      Yes, but more specifically for Japanese Army masks, the Navy's were different. This piece along with a plastic/bakelite syringe or dropper go in small pockets on the inside of the Army mask carrier. For some reason they were a popular bring back item for US service members.    Scott

      Kinda bizarre photo, we guess the vehicle broke down??? Have to move it away with a Horse???   Reichswehr unit unknown, got to be one of those embryonic phony panzer units though.

      A real nice view of the tunic, a Victory Parade in Poland, maybe the big one in Warsaw.

      Hi guys   Recently I was gifted an Australian WW2 1944 whittingslowe made Commando knife that was made for the US troops as a local alternative for the New Guinea/Pacific theater. As you can tell by the condition, it has been well used and sharpened within an inch of its life😁 it has all the correct markings for this maker, so the knife is a fantastic used era correct piece, it’s just the scabbard that I do not think is correct or original to this knife. Has anyone seen a scabbard like this before? It has a 1944 stamping on the leather, the leather doesn’t smell, but the rivets also look abit suss for the era🤷‍♂️ what are your thoughts, any help identifying would be great😁   Repro. Authentic?

      A locally made piece most likely presented to personnel involved in the delivery of the aircraft.

      This British Army short sleeve shirt is currently up for bid on eBay for $249.00 (see link below).   It is described as a Korean War British airborne combat shirt but does not mention the SAS possibly hoping that a prospective buyer might believe that the seller is not aware of the difference and has found a hidden treasure to entice an ignorant buyer into bidding.   Right off the lettering on the inside label is fade by either the sun or repeated launderings.  So you would expect any sewn insignia on this shirt to be in the same faded condition yet they are mint in vibrant colors.  The British did not wear cloth subdued name tapes to my knowledge during the 1950s and this looks like it was sewn on yesterday.  The SAS parachute wing itself is not from the 1950s but more 1980s and afterwards.           https://www.ebay.com/itm/116710300472?itmmeta=01KDGY5JS8K9FCESVW68Y142P3&hash=item1b2c79db38

      You're welcome Otter. Nice find.

      I have never seen one bordered like that. I believe it is an unofficial personal touch to enhance the appearance of the patch.

      These type patches are not my specialty for sure. I got this Flak Artillery at a recent sell. I can not find one like this as far as color and border. What uniform was this worn on? What does one think the value of it is? Any help I would appreciate. Thanks. doesnt show real clear but it is more of a brown color.
