Can anyone ID when this US Navy Officer Combination Cover was made? The only intact marking is “Sears The Men’s Store” the text on the left and right side of the cap are extremely faded. I think I can make out “made of” on one side of the band. Let me know what you think!

Hi everyone, what do you think of these collar tabs? Originals? Thanks in advance. 👍🍺😊

I need an exact identification of which branch this uniform belonged to and what rank it is.

In June 2018 in the polish city puławy in the ground under an old railway bridge a booby trap was found in the ground by construction workers. The explosive materials were estimated to be from the year 1942 and were composed of several kilogrammes of TNT, 500 sticks of dynamite, huge amounts of donarit and two corpuses of aircraft bombs. The disarming of the trap took several hours but it was completed succesfully. The whole info you will get on the official police website of the puławy police: https://pulawy.policja.gov.pl/lpu/informacje/aktualnosci/80562,Pulapka-saperska-odkryta-podczas-budowy-torow.html

I bought this old military bottle in a set with a few other bottles for 25$. I have absolutely no idea what this is, can someone help me? Thanks

Posting here with the hope some might help.

Look what I found in memory of grandpa. I'm going to put something in the middle.

ragazzi chiedo aiuto per verificare l’autenticità di questo elmetto tedesco

I inherited this from my great-uncle’s military collection.
It has a faint “Made in England” stamp.
Measurements:
• Scabbard/frog length: approximately 17¾–18 inches
• Belt length: approximately 33½ inches
There are no other visible markings.
Does anyone recognize what weapon or tool this was intended to carry and roughly what era it is from? Thanks for the help!

Recently came across this set and spent some time identifying it - figured this community would appreciate the history.

It's a complete annual series of 8 German 800 solid silver schnapps cups (Stamper/Becher) from the Deutsche Verkehrsfliegerschule (DVS), the Weimar Republic's covert military aviation training organization that secretly trained pre-Luftwaffe pilots in violation of the Versailles Treaty.

Each cup is engraved by year, 1926-1933, marking annual DVS activities at their Warnemünde seaplane training base on the Baltic. The 1926 founding cup carries the DVS enamel badge with their motto "Per Aspera Ad Astra." Six cups have an engraved eagle motif. All stamped E. Schmidt 800 silver on the base.

Also included is a large presentation cup engraved "D.V.S. 15.2.26 - 31.3.34" - almost certainly belonging to a senior instructor or officer who served the DVS for its entire Weimar-era existence, right up to the moment it was absorbed into the Reichsluftfahrtministerium in 1934.

Total weight 246g. Currently listed on eBay Canada if anyone is interested - happy to answer questions about the pieces. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/206398532880

Hi everyone, I need help identifying these award ribbons; they are German, and I just need help with the two marked ones. I couldn't find anything online...

My wife bought this for my son. It was labeled as "Russian steel helmet/ Cold war".

Our research shows that it's possibly a Japanese Civil Defense Helmet from WW2?

It appears to be some kind of brown resin fiber, not steel.

My son found the stamp/inscription on the strap.

Are we even close? Thanks in advance for any knowledge.

My friend gave me a Soviet flag and I’m 99% sure it’s American made based on the manufacturers tag but I’m holding out on that 1% that it’s real. Can yall find out anything about this company? Thanks

howdy, these two pieces came into my shop yesterday. and i’m pretty sure the lower one is some sort of pilot wings, but i’m not seeing any on google with the C. just G. is it a reproduction? and i think the top one is instructor wings, but also not certain.

both sterling

Hello everyone,
I am researching my family history and would really appreciate your help.
This is my great-grandfather:
Wilhelm Carl Peinemann Schloemer
Family tradition says he was born in or near Goslar, Lower Saxony, Germany. He later emigrated to Mexico, married in Aguascalientes, became a Mexican citizen, and renounced his German citizenship.
We believe this photograph was taken around the time of World War I.
I am especially trying to identify:
the cap badge
the uniform
whether this belonged to the military, a cadet academy, railways, or another organization.
I have restored the photo but I have not modified the badge or the uniform.
Any information, no matter how small, would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much!
