    And something a little more traditional ; a very nice condition cardboard container for a Le FH18 10.5cm charge...

    Erich , of course the Luftwaffe bordkompass is for my birthday right? I really need one I tried a GPS and it doesn't work, Mrs Skipper as co-pilot is worse. :D

    Martin I'll read you great tourist book when Ihave Erich's compass.


    ps: If I tell you what I picked last Saturday for the price of a fast food meal, you'd go mad. It starts with a P and ends with a E and was used used by the Germans in 1870 and until 1916 when it was replaced by the Stahlhelm :p . Pictures will follow after cleaning (it's in poor condition and was left in an attic for over a century)

    ok, what about a 1943-1944 student card from Paris? I like to think the kid took part in the 1944 events.

    Nice, Darren - that is Richard Ehrhardt Lederwarenfabrik of Poessneck. They made various items for the Wehrmacht, including P.08 'Luger' holsters and helmet chinstraps, etc.

    You have a nice, wartime-manufacture Tornister 34 there. Good find ! :cool:
