Post 71 SV National Police, judicial branch, 406 district, Mekong Delta, Vinh Binh. I know this white (Grey) mice pulled up his belt on the wrong side . Localy made holster, M56 belt and US whistle.        

Great piece. Never saw anything like it. Thanks for posting. Dave

Beautiful piece.  Very fortunate you have it in your collection. 

Looks good…size belt “98”….buckle 👍🏼

I am not a German collector, but I just bought a lot that included a GI's bring back items. Among them was this SS enlisted buckle and belt. While there is a small area of the back of the buckle that I can't see very well, I do not see any markings. I see a "86" or "98" in the belt leather, but nothing else. I was hoping to get professional opinions on this one. Thanks so much!

This is sort of an odd one. It came out of the collection of William R Bricker after he passed away and then ended up on eBay where I got it. I had a booklet from the NAWCC that had his stuff on exhibit. The issue mark on it some collectors think it might not be right and some do. But this is a rare watch in itself so don't think someone would ad it. Any info would be apricated. Still has its original key to lock the box and another for turning the hands like on old key wind pocket watches.

The one on the right your right. Here is a photo of that one. It was made in China and sold to sailors of the US Navy Asiatic Fleet maybe to gun boat sailors like that movie the sand pebbles with Steve McQueen if you never seen that movie it's worth a watch. This pipe I paid a lot for but there one on Ebay that the guy wants double so I think I did OK this one has a makers mark still trying to find more info on it.

Very nice. Impressive.  Is the one in the right lower corner the one from China? It looks really nice and ornate. Dave

Here is the collection got one other pipe in my Navy retirement shadow box. I could show each pipe and country, but some are vintage US Navy, you can see those in the US Military forum in the Navy section.

I would think that's a difficult jacket to find - Chinese nationalist, tailor made, dated.   Steve 

Would like to see a picture of the collection. Can you post one? Dave

I have about eight boatswain pipes in my collection. One is one I used in the US navy it got a little out of hand lately added three the last few months that were not cheap like this one an early Russian one and one I might have overpaid for an early dragon boatswain pipe made of silver sold to US sailors in China that's as rare as this Japanese boatswain pipe. I put them in a shadow box for the wall so they can be seen.
