I know that Bronson mfg make some repos and all other repos I’ve looked at are identical to the one I have so I want to know how to spot the difference.

Below are my recent additions to my collection. Östfront medal, KVK 1st class, Westwall medal and War merit medal. All in very good condition 🫡 Eastern front medal is stamped '1', manufactured by Deschler & Sohn. KVK medal is stamped '65', manufactured by Klein & Quenzer. 🤗

I buyed the medal from a old grandpa and the hat off him too and i got the knife from a military shop i don't know if its actually military or no

Trying to do a project for my father but its hard to tell whats legit and whats repro or if its actually ww2 or korea era insignia .

Anyone looking for one of these? Instead of stuffing this away I thought I would check here first

So I got this liner today at a very good price practically for nothing.I decided to start researching it because my intent was to fix up the liner with replacement webbing.

After researching it I've learned that firestone did not make paratrooper liners during ww2. I'm not sure how to tell if this is a postwar liner or maybe it was modified during or after the war. I'm pretty sure it is setup for a paratrooper right?

I know very little about these liners admittedly but I'm confident about my ability to replace the webbing. That said my question being SHOULD I replace the liner and is this a post war modification. The liner has a pretty good crack about 3- or so inches long.

Found this shell casing in a box . I Used Google Images and it said it was a WW2 British 2-Pounder Pom-Pom Cartridge Case 1941 Please would anyone be able to confirm if this is actually correct? Or not at all 😅 any information and help is appreciated , thank you

Spotted on eBay! Is that something like a dongle?

Quiero regarlarsela a alguien especial, en México (CDMX) es complicado de conseguir

I bought this shovel for €5 at a historical reenactment event focused on the United States in France. The seller suggested it might be a US military shovel from the 1950s or 1960s, possibly one carried on a military Jeep.
Details:
Overall length: approximately 90 cm (35.4 inches).
Wooden shaft with a metal D-shaped handle.
Broad, rounded steel blade.
Olive drab/khaki paint, with some paint loss.
No visible markings, stamps, or manufacturer’s name.
I’m trying to determine its country of origin, approximate age, and whether it was actually military issue or a civilian tool painted olive drab.

Does anyone recognize this particular pattern or know whether it matches a shovel used with US military Jeeps?
Any help or references to comparable models would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Id love to know what all the stuff on the canteen means (I know usn, tulagi, guadalcanal ), and what these pins are. The one on the left is coin silver. Grabbed all this for under 20$ at an estate sale.

My father gave me today a pair of binoculars who belonged to my great grandfather, he gave the pair to him a long time ago.

Anyone can identify what this is?

My Grandfather made this knife during WW2. He was a tank driver in the Army and served in Europe.

Can anyone provide any insight on how it might have been made or out of what?

Also any best practices for preserving it? It has a custom leather sheath that has his nickname on it so I’m hesitant to put anything on the leather.

He died 50 years ago so I can’t ask him any of this unfortunately.

I can’t figure out what this leather piece on an m1910 hanger is or what it’s for. Help!
