Unidentified Militaria - post your items here

"Pasla" won't work in your case.
The layer of rust seems to be too thick. You'd better try what Mannlicher said and I can backup his post.
Feruginol or some other rust removers will do the trick but wear protection.

ok,i won`t forget

If you are realy 12 years old , I recommend to do this with the help of your father or someone adult

ok

Hi from Italy,
This is my last acquisition and I need help to identify it !!!

I think this is an Artillery Officer Kepì, but I can't tell model, rank, unity and age (think it could be from 1922-27 era !) ...

Thank you !

Marco

This is a M.1930 kepi for an artillery (black piped red band and a specific button over the cockade) lieutenant-colonel (one large and two narrow horizontal gold laces). It was carried on the ceremonial dress uniform. This model was abolished, with all ceremonial and gala uniforms, in April 1941.

Thank you for your answer Kepi.

But ... You've said that it is a model 1930 kepi ... so, why it has a Ferndinand cypher badge ? I knew that Ferdinand rules Romania between 1922-1927 ...

Should I think that it's a fake ?

There is no mistake.

According to a royal decree of 12th of December 1927, officers should carry the royal monogram of the king who was reigning when the officer was promoted second-lieutenant. If your kepi was belonging to a lieutenant-colonel of late 1930s, then he might be appointed officer at the beginning of king Ferdinand’s reign. King Ferdinand ruled Romania from October 1914 till July 1927. So the cipher is correct.

What is this and from what period?

After the shape I think it was used for holding binoculars. The two straps seem to be synthetic pointing to a post war item but I don't know for sure.

Off-topic:

Take a look at this very interesting item: http://www.okazii.ro/catalog/2405599/obiec....html#div_photo , it is a filter for the Md 32 gas mask but it is in bad shape and I think that it was emptied, also the price is huge.

I'm wrong, it is not a binocular case, it's a decontamination kit, I have seen one for sale at an antic shop and under the cover was glued a piece of plastic with the instructions for the kit, explaining how to decontaminate and clean the rifle.

Now I'm 100% sure it's a post war item.

I recently acquired this Air Force Pilot Cadet visor cap. It is of coarse dark blue material visor band and gold rope below of military style. Behind this is a red ribbon material with yellow center stripe. On the visor cap insignia is a small insignia of the 1938-WW2 period insignias similar in construction as those for an enlisted man and is sewn with cotton thread with metal circle ornaments sewn to the insignia. It is a Pilots wing over an open school text book. Similar insignia of open textbooks are found in Romanian military badges. Is this hat Military or Civil ? For what Aviation School does this hat belong to ?
