All I can add is the scabbard is from an Italian bayonet.

Thanks for your input Mr Bushido. I thought that this was one of the manufactured NCO swords. Didn't make sense to make counterfeits of that sword. The ROI had to be minimal.

I've recently purchased a wonder piece of history from the family in the UK.  I have digital copies of some of his paperwork, and I'm trying to piece together his history or any information I can come up with.  Problem is, here in the US - it is difficult to get this information.  Any help would be appreciated.  He was in the 766th Flotilla.  He enlisted in 1942 and was discharged in 1946....     His information:   Nathaniel “Nobby” Carter 383646 Royal Navy 766th Landing Craft Flotilla HMS Collingwood HMS Arethusa (Normandy) HMS Victory   Thank you.   Purchased: US LF&C MK1 Knife, which the sailor traded for and acquired from a US soldier prior to the invasion of Sicily

Here are a couple.    

Got this from a house we’re working on. Thought it was one of those navy ceremonial things, but was told it’s an m1889 sword. I looked online but there were some differences, like the red ribbon thing and no logo thing on the grip. Any ideas?

I'm going to call this item a "Christmas tile" - for lack of better words! It measures approximately 6" x 6" square and weighs almost 10 ounces. It remains in excellent condition overall, despite some teeny-tiny chips in the corners and along one side - see pics for details. Created to commemorate this hard-fighting combat unit's third war Christmas (3. KRIEGSWEIHNACHT) in Bjelgorod 1941. Similar in concept to porcelain and/or china dinnerware (plates) that were decorated and given as Christmas gifts during the war, this glazed enamel tile also served that purpose. Surviving examples are rare indeed! $275 includes domestic postage (CONUS). I assume PayPal payment, but I also accept cash, personal checks, postal money-orders and Zelle.  

Thanks Leigh    I had never heard of this Story Until the Group turned up ++++ It was almost lost forever but rescued just prior to home demolition.   She had No Children, 1 Brother and married only once. Both Brother & Husband had passed prior to her passing at age 80. Her brother had 1 child a daughter but that line looks to have All passed as well . No Family Left to Remember, so I will do my best to keep the memory alive + OH BTW this will make a Great Movie One Day 

I don't see any numbers there either 

Welcome!

What you have there is a Royal Hospital Chelsea hat, Royal Hospital Chelsea, the British Army's Old Soldiers Home in London. The RH on the liner being for Royal Hospital, with the Royal Hospital Crest and maybe even the date it was made being faded away leaving ghosting it looks. Button has I would think an entwined monogram RHC.   Here's a 1948 Dated one on The Bay.   https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115965269699    

I would  imagine all these serving Austrian Soldiers, Officers included, had to do a lot of readjusting, even as simple as changing the way they stood at Attention, and of marching Deusches Heer way, Presenting Arms etc etc

Check the other end of the scabbard for the number. It should be on the end.
