This is a M.1930 aiguillettes tag carried by staff or guard officers of the Romanian army. There were several variants of these tags and usually they were made in brass.

Makes you wonder where these items are being found doesn't it.

Posted by: Hummel July 13, 2007 02:18 pm
All this is found in Stalingrad.

My interpretation:
- a tag (for sure) from a romanian grave (?). The name from the tag: Gheorghe Popescu. No clue at all about the rank of this Gh. Popescu. "CTG 1942" means contingent 1942, that is the year this guy was drafted. "Prahova" is the county from were the guy was.
- a russian 15 kopeica, from 186... year kopeica being a subdivision of rubla. Q: still in use in 1940's?? Looks rather like a talisman, cos the hole made on it...
- the medal Cruciada impotriva comunismului (crusade against comunism), a very wide spread medal on the eastern front, given to romanian army.

I think the finder of these, and many other items is selling them on ebay US as ground-finds from Stalingrad.

That is what I mean when I said makes you wonder where these are found. Especially in Stalingrad. Have been issues with things coming out of Russia as not being legitimate ground-finds as we have seen on other forums and previous posts in the battlefield finds topic.

It is a thing from the Romanian uniform?

On the second tablet it is written in romanian:

"Post de unde scurte tip "..." " - short wave station type "..."
Generatorul de mana - hand generator

On the bottom side of the tablet it is written in english: Marconi's wireless telegraph...

It is a dog tag. R2R means most likely 2nd Rosiori Regiment, which was part of the 1st Cavalry Division (this makes sense if you found it in the Kletskaya area). I don't know what 282 and SP mean.

Could mean 1st Horse Artillery Regiment, which was part in the 1st Cavalry Division that was caught in the Stalingrad salient. However, it's just a guess.

You did not read it too?

Posted by: Alexei2102 May 19, 2010 11:59 am
What Denes was politely trying to explain is the fact that nobody is willing to compile a lenghty translation for a text that is firstly a private one, and secondly, with no interest in military research whatsoever.

Just my 02 cents on the matter,

Al

I tried to read but like Denes said,it's a private letter and the contain is hard to read and doen't give us any useful data.
Even with a prof. translation we will not understand much.

With all do respect, but I think you people miss the point here

Hummel, unearthed this letter presumably in the area around Stalingrad and wanted to know what it is written in the letter...
would you not do the same if you find a letter of a Soviet or German solder?

this is indeed a personal letter, and it has no important military value, but it is a letter of a Romanian solder which is presumed dead or captured, this is why we need to be careful and to be respectful, not to joke about it

to Hummel,
the letter belongs to
Cpt. C Rujani from 29th Artillery Regiment (Balți), 5th batallion, 14th Infantry Division ( Balți - moved to Iași in June 1940 when Bassarabia was occupied by Soviet Union)
Cpt. C Rujani was presumably from Dambovita county, Sura Ocniței ( http://www.maplandia.com/romania/dimbovita/gura-ocnitei/ )
and in the letter he settles a financial matter with a family member or close friend because he asks his father to clarify the problem if needed, in the end of the letter he greets his family and his father.

(if I make any mistakes please correct me)

This indeed could be a wing panel of an I.A.R. 80/81.
If I see it correctly, it's written MITRALIERE on the panel in red, which is consistent with the guess.

Great find! Was it found in Russia? If yes, where?

Hummel,
You are a grave digger!
You must burry the wing in it's place.
There may be dead pilots under it.
You must have contacted the romanian military mission in Kabul first.
There may be human remains on the paint.
You must have disturbed the daily life of milions of ants when you took this part out of the ground.
So should be ashamed of yourself and go to a monastery for 300 years.

Great fine anyway!

Keep digging! smile.gif

At page 4, the round object with a counterbalanced handle, that is the most unusual thing to find when searching a battlefield! It is an old fly fishing reel! An unique collectable item, might worth a lot for a fly fishing adicted guy, I know, I am also an angler and adicted to fly fishing but I do not collect such items.
