Lots of insignia, a Kriegsmarine dagger? and various unknown items.

[KurtisD]

I have very little knowledge of these items so any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Hi Kurtis, welcome to the forum!

First off, all items are original.

It is always easiest to feature just one or two items at a time at it makes thing easier to explain

You have a mixture of German and British items which leads one to think these were the souvenirs of a British soldier.

You are correct it is indeed a KM dagger and hangers.

The rest of the German insignia is all Naval too:

Large sports vest eagle
Coastal Artillery shoulder strap for a private.
Narvik sheild award for taking part in the 1940 battle.
KM breast eagles
Female KM auxiliaries cuff band
KM Officers shoulder strap

Wehrmacht Merkbuch (appointment book)

British medals: War Medal, Defence Medal, France & Germany Star, 1939-45 Star.
British Troops in France formation signs (Red sheild with blue cross)


Cheers, Ade.

Very nice items but before Ade notices, put the dagger in the scabbard the right way quick

[Adrian Stevenson]

Now you have done it Dave. I did not notice this time. I won't sleep tonight fretting about it.

Cheers, Ade.

[KurtisD]

Dont worry, its in the right way now

[Adrian Stevenson]

Great!

I agree with Ade's observations "as per" (as he himself often says) However, he missed one:

British Army formation signs of Orkney and Shetland Defences, worn by the garrison up there, including coastal and AA artillery.
