Unidentified Militaria - post your items here

This visor Air Force Cadet School hat was aquired from the same estate as the Captains uniform that I posted in WW2 Uniforms.

What period????

Looks like mid-1930's period with the metal rank stripes. I am not familiar with the insignia below the rank stripes. What color is the shoulder board cloth ?

They are not mine. I forgot to put the source. They are from www.okazii.ro

I can not tell if this is the letter "E" or perhaps something else ? First time I have seen this insignia.

I took the liberty to high-lighted the pictures, sure looks like "E".

I never saw this badge / cipher. In my opinion it’s not a “E” because, usually the letters / monograms on the epaulettes and shoulder boards were fastened with the upper part towards the collar. So, it might be two affronted letters “L” (?) or another symbol.

I don’t know what it’s the real colour of the shoulder boards back ground: light-blue or grey (some mountain troops battalion)? Unfortunately the buttons are missing and they could be another indication about the origin.

Perhaps it is not the letter "E" but read like this as a cypher insignia ?

Any ideea???? The seller says it's romanian???

It might be Romanian but I doubt its military issued. The ones used in the independece war were made from galanised tin and were bigger.

What is it made of?

I don't know I will ask the seller and when he respondes I will tell you.

Off topic.

This is 40 ron, Is it worthed??

I personally wouldn’t pay so much for an Austrian canteen in that state a lot of the enamel is chipped, ask the seller for pictures of the back be sure the chipping isn't worse. In that state the correct price would be 20 or less, that’s my opinion.

Thanks for the help mihnea. I wanted to by it but if you say so I will not buy and I will wait to find one in a better state.

I found this belt while I was searching through the atik of my grandmother, she said it's military and that it belonged to my grandfather. I don't know for shure if it's military or not. What do you think????
