I'm sure there are a lot of collectors out that would pay good money for that Kapok vest. E-mail some militaria shops and may be they could trade for some thing more in to your personal taste? I'm sure you could easily get £1500/£2000 for that Kapok vest.

Very interesting group of pictures. Any pictures of the arm bands, as seen in the pictures?

A very brave man. May he Rest In Peace.

I've always said.. certain Religions/Races of people will never be friends. Flooding this Country with people with one certain Religious belief, will only cause tension with their long standing enemies. It's common sense and if you point this out? you are labeled a racist. And when it all kicks off? (and it will) what do you do? They won't listen.

I've been told this is a genuine unfinished (?) M42, quite rare in this state?

Any ideas on this helmet? A friend in work gave it to me for £10.. told me it was crap! I think it's a post war copy? Would be grateful for your thoughts.. 🤣

No problems Tony, I appreciate your views. I'm in no rush.

My lamp is in original colour. Any pictures of the one in black?

No, the catalogue picture is just to show how it was advertised. Regarding a restoration, the brittle panels are falling apart, once there gone, there gone. So, by trying to find a similar pattern to the original ones, I can at least preserve the original ones from further damage in the long term. I will only replace them IF a suitable type can be found.

It's a genuine period piece, as proven by the NSDAP catalogue advertisement.

The panels have a certain pattern on them, and as you can see they are in a very poor state. Hopefully, I can find a similar pattern and may be some how get that on some plastic card? Inside there is a small attachment to hold a candle?
