Post WW2 Waidblatt sets sold by Eickhorn, Hubertus and Puma have leather sheaths sewn with green thread.
Thomas T. Wittmann's, # 39820 Deluxe Hunting Cutlass with Skinner - F. Dula (Unmarked) is clearly an Eickhorn / Hubertus product, still listed for sale and also has an Eickhorn / Hubertus leather sheath sewn with green thread.
The F. Dula set shown by Baz69 (Gary) on 11/30/2014 "F. Dula with a twist" page 2, Gary's 10th set, is noted as from a "German gun dealers' site, never used" and appears to have a genuine F. Dula leather sheath sewn with green thread.
Gary is the mint condition F. Dula leather sheath from the German gun dealer sewn with green thread and is it the only one?

A pennant for District 3 in Gau 7 of the Deutsche Rentenversicherung (German Pension Service). Could be a cut down arm band.

Mikee Yes I am sure you are right, that is the way it was. A very big deal, then, and now. But now, the big deal is, how much money does one have to spend on stuff. The more you spend and have, the bigger deal you are. Kind of sad, but true. That award is very impressive.

Gaspare, this is a dangerous and ugly ring, but I like it. I saw another one, exact the same...it was dated 1950. But the Gothic style started about the end of the seventies.So that wlll be the ring's date, I presume. The soldiers of WW 2 would probably loved it

Re: SS-Nordland Schnapps cup & ring

not shattered!!, but tuition pieces! , and Everyone has a box [hopefully small] of tuition pieces Really on the cup,,,you can go on the silver forums [one is listed on here on our site somewhere] and they'd tell you the same,,it would never be hallmarked on the upper rim like that.. Only reason I'm sure is because I've seen it before asked on the silver forums... There used to be at least 5 really good silver forums,,,but thru out the years now I'm pretty sure there are only the 2 good ones...............

Burgerschutzengilde, "Bruch 1864" e. V., Recklinghausen
C. Wetzel-20609
03/11/2024 05:35 PM
I just won an auction on the popular auction site for an old Schutzen medal. The medal is engraved " I Preis, Burgerschutzen, gilde, Bruch". The winning bid $31.24 + $13.50 S+H from Germany.
I believe it is from the German Imperial period, about 1880's to 1910's. The back of the lower part of the medal is marked 800 for silver. The top part of the medal (Crown) is probably brass.
The suspension device, a ribbon or pin with ribbon, is missing.
When I receive the medal, I will try to contact the Burgerschutzenguild "Bruch 1864" e. V. and ask for any information they can give about a possible date.

Kriegsmarine visor Hubner & Bollwitt, Hamburg 11
sellick8302@rogers.com
03/11/2024 03:04 PM
Hello I have what appears as a Kriegsmarine NCO visor it has a small sweatdiamond with brittle celluloid beneath marked Hubner and Bollwitt, Hamburg 11, Vorsetzen 52 the inside of the sweatband is lightly stamped Reserve Lazarett XA Schleswig 1942. Apparently that was a military hospital for POWs I dont understand the relationship of the Kriegsmarine to the hospital. Of course Hamburg was a large and important port during WW2 and Schleswig holstein is close to Hamburg. Assuming the cap is a Kriegsmarine cap I wonder if he was a naval personel assigned to the hospital in some capacity. The stamp appears period and authentic and woud not be a stamp that one would add to embellish plus the relationship to the Hamburg maker Any thoughts ???? cheers and best Ryan

Had gotten an email from a member saying,,, how could good reproduction rings and other nazi pieces be made and sent to the U.S. postwar since German law the swastika was completely outlawed and punishable with fines and even jail time!
- Well without going in to a whole big thing.. I knew a guy who got his wares from the dealer who the receipt was made out to and he was moving the stuff to NY....
At our local shows his associate would show up with some beautiful Silver wound badges,,General assault, PZ and Inf assault. All solid back .. Some in mint condition,,some he aged very well... So here is a receipt from 1959! And his partner had told me he had been ordering from this company for a while...
SO my friend,,,I know it was a law,,,but some law$ were made to be broken...Thanks , G.

IT is a very good copy!!
Remember, those are supposed to be oak leaf's around cartouche!
The detail isn't there. But the inside behind design is one of the things you usually want to see... There is also a fault at top in-between wings.... Close but no cigar!!
They do all sorts of things to age these rings. As mentioned by Benten,Powdered iron rubbed in for a while... A drop of mild acid here and there,,to actually burying in back yard years for a few months with chemicals!

Re: Africa Colonial Bayonet - Opinion???
C. Wetzel-20609

Description from German Colonial Uniforms, Bayonets of the South West African Schutztruppe:
"This is a privately purchased S71/84 bayonet with a beautifully engraved blade made for a veteran of the South West African Schutztruppe. It has no unit or date markings but has maker's mark in the form of a king and a knight over "WK&C" for Weyersberg, Kirschbaum and Company on the top of the blade on one side. The engravings are in cornflower blue for South West Africa and read "Zur Erinnerung an meine Dienstzeit"- (In memory of my service) with the Kaiser's head on one side and "Deutsch-Süd-West-Afrika" on the other. The scabbard is of black leather with nickel plated mounts and has a black patent leather frog. The knot is an officers sword knot ("Portepee") in the imperial colours, showing the original owner to be an officer or senior NCO (see Bayonet and Sword Knots)."

Re: Skull ring auction on Ratisbon's

I don't like rings stamped Alpacca.. IF you were to wear a alpacca ring for more than a couple hours your finger will turn blackish! I know there are period rings marked Alpacca but I really think they are just a lowr quality silver 750 or lower. Not wanting to stamp them as such they think Alpacca or German silber appears better to the buyer.. Just my opinion............Oh,, really don't like the look of this skull shown.......... The link doesn't bring you to a ring.. IF you could get some photos then all the better. Always give credit, example' Photos credit Such & Such auctions'. The Luftwaffe ring on Ratisbon's was sold too. I will create a new thread for it (link below). I always give source credits. A watermark is good for that. https://forum.germandaggers.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=360993#Post360993
