That’s a great collection. Norwegian militaria is something I know nothing about but I love to learn about new things.  I also love the picture of your dog wearing that hat.  mikie

So a few years ago I purchased  posted in error. Mods please delete. Sorry. Thank you.

Hey Guys,   I just wanted to share a recent addition, this Heer Officer's M38. Worn condition with some mothing, mostly towards the rear on both sides. Hand applied insignia with small remnants of the red Artillery soutache.    Thanks! James

I haven't been on WMF in a while (Holidays), so I was pleasantly surprised to see you finished this model. I love all the interaction of the figures here. I especially love the gun loader. Well done again, Lars.   Semper Fi.   Manny

Thanks Patches..   Happy Holidays to you..   Leigh 

On Cuba during the period that would see the Spanish American War, wearing your standard Army Tropical Uniform, White with Blue Pin Strips, though in this drawing looks solid and Grey , and Hat we see. may  be the straw one.

These guys are from the 3rd Parachute Division, this division fought only against Americans in Normandy, so I vote The Netherlands Leigh.   What was left after Normandy formed up in Belgium, they along with  replacements etc etc were rebuilding etc  a Kampfgruppe was put toglhter and moved north to Holland for the opposing of Market Garden, this Kampfgruppe sees action against the British Pars apparently.

Yes, this is Sten SMG.. Perhaps a captured trophy from a previous skirmish with British Soldiers in Normandy or some other area   Leigh 

From a picture posted in Panzer Archeology. Does this Fallschirmjäger trooper have a British Sten submachine gun in his hand?    Fallschirmjäger hitching a ride on a Tiger II. One on the rear appears to be handing a motorcyclist a cigarette.    

I found a Giesselmann who was a town area commandant in Poland (City of Przemysl).    I have the book "The Key" by Bernard Brule that has the numerical indexes to a number of the SS Dienstalterslistes. I would need to know Giesselmanns SS number to cross refernce.   Leigh 

Was Giesselmann a concentration camp officer?   Anyone have a SS list?

Thank you!  The last few days have been a wild ride and we're very excited about the direction this is going. I've seen that book and have considered buying a copy, but for now I'm waiting to get info back from a man who is checking the archives and records about the ring's owner.  We know that he existed, which is a good start!
