat pilot Jan Falkowski, a 9 victory ace.  The inscription is in Polish, which I unfortunately I don't speak.  But It's apparently an inscription to Jan Falkowski from an officer friend in the 1st Polish Armoured Division.  It is a commorative booklet of sorts and is the history of the Division's liberation of the Netherlands.  Interestingly the inscription is dated December 10, 1944.  Since the Division liberated Breda on October 29, 1944, this booklet must have been printed in Breda shortly after the liberation.  It measures 6" X 12" and contains 38 pages and approximately 70 photos.  Guessing this might be fairly scarce.  I found one for sale on the internet but it was marked as "Sold" and the selling price was not shown.  So I haven't any Idea of value.  Any thoughts, help or opinions welcome.  Thanks for looking.

Thanks guys! Thanks for sharing your example Leigh, torn but a great one all the same. 👍

James,   A very nice OT armband. I have one that is of similar material but mine is torn...   Leigh 

Thanks. 

Yes, it appears to be a WaA marking of inspector group 221.    

A very nice OT armband IMHO.  I like it.  

Nice!  

I will point out that the wooden scabbard, grip, and associated fittings are storage for the blade.  The blade is considered to be the sword and any wording such as blade length is secondary to the blade.     I hope this is helpful.  

“heaving and rolling, but we are as happy as Larry,”      MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Messages in a bottle written by two Australian soldiers a few days into their voyage to the battlefields of France during World War I have been found more than a century later on Australia’s coast.   The Brown family found the Schweppes-brand bottle just above the waterline at Wharton Beach near Esperance in Western Australia state on Oct. 9, Deb Brown said on Tuesday.   WWI soldiers’ messages in a bottle found on Australian beach more than 100 years later  

Because that’s what kids did to helmets in the 1960’s and 1970’s.

Made to replace this design.

It is a classic 7.62 NATO blank cartridge that was used in both the M-14 and M-60 MG. Should be a head stamp on the base that would give you date of manufacture.
