I am out and about tomorrow and there is a bloke that is within our patrol pattern, I know he has a lot of these sort of maps that were 'enclosures' to books. I can ask him what he has if you want. He may not be around until next week as he is quite ill and is spending Easter with his daughter, I am not sure if she is visiting him or the other way round. I have been banished to the attic flatlet thing that is here within our house/shop. She says she no longer wants to see my military rubbish!!! Good luck!! -
Wehrmacht Meter Instrument Symbol Meanings
kriegsfunker posted a topic in WW2 German Communications Accessories
All of us have equipment with volt and ampere-meters which have various symbols on the faces. I found a key which describes what they mean: -

Guys, It seems trade is out the window to get something of equal or fair value. I have looked at what is available on line, not a lot, there is the one in Vals link that is €165 or there abouts. Since this is in much better condition I will ask €180, if this is too much get in touch! Rich Guys, It seems trade is out the window to get something of equal or fair value.

Some Junk today from a house clearance
Richard Auld replied to Richard Auld's topic in Junk Shop Treasures
Sorry. I did not do the clearance personally, a pal did it and brought this lot to me, I gave him his asking price. Rich -

Richard Auld replied to ahrtal's topic in Period Photographs & Postcards
I have similar big size prints by other war artists, they would be available as a set in a large folder or sometimes a large book. With the books, sometimes people cut them up to frame them but then they usually have the page number on them too. Rich -
Val, That is the second of those type of conector in the middle, the other is clearly marked, the one on the left is also marked. the best piece is the pipe far left as that is with the original couloured paint. Rich

Ian, I will leave it as is and update both forums as it would be a balls ache to transfere all those posts, I haven't got any further with the crew, I was going to look at it from another perspective IE the UK losses or damages that night to try and establish what happened. The problem is always time!!!! Rich

Propaganda cards today.
Richard Auld replied to Richard Auld's topic in Period Photographs & Postcards
Mike, There were 46 1st war cards there as well, there are 21 of them that are fairly standard or not posted, if you want them you can have them for a small donation to the forum? I will do a general picture for you later. Rich -
Great Images Rich, and a bit of investigation to find the crew etc, I hope you can and please show us on MCN. Best to you Desert Rat/ Ian

Luftwaffe buckle (Maedicke made?) Update!
Desert Rat replied to TomChance's topic in German Belt Buckles
Hello Tom, Another one of your Superb items, looks brilliant! Thanks for showing us on MCN. Best wishes for 2019 Desert Rat/ Ian -
Originally, I assumed that the face of this buckle had been painted silver or even given some silver-colored, metallic finish. Thanks to Richard Auld, I now know that the original field blue paint was simply stripped and the face of this steel buckle was buffed (Sometimes I need somebody’s help in pointing out the obvious)! LOL! People like Rich are why I’m here. I want to learn! Anyway, there are no maker marks/dates on this buckle. Due to the style of the eagle, some details of the wreath and how the catch is mounted (Feet angled away from the wreath), I believe this may have been made by J.C. Maedicke but I would love to hear your thoughts! Thanks, Guys!
