Hi, Can somebody tell me if it is original or not? There is no manufacturer marking on the ring of the ribbon, it is 3 pice construction, there is visible seam all around the cross, black core is magnetic, numbers and swastika have nice sharp edges and they look correct to me. Ribbon under UV light doesnt glow like modern material (still looks almost to new, idk). Thanks for help and have a nice day👍

I just picked this flag up what do you all think?
Found this officer's visor cap lurking in in a bin of Visor Caps.
Does anybody know what service this is for? I definitely did not pay $495 for it, nor do I remember even purchasing it.
Thank you to folks who reply!
Has anyone seen a mine marker this colour before? i’m assuming it’s either faded yellow or never was yellow to begin with.
Hi, this has come from a militaria auction house and wondering about authenticity here is the descriprion from the auction house:
Scarce Italian Made Waffen-SS Officers M-43 Field Cap, interesting example produced in a lightweight summer type cloth with two button front. Thin twist cord piping to the crown and original bevo two piece skull and eagle cap insignia. To the side is Waffen-SS pattern embroidered edelweiss insignia. Interior of the cap has typical Italian style cloth lining that you often find in the Dachau made M-43 field caps. Fading and wear to the cloth, damage to the fibre peak. Interesting to note that the piping on the crown stops at the point of the eagle. A very interesting worn field cap for a Waffen-SS officer.
I was wondering if this was a pre or post war flag, assuming since the condition is so nice it's gotta be post ? The other stuff I don't think is much? If anything worth mentioning...I'm all ears!
Ps. Was told with the flag something with the stitching puts it at or before war, but could be full of sh*t. TIA!
Uniform removed, SSVT officers rune tab, number removed per regulations in 1939/40 when the waffen SS was formed. Unfortunately the infamous moth, destroyer of fabric has eaten away where the number was an were not able to see any remnants of a number.
Or are they all replicas? Was given to them as a gift to collect. The person who gave them to me didnt know if they were real or fake and had been given them like 30 years ago.
I am thrilled to share with you this breathtaking WW2 German Como Medic Helmet that I had the incredible fortune to acquire at the La Gleize Historica Militaria Show this year. I was over the moon when I found this piece, and even more so because I bought it from my dear friend Ken Niewiarowicz at the event. Seeing him there truly made it all the more special.
This helmet is an authentic M40, complete with the original liner and chinstrap, embodying a tangible connection to history. What truly blew me away is how much of its original white camo still clings to its surface—an extraordinary remnant of its past. The bright red cross for medic is boldly displayed on the front, a striking symbol of service and sacrifice.
This is an incredible piece of history, preserved in remarkable condition. It’s one of the finest treasures I’ve brought home from the show, and I can't wait to share more of my finds with you later. Thanks for watching.
19 and have been collecting seriously for about 3 years, and collecting in general for a while longer than that
What do you guys think of this SA dagger, real or fake?
Thanks!!
Guy is selling for 250$ not sure if it’s been modified with the decal or anything I assume not but still new to the scene of collecting so any info helps, thank you in advance!
Found these for about 150 total. A really good score for everything. The armband is a bevo also. Plus I know the paratrooper wings are the novelty skull macVsog wings, but they are originals. So im pretty happy with them.
I bought this armband about 4 1/2 years ago in Germany when I was stationed there. I can’t find any information online regarding it, leading me to believe this is a fake. Does anyone have more information as to what I have?
