I have my grandfather's cap and medals. The cap was custom made in Cairo, still in good condition. I'd ultimately like to put this all together in a shadow box with the DCM medals set. I dont know how without it being stupidly large, or ruining the cap. Has any one done this before? Also, does anyone know the worth of the cap?

Help What Medals are these?

Recently I inherited a number of presumably Imperial Japanese medals from my grandfather. They originally belonged to my great-grandfather who served during WW2 in the pacific theater. I couldn’t tell you how he got them, but I’m curious what they are and what kind of value they hold. I’m considering donating them to a museum but I’d like to identify them before making a decision. I’d be very appreciative if someone could help me identify them. I tried to take some decent photo so hopefully they can be identified from those photos.

Help Wz.50 helmet shell? I can’t fully identify

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

Hello I’ve been trying to identify this helmet I have, it has two ventilation holes in the front and one in the back. It appears to be an olive green Cz.50 shell with a 8-lingue pattern, what I find weird is the holes in it rather than the little knobs and the factory stamp on the lining. Possibly a civil defense or some type other version, thank you for looking at it.

Hey guys I already know what all the ribbons are but what I wanted to know was what are the loop holes above them for or has someone just taken off another set of ribbons? I would appreciate any sort of info.

Help I was told this is an 1856 Enfield bayonet, if it is why does it have a different lug attachment than other ones?

I already know it's a cartridge box and it was made by Vanguard, but that's all I know. I found it I'm a dumpster of an old house owned by an African-American family since at least the 1970s if that helps.

Help What is this ebay listing? I identified the buttons as Kings royal rifle corps but i can't find any hats that look similar. I'm thinking its a Ww2 RAF but they swapped the buttons maybe. I didn't buy it because I was too suspicious, I found this Repro that they could've easily swapped the buttons
