Hello everyone, I usually don’t post much, I mostly just follow the forum, but I’ll try to change that. This is my example of the Inter-Allied Victory Medal in the French version. A simple piece by the Paris Mint, with the cornucopia and BR marks, purchased at a street market in Spain. Could anyone provide more information about this case? Are these boxes genuinely French and authentic to the period? Regards, Marcius

Thank you for your comments 

The helmet looks fine to me, entirely in light-colored leather. The liner has an ‘eight-finger’ configuration, a leather chinstrap, and a padded shock-absorbing lining.  

Actually, no. Italians have a Latin appearance with darker skin, but in the north there is also a look with very fair skin, blond hair, and light-colored eyes. The child below is my father; he has 100% Italian ancestry on both his father’s and mother’s side.

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.
