Thank you!

I've been cleaning out my father-in-laws estate for several years now and every now and than come across some strange stuff. Just the other day we found this ring of sorts and have no idea what it...

You were indeed correct. It did turn out to be a Sam Browne belt. I just found a few pictures that ID'ed it for the most-part. I appreciate the help.

I appreciate the help and you are indeed correct. I just found a picture of a complete German belt and they do not attach the way I thought they did. With that said, I suppose it's back to the...

I admit, some better pictures would be helpful. I'll take a few tomorrow when I have more light. Oddly enough, the belt holes on this piece are set up like your average everyday belt. They are all in...

Those hooks on the end make me think German but I haven't the foggiest clue. I was unable to locate any stamps or makers marks. Any ideas?

Very interesting. Another mystery solved, for now. The help was highly appreciated.

That probably would have been a good idea eh? :) Here they are. It's not the nicest day out today but I had more light outside than I did in my office.

Hello All,

Yet another interesting find from the father-in-laws collection. I am not even 100% sure the shirt itself is military related but the label did give me that kind of vibe. Any ideas?...

lol. At this point in time, I think I'll stop going through the father-in-laws house. :)

Good Afternoon Landy,
.
I appreciate the help. I had an uncle fill me in about it last night and yes, it is inert and safe thank goodness. The inside is completely hollow. From what I was told,...

Very nice. From what I found, they were used by the RAF in WWII.

At first I thought it was a pintle of sorts. Here is another picture to give you a better idea on the size.

I appreciate the help. :) I'll have to do some more research of Schlueter and other shell manufacturers and further my helmet identification education.

Yet another oddity I found while cleaning out my father-in-laws estate. I tried to research the stamps but came up empty handed. Any ideas? 43550435494354843547

I am not to sure whether they are military related but if I had to guess, I'd say they were welding goggles.

I appreciate the help Chris and I believe you are indeed correct. I found it while cleaning out my father-in-laws estate. He collected Enfields as well as other older bolt action rifles so I am going...

I found this and have no idea what it is or what it goes to. All help is appreciated. Thanks!

I can only imagine how many of those this gadget has assisted down the drain over the course of its lifetime. :)

I appreciate the info! I will have to give them a call later.

While we are on the topic of Russian/Soviet stuff, what do you think this is? I found it mixed in with my father-in-laws other pins and badges.

From what I could find via Google, It looks like it may be a Tank/Artillery Officer parade cap.

Hahahahaha, here I was thinking military and it turns out to be a vintage toilet bowl float. :)

I picked this up at the flea market the other day, mainly because I thought it looked interesting. I was leaning towards a possible antique hand grenade shell of sorts but I was unable to find...

I was thinking the same thing. Makes me appreciate the helmet I have a little bit more. :)
