Got at a recycled bookstore for $15, not sure what to look for to authenticate but I thought it would be cool to flip through. The dates are tripping me up though, if there is any way to authenticate it please let me know!

I've had this thing for about 20 years and it was given to me by a friend who collects WWII memorabilia. I was looking to see if anyone could help me identify this shell. Weighs about 16 lbs.

Hi, I was wondering if somebody could help me identify this Iron Cross' maker. It does not have any maker's mark, but I have heard, that some simply did not have them, but can be identified nonetheless... However, I am not knowledgeable enough to do that. :/ And what would be a good price as I am looking to sell it.

Any help is appreciated. :)

Help Help identifying a Cold War relic: 1960s U.A.R. (United Arab Republic) Leather Trench Coat. Z. Philibos

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I recently found this incredibly heavy leather trench coat and I'm trying to find out more about its history and potential value.

The tag says "Z. PHILIBOS CO. MADE IN U.A.R.". Since the United Arab Republic (the union between Egypt and Syria) existed only between 1958 and 1971, this puts the coat right in the middle of the Cold War era.

The cut is very monumental, military/diplomatic style. Does anyone have any information on the manufacturer or know who would have been issued such a heavy leather coat in the Middle East during that time? Military officers? Government officials?

Any help with history or valuation would be greatly appreciated!

I purchased these items from an estate sale recently. All of the books, art, photo albums, ext. were German from about 1950 and earlier. I usually stay away from medals because they are so commonly faked, but I figured this one might have a higher chance of being legit since the entire estate seemed to be from a German family. Once I started researching it more I think it’s fake but I would love to be wrong. Would anyone be able to provide any insight?

Help Picked these up from goodwill the other day. Just interested in any info on them. Thanks.
