I start working with RS20m This one I have here is different from the ones I have seen before. Look at the connector on the front. Is this a special version? Are these transmitters rare? LA6NCA

Nice late SA dagger by Tigerwerk Lauterjung & Co., Solingen, 1941. Just need a hanger now. 😺 Got it at a good price too. 1st one I have had since selling my last one in 1979.

I think I may have misspoke, Prussian War Aid medal more then likely. It's a 1 piece medal right? The center disc's are not separate pieces or are they?

Hello Mike, Thanks for the info on this medal....If I had not seen yours I wouldn't have found out.....Thanks! Great selection of medals and again thanks for showing us on MCN..... .Have a good weekend & Best to you. Ian

Hello Ian, yours looks like the Prussian Cross of Merit. See my avatar. They came in silver and gold.

Your best bet is '12 o clock high' forum. Some one there is bound to know. http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/ Rich

Hello, Lovely dagger and great images, price seems good......Thanks for showing us on MCN. Best to you.....Desert Rat

Hello Scott, Lovely helmet but as for originality regarding the date, sorry but I can't really help....Is there any markings inside that could give any indication of Maker, date etc. Good Luck and thanks for showing us on MCN. Best to you......Desert Rat

With caution would be the best advice. I am not sure where we stand now in terms of deactivation but over here on mainland Europe it is getting tighter. I should research what the law is first? Best Rich

Sorry I am late in an answer.....but looking at the comments......Sounds like a superb set/ tunic....Well Done and thanks for showing us on MCN Best to you......Ian

Start a new thread with it as the subject. They are found a lot where I am as we had a few PW camps near here (Bergen Belsen), Kev Greenhalgh that has just had to close his museum finds rather a lot of them at Fallingbostel It is an interesting area of research! Best Rich

Guys, new today, not sure who has signed it or exactly for which award it pertains. Issue reference bottom left. Rich

I have a SE499a with original antenna. I'm trying to get this on the air. Is there an electrical wiring diagram for this? I need information about what voltages it should have on the power socket. LA6NCA

Good point HVS...and you are fortunate to have one from a family member. Best to you......Desert Rat/ Ian

Rectangular tags with central perforations like this were also issued to British POWs in German camps - I have one from Stalag XVIII A with a 4 digit number on it. I believe the prisoner was required to sew it onto his outer clothes and wear at all times. I know the one I have is genuine as it came from a close family member. Is there a separate thread on the forum for those kinds of tags?

Just to Mention with all due respects.....It is down to the Field Marshall to use whatever image he wants....This from me is just a tester to hopefully get you in the mood as it's been a S......T year for all of us! Take care ALL of you...!!! Desert Rat

WOW....That's a beauty....well done in not only finding it but your excellent re-construction....Superb!! Best to you....ian

Hi Ian, I'm still quite new to collecting, and I don't know too much about my particular SMLE, but from what I've found online, i believe it to be a 1944 Lithgow, deactivated 1991 after becoming a sporter, I will attempt to convert it to its original form as much as possible.

Very Best Wishes to all my friends on MCN.....Waff, Bjorn, Dak, Tony, Arthal, Manu, Davejb, Lenny, Norrie....and all others, which sorry I have forgotten your MCN names....I hope you are all well and your families, lets see some of your new collectibles on MCN.... Thanks & You ALL..... Take Care! Desert Rat/ Ian
