Here are a few Panzerfaust tubes from my collection. 
The first pair is a Panzerfaust Klein and a Panzerfaust 30. Both found in Northern Norway. These cleaned up beautifully and their sights are working. Both are painted in camo. The Klein is painted dark brown/grey with three panzeryellow squares. The 30 is painted dark green and has the yellow sprayed mainly on the upper side of the tube and around the firing mechanism.

The other three were found on the battlefields of Kurland, Latvia and have some nice battledamages. They are two Panzerfaust 30s and one Klein.

Two Wooden Boxes

hobbyhistorica yngve sjødin yngve sjodin inka holmes ww2 trench art pow art soviet pow polarbahn northern norway may 1945 liberation of war prisoners
A few days ago I saw an add in a sales forum here in Norway and instantly bought the item. It was a small POW art box. I was amazed to see this item because a few years ago when I worked at the garbage dump I one morning rescued a POW art wooden box from the container, and they must have been made by the same guy. The one I bought came out from the neighbour town and is a bit smaller and more well kept. In the spring and early summer of 1945 Soviet POWs was waiting to be sent back to Soviet and they produced souvenirs and items like these to offer to the local population either as a trade for food etc or as a "thank you" to people who had risked their life helping the POWs.
​ I am a bit gobsmacked to have these two boxes in front of me now and they ll find their place in a display cabinet soon.

M40 SD Camo

hobbyhistorica ww2 german camo helmet gebirgsjäger litza front karelia  metal detecting relic hunting history hunter battlefield archaeology norsk rustjegerforbund narvik 1940
Earlier this autumn I found three German helmets. The first one had been in a fire and didn`t have much paint left under the rust. With this helmet, the second one I found, I was a bit luckier. After a nice and long bath in oxalic acid I wasn`t able to get off more rust , but most of it had come off and revealed original paint. It was camo painted with black lines going across it, and it looks like it at some point had a Heer decal. It is stamped ET64, the other stamp is not possible to read.

ww2 battlefield relic ostmedaille hoard find german awards order of the frozen flesh eastern front medal hobbyhistorica inka yngve sjødin
I got these two "Ostmeidallen" with me back home from Latvia. They are part of a hoard find of unissued medals. I got one which was still stuck inside the paper bag, and I ll keep it like it, and the other one was free from its bag and can be displayed in a nice way. Great little finds which I am thrilled about.

Red Army Propaganda Leaflets

1/31/2019

Picture
I went through some papers my Grandma had given me and discovered these two interesting leaflets. Both dropped over German forces in or around Kirkenes by the Red Army. The first declares that Finland has laid down their arms against Soviet and will turn against the Germans. The other one contains three paragrahs from the Red Army High Command about prisoner treatment. Both leaflets would give the German soldier free passage to the back of the front where a comfortable prison camp was waiting.

ww2 relic rg 42 grenade red army kurland kessel battlefield relic encapsulated in wood metal detecting hobbyhistorica
Here is a Red Army RG-42 hand grenade attached to a piece of wood, found on the old battlefields of Kurland by a friend and he sent me it after it had been emptied. I cleaned it up and preserved it. The wood got treated with some oils to prevent it to deteriorate further. I simply love pieces of relics like this and Im considering having the whole thing cast into clear resin:)
