Two of my relic Panzerfausts. The one with paint left was found in a Gebirgsjäger capitulationsite in Northern Norway and the other one was dug out in the Kurland Kessel.

Here is some pics of two lovely British combat helmets. Until recently they had laid forgotten in a barn since sometime after the fighting of Norway in April-May 1940. 
One of them has "J.E" carved into the brim. Both stamped "1939".

When one is letting the collecting borderline  hoarding one can quicly accumulate stacks of boxes filled with relics. That way no one ever gets to see or touch them, so one day I was adding more relics to the piles I decided to begin making displays of them so that they can be shown rather than being forgotten about. Making displays of relics can also be a way to sneak some war memoribila into spaces sometimes controlled by the better half.
​Here is some of what I ve made so far, and more will be added as I make them:)
Relics placed on wooden plinths or bases:
​Red Army mortar tail fins found in Kurland:

Shotglasses and candleholders made from Leuchtpistole signals dug out on a Gebirgsjäger capitulation site the last two weeks. One was engraved, it reads "Pfingsten 1945 Prost". Great little finds :)

Last week I was digging in a Heer / Org.Todt camp and found the back part of a vehicles Notek lght. It was very rusted but a few baths in oxalic acid revealed some of the original paint. In a barn a few years ago I had ound the front on a Notek light so I put them both together. I might put a couple of lights inside it and have it by the workbench:)

T.Mi.43 Cut Away

tellermine sectioned t.mi.43 pilz diagram anti tank mine panzer ww2 battlefield relic pioneer hobbyhistorica ynge sjødin militaria
I had this relic T.Mi.43 laying around, and a part of it was quite damaged. I decided to make something kool with it rather than get rid of it so I made it into a sectioned mine. It was cut with a angle grinder and stripped of paint. Next I filled some deep pitting with car body filler,sanded it smooth and attached the bottom part. When the glue had cured I primed the thing and then filled the insides with some foam and then painted it the colors I wanted. I copied the text from a complete mine and cut a stencil which I then sprayed onto the cut-away piece.
Hope you like it :)

From my collection here is three heavily battledamaged beltbuckles. We can only imagine what caused these damages. The HJ and Heer buckle were found in the Kurland Kessel, while the SS buckle found in SS Nord positions in Karelia. None of the buckles shown were found with soldiers remains.

The heavily damaged HJ buckle might be a result from a MG salvo.

Seems like the SS buckle was near to a detonation.

A flattened Heer buckle, could it have been ran over by a tank,or prehaps it is the result of a detonation.
