      New Zealand collector introduction.

      By Armygas · Posted

      Ted, Brilliant exhibit all around, very interesting to see the Communist items of the period, I don't know anyone else with that sort of thing.  Is the condensing canister for the MG a New Zealand made item?  If so was it bespoke made for guns or is it petrol related?  Cheers, Armygas

      WW2 Gas Mask?

      By Just an Old dude · Posted

      That's actually a "cutters mark" after spending 50 years in the textile industry.  And I am inclined to agree that your bag is a post war surplus store modification for civilian use.     OD

      what patch is this?

      By jumpship · Posted

      I'm pretty sure it is a 3rd Army patch. The 733rd FAB was a non-divisional asset.   These two examples are from this 733rd FAB website: http://www.733rd.org/     Dan

      WW2 Gas Mask?

      By Gear Fanatic · Posted

      Looks custom made, could be something made with extra parts by a surplus store post war, or best case it’s some sort of “rigger item” definitely not something that was factory made in my opinion.

      WW2 Gas Mask?

      By DeadDogClub · Posted

      Thank you!  That does fit more with the flap on looking up pics!   I am wondering if what I thought was a “7” in the inside flap corner is actually a British broad arrow mark?

      can't make out what patch this was in Army during Korean War 1950-53

      The style chevron being worn (small size gold on blue - for non-combatants) was worn from 1948 to 1951, so this photo dates from the first part of your grandfather’s Army service.

      WW2 M41 jacket and assault gas mask carrier

      By Andersen44 · Posted

      Here’s a couple of things I’ve picked up last week. This m41 jacket and this D-Day gas mask carrier. I’m putting together a 29th in div uniform and these were two big pieces I needed. The collar on the jacket is repaired. im not sure if that’s period done or post war. Does anyone have a guess?

      Tuscany is beautiful! My brother who currently lives in Switzerland just bought a house in Tuscany which he plans on moving to when he retires in the Fall. I look forward to visiting him there.

      Unknown Trench Knife

      By Manky bandage · Posted

      Well I did a bit of digging, and came across Nortex. A grabbed a few screenshots of various knives that to me have some similarities. Whilst obviously not a conclusive identification, I don't think its far off from its origins. Could it be Nortex Cutlery Co. in North Dallas? Either way, I love it.
