Unidentified Militaria - post your items here

I own the same bandoleer, and the seller told me that is a chinese bandoleer for the SKS rifle.

You could try the image attachment guide.

Thank you.

I did a bit of "googling", and, as the following picture testifies, you were absolutely right, it is in fact a chinese manufactured bandoleer for 7.62x39 strippers. Apparently, it can hold up to 200 rounds.



The image is courtesy of this site.

Later edit: It apears this type of bandoleer was also in use with the Viet Cong. As such, it fits in nicely with my militaria collection dating from the Vietnam War. Again, thank you for clearing out what this "mystery object" was.

Many thanks for your instruction !!!











And now, these are my answers:

What is the age of the busby ?
What are rank and unity ?
Which kind of fur have been used to made it ?

Thank you very much !!!

Take a look into the thread on Roşiori Lance Pennant Colors and Designs. Light blue was the colour of the 4th Roşiori Regiment.

And now, these are my answers:

What is the age of the busby ?
Model 1934 (1934-1940)

What are rank and unity ?
Junior Officer 4th Roshiori Cavalry Regiment

Which kind of fur have been used to made it ?
I don't know. Looks like Fox.

This model of busby was introduced by the Royal Decree Nr. 1885 of 11th June 1923 for officers of the 4th and 9th Rosiori regiments and cavalry generals. The busby was generalized for all cavalry officers for ceremonial dress in 1930, and indeed, confirmed by the regulation of 1934. As other ceremonial and gala uniforms, this head gear was carried until April 1941.
According the regulation, the busby should be made in opossum or rabbit fur.
I agree that the busbby belonged to an officer of the 4th Rosiori Regiment, because the colour of the flap is light-blue.

The only thing I see missing on this busby is the front Cypher badge which was worn below the rosette.

Do you think it's possible to find this badge ?

What do you think about this ash tray? Is it russian or german ww1?

No ideea ?????

I can tell you it's an old ashtray
More than that...I don't think it's military.

Intresting object enyway prabably depicting the solider going to war and leaving the woman alone, verry dramatic moment, that inspired the artist to make this image on the ashtray.
