      I like the standard grey M43 cap with the Luftwaffe eagle on the front.  Sometimes we see these Flackhelfer kids wearing the HJ diamond on the front peak of their Model 1943 cap.     Here is something you can be on the lookout for.  This is an HJ Honor badge award with the wide gilt edging.  Notice it is RZM marked and serial numbered on the back.  I picked this up as a "freebee" on a tunic that I bought at SOS years ago.     You are collecting some nice goodies.

      Looks like a parts dagger made up of bits and pieces to me.  Certainly not German.

      Hi Otter42,   That's an intriguing pin. My guess is that it is Lithuanian as well. I certainly wouldn't bet against it. But the white - red - white shield has me wondering if there is a Belarusian connection. Here's an image showing what I mean:   Military and Diplomatic Mission of the Belarusian Democratic Republic in Riga https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belarusian_People's_Republic   Either way, I think it's quite interesting.

      I've got nothing...I like the carved grip, and shape of the blade, scabbard etc.  The one cross-guard looks crudely repaired. Seems real whatever it is, but I can't find anything that looks like that. Not even close. How much is it?  If cheap enough, I would take a chance.

      I've noticed these on most uniforms but what are they? I'm not very familiar with german stuff in general. I couldn't find a explanation on them but maybe I didn't look hard enough.

      Any chance we could get a picture of lining? The quality seems to be a bit better than a re-enactors coat. It follows the typical regs of an infantry regiment coat with Edwardian general service buttons. These continued to be worn into the 30's with the guard regiments wearing them up to present day. The wool looks like high quality British produced fabric.

      It doesn't seem anyone has posted one of those on this forum so I thought I'd add mine.
