can you get a close up of it? could be a factory guard.

Can anyone identify the insignia on this helmet…WW2 Japanese, some sort of civil defense helmet? Thanks everyone!!

Thank you guys. Happy New Year.   Semper Fi.   Manny

Thanks, curious to know what the ribbon color blue means.

AS THE NAZI PARTY KEPT METICULOUS RECORDS, I WAS AMAZED THAT NAMES WERE NOT ASSOCIATED WITH AWARDING OF 'HONOR WEAPONS'

I believe that sometimes the Type A is referred to as the Wounds for Veterans, and the type B is for wounds or illness for Civil Service employees. Don't really know. Dave

Looks like a commemorative medal for a veteran’s group. 

This looks like a Franco Prussian war medal, anybody tell me what the ribbon signifies? Usually, the ribbons on those are just black, white and red, but this one has blue also.   Is the medal a veterans medal for serving in the Franco prussian war? I have yet to find a medal like this one with my research.

Will check out Wassell if I can find it.  Thanks Scott

Great info.  Just what I was looking for.... Richie and Sarge   I assume the purpose was to defend against charging cavalry....

Were you a police officer Sarge?

Any hope of matching this list of names to the Luftwaffe soldiers in the picture taken at the training center in Schlesig-Holstein in 1940?  Especially interested in the 3rd guy from the left as I'm almost sure that he is the photographer of my group of film negatives.  Only hint I have is he may be from Bremen and ended up in a Panzer School unit around 1943.
