I’ve had this m42 for a while now and I want to confirm if it’s ss or not. The guy I bought it from said it was, but I never believe what they say. There are remnants of a ss decal, but I can’t confirm if thats real or not. Also the lot is either 1051 or 1351 but I can’t tell. 1351 would line up with an ef66 sd ss helmet found in the German helmet vault list. What do y’all think? The 2nd slide shows the decal remnants (very very hard to tell) only an outline and a few white specs

The logo of the Sturmabteilung is branded into the front, and the baton also has several deep notches. I got it for 60 euros from an antique dealer.

I see this online for $200 and I’m wondering if yall think it’s authentic and if you think $200 is fair? If it’s real I’ll probably offer something like $150. Thanks in advance!

The guy on the far left is my great great grandfather, anyone recognize the uniform? I know he was an officer and that about it, I wanna know for genealogy stuff. I have got another pic of needed.

TUIA! :)

Already made a post about this but I'm going to include and extra photo so it's easier.
The guy on the far left of the first image is my great great grandfather, anyone recognize the uniform? his wedding photo is there if it's easier for anyone? I know he was an officer and that about it, my partner recons he was an officer of the Wehrmacht, but not entirely certain,

I wanna know for genealogy stuff.

Found a vendor named Josh he had a great collection for sale consisting of all kinds of grenades from WW1 and WW2 a lot of Austrian and German Items like Stick Grenades, Hand Grenades, Smoke Grenades, Mortar Shells, Egg Grenades, and even some Tellermines. I was looking at the Eggs and found this one that still has a little bit is stamping paint and he let me look at the cap and inside the female part of the threads was yellow paint! This Grenade was found in Russia. He was wanting 300 but I talked down to 200

I have had this picture for the longest time. Always wondered whether or not this were teenagers. Could be hitlerjugend but I don't know enough about what equipment they used to identify their uniforms.

Any observations or help would be welcome

Hello! I've been doing some ancestry and I have German ancestry and my great grandfather was part of the German military (even before WW2) and so my grandmother has a lot of old photographs, this text was written behind one this particular one.

Does anyone know what is written? It's in German and my grandmother lost all her German years ago. I'll be very grateful!

TUIA! :))

I think this is a mix of repop and maybe? original stuff, but I am no expert. The Narvik shields don't look original to me. And the general shoulderboards don't look Heer. Does anything else jump out as repop? I would be very grateful for any feedback.

Thought I’d share some new things I’ve bought. Please enjoy :)

hi guys, this is a photo of my great great grandfather. he was born in 1905 in berlin. i believe my oma told me that he was in the military, but it may have been some other form of service or entirely different. i’m not too sure, and have really struggled to find any genealogical records about this side of my family. anywho, i’d really appreciate it if someone could help me identify what these collar patches mean. tia :)
