Read the description on the germanmilitaria.com SSm43. Clearly states insignia is replaced. Being that these two caps are basically identical, I'd be skeptical.

If the op has a palm smock in hand, he's sitting on a pile of money. Like new car money

Best way to get an ac41 is have your dad give it to you. He picked it up in the 60's. I probably shot 500 rounds through this thing when I was a kid. Sadly it had an ersatz paper belt with Luftwaffe buckle and a hardshell holster I destroyed playing war in the hood back in the day. The belt went...

Wonder how that panzer assault badge got broken in half. I like the 10th Armor embroidered wool patch too. That was very kind of your friend to give this lot to you.

That is awesome! Fingers crossed for good luck

Just to point it out. This GI is wearing the wool lined winter bibs (tanker bibs), over a winter combat jacket (tanker/armor jacket), then has a standard GI web pants waist belt wrapped around all this, with an MP44 pouch attached. One of my favs! And he's obviously got an M1 rifle at hand...

I guess this would make sense given the 17th was formed after these pics were taken, and in the West....

I've found this extremely interesting. Photo diary of 291 Div, mostly IR506. Of note, the pics from Volchov Forest in June 42 are sickening. Human suffering at it's worst. Also of note is lots of SS camo on army guys. I found it interesting the reverse of the 'Hell' sign is a note from the 17th...

One of my favorite pics....

Damn those are nice. Hard to find, hard to pay for.

Good to hear a good report from IMA. They get a bad rap regularly. I typically want to buy their front page weekly. They've got old army junk I really like (19th century stuff). Really nice pick up and hopefully I'll find the right Mg08/15 one of these days.

Great collection! Look at all the cool stuff one factory could manufacture. And to think they didn't have the EPA, OSHA, ISO, rain-water runoff, fire department licenses, and the slew of government agencies there to guide them along.

Infantry Assault Badge either sent home or brought back by James Chilton from Italy 1945. Appears unmarked.

Either sent home or brought back by James B. Chilton of the 87th Mountain Infantry in 1945 from Italy.

Definitely Sgt on the swastika. Awesome wall hanger and great pick up

Tell me about the m1907 sling. Is that an afterthought or did the T's get issued with USGI slings?

Very nice! Excellent work.

That is awesome. My wife gave me a card that was written by someone else. Not even sure she signed it. I really want an 88 round. One day. Hopefully

Whew. Glad I missed the initial call.

What a small, insignificant piece of gear, that was so important to the guys who used them. Something that's overlooked when digging through original pics of German soldiers of all branches. If one pays close attention, you see these regularly, from the beginning of the conflict to the very end...
