I'm looking to buy a new german helmet so the last few days I've been comparing websites, helmets and sellers. The price I was looking is about 600-1000 (max.) so I found quite good items for this range, but the other day i found this one that looks like a camouflage sand for this range price which surprised me because as far as I know these type of helmets tend to cost from 1800€ to 3500€.

The seller is a trusted guy but I'm quite unsure about the paint, he says: "WH (Heer) or Kriegsmarine/SS M35 Single Decal Camouflaged Combat Helmet (Stahlhelm M35) - 'Q64' marked helmet with lot number '1138', complete with liner. This helmet is showing a nice (field)grey camouflage!".

I asked him if he knows what type of camouflage is this but till now i didn't get answered. I attached some photos in case any of you could help me.

I want to show you all my newest purchase, a complete Volkspolizei uniform (except for the shirt). The jacket is a m52-1, the trousers m52 and the cap is size 56. I was never really interested in tunics outside the army like we all think, but I saw many people DDR collections and how they displayed their VoPo uniforms and I found them really beautiful, so I bought this one for a quiet good price and I couldn't resist.

However, does anyone by any chance know what they mean or can identify the ribbon bars on the chest?

Since I started looking and collecting militaria I have seen too many things, from relics to spectacular items perfectly preserved and from good or bad replicas to fake items for just scam people. But when I saw this today I just asked why? Why would someone pay 550€ + shipping for a repro? But maybe the question is no who will pay for this, maybe the question is why would someone put this price for this item. Not a complete uniform, not even a refurbished relic. Maybe I'm wrong and a good repro value this, but from my point of view this is just a new helmet that probably costs 125€ (from many web stores) with hand made work (value depends on how you see it) but I've seen M38 relics or bad and very bad condition for this price and I think that at least they are an original helmet with their own history.

​

Maybe I'm exaggerating but I just don't see what these sellers expect to be paid for repros like this. What do you think?

Hello everyone, I was looking Austro-Hungarian uniforms till I saw this one, but I was not able to identify which period and regiment this one was. I don't even know if it's an original piece, so if you guys could help me, I would appreciate it.

Hello everyone,

I'm interested in acquiring this tunic, but it doesn't say any information except for being an officer tunic. If you could help me, I would appreciate it.

I found this place a long time ago, and I wasn't sure about their legitimacy. The thing is that they have a quite interesting collection of signs and autographs of soldiers and generals, some of them very famous. So my question is if, by the way, someone has any experience with these website products and legitimacy about their autographs.
