Were there really MP40 submachine guns that were painted by soldiers in such a design?

Rare SS Banner

A rare example of an SS banner (pre-1933) I believe before the “Meine Ehre Heisst Treue” motto was adopted. Says : “Deine Ehre Heisst Treue”, which was the direct quote from AH after the Stennes revolt.

Advice buying SS Dagger

0 Upvotes

I'm looking to get an SS dagger for my wall but real ones are pricey. Should I aim for a top-tier reproduction or a "franken dagger" made of cheaper parts? What should I look for, what's a good price range, and where can I buy one? Any advice is appreciated! 🙏 #militaria #dagger

I got ahold of this pin and I have no idea what it is. Well, I technically know what it is. It’s a dvg westmark lotr badge. Only issue is that as far as I’m aware, these badges only exist with a black boarder and not a red one like mine. (Last photo is what they are known to look like)

I can’t find any information of a red one anywhere. I’ve seen maybe one other photo online but didn’t give me any information on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Does anyone else collect Bundeswehr surplus? 🇩🇪
I’m interested in seeing other people’s Bundeswehr collections, especially West German-era gear. I’d also be interested in hearing what pieces people consider essential or particularly interesting.

Is €79.99 a reasonable price for this reproduction? My budget isn't that high anyway.

Back of the buckle reads Ges Gesch.
I found out the meaning on a search engine. AI says Ges Gesch Is not used anymore.
It looks possibly military the buckle was inherited from my father he collected military items from all over the world.

Help Identifying

Hello Everyone! I’m new to the community and didn’t know where else to post this but I came across this Ski-Cap on marketplace and I’m absolutely stuck on what country made this exact one and the years they were produced. I have studied WW2 History for a long time and equipment but this one has me stumped! Any help would be also greatly appreciated! The lady says her husband has been collecting for years so I’m leaning maybe a post war made ski cap for Austria? I included the inside as well since you can see the company inside. It appears to be made of HBT and has Post war buttons.
