"Militaria - German, Canadian and Japanese"
Luftwaffe Flyers goggles. Missing the right side (left eye) lens...so, if you happen to know where one is, I would appreciate the lead.
Japanese Swords
WW2 RCAF Memorial Cross Group.
FO / D.E. Bennett /J12978
He was in 420 sqn killed 5 Mar 43 on an Op to Essen. Looks like they had a 2nd dickie on the trip as well. They were in a Wellington X with 6 people. The normal crew was 5. Their Wellington was the 1st type X lost on 420 sqn.
WW2 Mortar round, it's empty and has no fuse.
These are special occasion celluloid tealights, they have a thin cardboard base. Used on sideboards and around caskets with a small candle inside, not very safe, and that is why the were outlawed in Germany around 1936. I don't adhere to nor condone the Nazi ideology, I simply find the trophies that our heroic Canadian Soldiers brought back from that awful conflict.
This is a named Canadian Navy Helmet, I got it from the fellow it was issued to. He stated that when the HMCS Camrose was splinter camo'ed their helmets were as well.
German Helmet Gallery
I find and rescue medal groups as well. Lots have the silver component scrapped and melted. Such a shame, these guys fought and died for Canada and many family members simply discard their medals, uniforms, trophy bring-backs and gear.
A pair to a British Parliamentarian and Author. Two names, same fellow.
