One of my friends was searching his passed away grandfathers attic and he came across a german helmet. He called me, and i knew it was an origenal luftwaffe helmet. Upon arrival in Mol, it indeed was a luftwaffe helmet! M 42 model to be exact with a single decal. We already found a buyer in 1 hour (as he needed the money to replace his worn car, and his grandfather left in his will that if he could do whatever with his stuff what he wants) and he got 1500 euro for it! Jesus christ...

And i recieved 50 euro for it, for just searching a bit.

Really? are you sure? retail for great luftwaffe helmet with 1 decal is about 500 to 800 euro to my knowledge.

Luftwaffe Trench Art - A ashtray made by my grandfather during the war.
https://goo.gl/photos/PJvAML3q5HE2P45g6

The bottom seems to be made from the shell casing of a 88mm flak round, the center part likely was a casing for 20mm projectiles, since there is a 20mm projectile attached to the side with a AZ5045 impact fuse on top. The darkened yellow color likely means it´s HE, which I think all had tracers.
Don´t know what the planes are supposed to be though.

The stamp on the bottom of the flak shell says (clockwise from top) "59 - 1936 - Wa A2.38 (eagle icon) 6347 - P94"
Der Motor des Panzers ist ebenso seine Waffe wie die Kanone.

Recently came across some hydrophilic gauze from the Belgian Army dated 1940. Is this worth anything, or is it just a collectors piece that you keep in some desk?

Rare enough for me to have never seen in my life while i live in Belgium. I don't think there are many collectors of Belgian gear outside of Belgium let alone Belgian medical gear, cool to have, rare but little value. I guess the same or a bit more then the price of the German, British, French and American bandages, between 10 and 20 euro maybe.
