      This is a first pattern RLB officers model, 1936/37.  Second pattern officers had two hanging rings, starting in 1938.  Enlisted models have different pommels, crossguards and scabbards.    The only "marking" that would identify it as either first or second pattern would be the missing grip emblem.    Lance

      Hi,   The cap is russian no doubt about it made in 2006 for army infantery.   The top insignia is not correct for me.   Here a picture of kadets https://media.gettyimages.com/id/57561109/photo/russia-celebrates-victory-day-in-moscow.jpg?s=2048x2048&w=gi&k=20&c=uRGw_36FMnokw9oTxNmPOVWLmb-prCpNarfK8VHIFbk=

      Hello, Since it is the holiday season, I thought I would post a couple of WWII German Christmas related items.  My pics are not the best, but it is too much work to dismantle my display to take these out.  It is like stacking cards carefully and then trying to pull one out without collapsing the rest.   Anyway, here is a rare mini-Christmas tree meant to be sent to soldiers on the front.  I have only seen one other, and it was without the box.  This one is in the original box.  I doubt it was ever mailed for whatever reason and simply forgotten. I was told it was found in an attic in Germany in more modern times.   At its base is a St Nicholas donation tinnie.  I believe it was for 1936 but do not remember exactly.  I thought they were neat items, especially the boxed tree.  The survivability of these must be really low.  Imagine this being displayed in a bunker or trench, then bothering to mail it back home if you were a soldier circa 1944.  I believe most of these just ended up buried in the trench or left behind in a bunker.   If anyone has any more WWII era German Christmas related items please feel free to add.   I wish you all a Merry Christmas and holiday season.  Cheers!
