      I posted this on the 'What's it" section about 10 days ago and it was identified as a 1917 tactical field map. I posted it here to get more coverage of those interested in the pre 1933 items.  It's not mine but It belongs to a neighbor of mine who believes it was his grandfathers who served in WW1.  I am posting it to share with others that have more knowledge about it and historical relevance than I do. Any comments or information appreciated.  Photos are first and scans are the last 6 images. Measures approximately 105 cm x 55 cm. Many thanks!

      Thanks. I know that these Imperial style flags / ensigns were also produced during WWII. They were required to be flown on a very specific list of special occassions. I thought, perhaps, this was one of those. Thanks a bunch for your time and input gents. I appreciate it.

      I kind of got the pilot badges to go along with my two issued pilot watches. One badge is from after the war probably soviet? But the first badge at top is the one I just added to the collection. These are hard to find the ones made of silver with makers marks are really hard to find so settled for this one that some pilot had tome craftsman make in the field out of zinc was told around 1944 maybe made in France.

      Here is a photo of the back of the Longines with issue marks military property with issue numbers and an issued Eterna with issue marks on case back from the Czech military. Sometimes on the Eterna they will also have cross cannon mark on the lugs of the case plus issue numbers on case back. You can look at these and think about these pilots who left their country to fly for the British and carry on the fight after their country was invaded by Germany.
