The handle appears overpainted on one side which seems suspicious to me

Found more going through the mess of a room

Ist das den echt?

Brought this a few days ago on Vinted for £18. Very pleased with myself. It is missing the shoulder boards and is missing a button or 2 but other than that it is pretty nice. But sadly the tag was ripped out so I’m not sure what year it is.

Going through my late grandfather’s collection and found many WW1 & 2 German helmets. One helmet has the name “Herm Reinmann” on the liner but I can’t find anything about that name. and what I believe a M33 SS dagger, any information if real or not would be appreciated

Today I finally got around to taking a few more photos, so I’d like to present the next part of my collection. This time, the focus is on German rifle grenades from the Second World War. As always, all items shown are completely inert and comply with German law. For those interested, I’ve included some additional information below.

Picture 1: Overview of the entire collection. Unfortunately, the glass display case caused heavy reflections in the photos, so the remaining pictures were taken outside the cabinet.

Pictures 2 & 3: Early variant of the high-explosive rifle grenade for use against living targets. This model could be employed either as a rifle grenade or as a hand grenade.

Pictures 4 & 5: Later variant of the high-explosive rifle grenade, which could only be used as a rifle grenade.

Picture 6: Training version of the high-explosive rifle grenade, fitted with a smoke charge instead of an explosive filling.

Pictures 7 & 8: “Weitschuss” (“long-range”) variant of the high-explosive rifle grenade, with a maximum range of up to 500 metres (compared to roughly 300 metres for the standard model).

Picture 9: Special rifle grenade used to disperse propaganda leaflets.

Picture 10: Rifle grenade fitted with a magnesium flare attached to a parachute instead of an explosive charge, intended for battlefield illumination.

Picture 11: Early shaped-charge anti-tank rifle grenade with a penetration capability of approximately 40-50 mm of armour steel. Due to its limited effectiveness against newer tanks, it was quickly replaced by improved designs.

Pictures 12 & 13: Improved anti-tank rifle grenade with a penetration capability of up to 80 mm of armour steel.

Picture 14: Shaped-charge rifle grenade developed by the SS Weapons Academy in Brno, capable of penetrating up to 90 mm of armour steel.

Pictures 15-17: Second type of shaped-charge anti-tank rifle grenade developed by the SS Weapons Academy. This model was capable of penetrating up to 125 mm of armour steel and existed in two variants with either a pointed or hemispherical warhead.

Picture 18: Schießbecher (“shooting cup”) used to launch the various rifle grenades from the Karabiner 98k. Also visible on the left is one of the propelling cartridges with its wooden projectile.

Hope you find this interesting. As always, I’m happy to answer questions or provide additional photos.

Here is a truly remarkable example of a WWII German SS armband, complete with the original RZM tag still affixed inside. This is a textbook piece that captures a powerful and historic moment—if you're looking to add a significant relic to your collection, this is exactly what you need. An incredible artifact, personally brought home by one of our brave veterans, serving as a poignant reminder of history's complexity and the sacrifices made.

Found these unusual German military(?) trousers in Berlin in 2022 and I’m trying to identify them and estimate value.

The only label says:
MEISWINKEL, DORSTEN
US 4 C/01/15588/0046/6
Größe 48 8/66
8415 12 124 61 85

- Probably dated August 1966, German-made
- Blue-grey / pastel blue color
- Thick material (I would say PVC, leather would have developed a patina). Smooth surface with slight texture
- Fully lined inside with satin-like woven lining
- Asymmetrical front closure: zip on one side, two vertical buttons on the other
- Side waist adjustment straps with silver metal buckles
- No knee reinforcements
- No zippers at leg openings

I originally thought they might be military trousers, but now I’m wondering if they could be:
Bundesmarine/naval trousers or motorcycle
or some kind of German government/workwear issue. Condition is absolutely perfect it looks brand new

Does anyone recognize the model, branch, material, or approximate value?
I’ll attach photos thanks a lot x

I have recently bought a WW1 Iron Cross at a military fare, and everything seemed to check out for me (magnetic core, edges are made from 2 pieces, patina on the frame, maker's mark (FR=Friedländer and R, as you can see from the pictures)). However, this would be my very first iron cross and it seems to be in a great condition, so can someone confirm it's authenticity? Besides, what do you think this could be worth?

This is an amazing looking WW2 German SS Visor. The condition is fantastic, except for the plastic diamond on the inside of the visor have a piece missing, it is almost perfect. Thanks for taking a look. WE BUY MILITARIA - CONTACT US
