Solid metal construction on this very cool Luftschutz box. The inside lid has the full list of contents proper for a well stocked medical kit. Another interesting detail is the doctor's name and address stamp also on the inside of the lid. It is a good guess that this was put on before or during the war as the Hamburg address is Adolf Hitler Platz. The lock works just fine. There is a pull out handle on one side so the kit could be carried on the run by a fellow with only one free hand. Surf ...click for details

Défense Passive was the organization by Germans of French personnel to build bomb shelters and other such defensive infrastructure. Most French preferred not to collaborate with the German occupation but I imagine it was sort of hard to refuse to build a shelter on the street that one's family lives on. Interesting piece of occupation related history.

Interesting statue of a WWII German infantryman. Nice, conveniently small size good for desk top display at just over 14cm including the base. Detail is such that it won't win any major sculpture competitions but an interesting addition to a period display nonetheless. Low quality metal is typical of what was being used mid-war for non-military purposes.

Very nice example of the Japanese Red Cross of Merit. This is a truly beautiful medal with very detailed enamel work with no damage. The medal and the ribbon with roset are perfectly placed on a backing of black felt on the frame with which they were presented. The whole framed set comes in the original presentation box. The edge of the frame has just a couple of tiny ticks that really have to be searched for to locate. These are hard to find and would also be very easy to touch up. The box has ...click for details

Typical construction "Im Dienst" armband but the addition of the French flags makes all the difference. I haven't seen this variation before and an inspection of the inside makes it obvious that this is as-issued. These "Im Dienst" armbands were worn by non-uniform personnel assisting the military, usually in ancillary services. The French designation of this armband obviously spells out "collaborator" and whatever this person was doing for the Germans he probab ...click for details
