SMMB = Spitalul Militar Municipal Bucuresti (Mnicipal Military Hospital Bucharest). But this is only a hunch, not a sure thing.

It seems to be a Masonic ceremonial sword as it has the typical symbols: the triangle and the compasses. The letters “AR” could be the initials of the Masonic lodge, of the rank inside the lodge or of the owner. |

I do not beleive this to be Masonic. There is no triangle or compass here. It is simply a scriptive cypher letters of "A.R." in a wreath. The sword is of the highest manufatured quality from Solingen Germany with the new cypher version of King Carol on the blade. Circa late 1930's. |

The two pictures are very small; some bigger ones would help, and in the picture with wreath is very hard to distinguish the exact shape of the star or letters.

I know this is not a romanian Item, but nobody I asked seems to know what it is, so i thought I might give it a shot here as well:
Some time ago, a friend of mine form the US gave me this strange bandoleer since he had heard I collect militaria and he had no acutual use for it. He himself had found it at a yard sale, and bought if for about $5. Anyway, here it is: ![]() The buttons are made of hard wood, and look brand new, and while there is a sign of light wear in the fabric, especially around bukles, overall, the thing is in great shape. ![]() The lower part of the back side, as well as the inside of the pockets are made from a kind of rubbery membrane. The rest seems to be some kind of cotton fabric, not unlike that seen in american WW2 bandoleers. ![]() I think this might be a civillian bandoleer, but there are some strange, military style markings on it - first, a "5" and "7", stamped in blue ink on the inside of the rightmost pocket. The pockets are just wide enough to allow two 5 round 30-06 strippers to be placed side by side, but at 12cm, they seem abnormally deep. On the inside of each pocket flap, there number "524" is stenciled in white paint. ![]() Also on the outside of the rightmost pocket, there is another, almost unreadable number. I belive it to be "523(8?, 9?)0000". So, any ideas what this might be? This post has been edited by Wings_of_wrath on February 14, 2006 11:27 pm |
