Bavarian parade belt? Private purchase?
Richard Auld posted a topic in Got Mittens - German Belt Buckles
Guys, I know of there existance but this is a first for me. Odd roller buckle affair?! Belt stamped 100 for 100cm length. Trace of blue felt on inside of the belt leather. Missing one of the belt hooks! I am guessing Bavarian due to the text? Rich - Last week

Thank you mate...I try to domy best,as usual! -
Well Done Tony, I didn't read your account correctly, but you have bought it back from and old buyer, now back in your collection.....That's a miracle to something like this back once sold!!! Superb My Friend......IanB

Hey Tony can't wait to hold that in my hands. I sold my Q 64 a couple of months ago and I regret it. The feel of the Q's in the hands just feels different. Gonna keep my eye out for one. Best, Eric

Lovely Lid Tony, Looks superb, great for your collection,. Thanks for showing us on MCN. Very Best Wishes Mate Ian/ Desert Rat

Hello Tony, Yes you are right.....Scary.....But super items and great images. Just sold my WW1 German 1915 got a good price for it. Haven't seen any, anywhere like mine for 10 years, I would have much prefered for you to buy it...but money always a big crapper to find the money for items that we know are a - Very good bargain - for our collection or to sell on for a profit. Like all my French Resistance items, too many here to list....but I may start a new topic on them all with images. Still got the original French Resistance used/ found in the roof of a farmhouse that was in the Ardeche HQ (Sten Gun (MK2) I fired in France, but here in the UK now and all a deact now UK/EU 2018... but it all makes a superb display with the brassards/ armbands of all the hundreds of FFI/FTP/FTPF/ MUR/ FFL/ CDL/ SNCF/ brassards that were made/ fabricated for every Maquis unit across France....They ALL wanted to be seen (especially when they knew the invasion was coming) joined up and when their city, town - resau was liberated - on with the armbands. Best Wishes My Friend...&..Take Care IanB/ UK -
Its always nice to get one back that you owned in the past. Just got back my Late war Quist M40. nice textbook example, less the strap. Q66, pig skin liner. Rear apron marked.

Excellent @Manu Della Valle! One piece I am yet to acquire for my tropical display. The close up photos are nice! -
Looks great with the Helmet!

Mike, Nicely struck medals, I see this sort of thing a lot but as I have said not my area. I will keep my eyes open and if they are cheap and chearful I will take them in the future. Rich -
I am not an expert but that is Billy Basic stuff. Are you going to refund the poor person? Rich -
Thanks to you both for your comments, Rich...you are the expert.....Thanks Val....Brilliant idea to spend my money on, but there is NO swaztika on the front of her Alan's / knickers....probably worth a lot more if they had? Not to worry I sold it and made a profit Best wishes to you both...Ian

Instead of that pennant spend your money on this https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/9920733/hitler-eva-braun-knickers-auction/

Ian, I should take it back, it is very poor quality, see attached picture for areas that are inconsistant with period production. If it is from that time period then could have been made by a kid for example as a school project but not the story you have been sold. Note the swastika is not straight or centred on the white circle. Note the white circle is not circular.
-
Sorry Tony It dose not appear to have, I will open it up and look. Rich -
Hi Richard, Does it contain the Original power plug? If so, can you upload a picture of it. Gr. Tony
-
I see them now and again on the markets here without the masks, they tend to be full of nails and screws and such like. Straps would be a lucky find on a tin after 100plus years. I can keep my eyes open, one of my pals is liquidation his collection now. He has a a stick grenade from the first war but I am not sure what else he has in that area as it is not really my focus.

Very Nice Item Manu, Great images and good history with it, thanks for showing us on MCN. Best to you....Desert Rat/ Ian -
Hello Val, Well, I can only give the account from what the seller told me. It's impossible to try and find out who owned this armband, where hes was arrested, where sent to, if he lived or died etc etc etc.........????? Best to you....Ian
-
@Desert Rat- i mean story with previous owner, item background, seller etc.
-
I have the tin for it with no holes and no strap's .
