First Pattern Dispatch Rider's Helmet, British Army no?     Here a 1941 dated one. Check under the Sweatband for markings like this one below has.   https://www.blightymilitaria.com/en-GB/ww2-british-helmets-and-hats/scarce-original-1941-dated-first-pattern-dispatch-rider-s-helmet/prod_54751?srsltid=AfmBOoqGjuJ39qpgk_rtLtw0PDzB5qNQLLX3PkjtVd89uXoqmpPTwv3H

Mikie,   I am not 100% sure but it has some similar characteristics of the M1942 Australian Duperite helmet.. Made for Australian paratroopers but never used beyond training.. It looks like fiberglass material and the odd looking leather on the liner looks similar to the sides  of the Duperite helmet... What is throwing me is the number of eyelets around the rim.. Perhaps repurposed as a dispatch riders helmet???   Google Duperite helmet and you'll see what I mean   Best regards   Leigh       

I spotted this at an antique shop. They don’t have an ID for it and I can find no markings at all. It looks like maybe a tanker helmet? Or maybe a motorcycle helmet? Do any of you know what this is?  Thanks in advance for looking, and even bigger thank you if you let me know what it is. mikie

Would you happen to know if an original long m1870 bayonet will fit on a m1870/87/15 rifle?

Hi,   I would appreciate any advice on whether this Pith helmet is an NVA Vietnam war or a post war helmet? thanks

A SS variant, reverse of the standard.

Not Legion Etrangere. Their colours are green and red plus there is a flame missing on the bomb

Right. Just buttons. That's the kind of stuff I can get my hands on so that's what I post about so I can contribute where I can.    I have seen pictures of British buttons so similar I now think these are British. The enlisted navy buttons don't have a crown so I think British is the right answer. i still want a guide to each country's navy anchor design, though I'm sure each used several over the decades and fewer folks really collect navy.    If you rub Formula 409 with a q-tip into a bakelite item, it leaves a mark. 

I've got a few of these. No idea what they go to. Any help will be appreciated!
