That would be brilliant Lars. I would be interested to see any horse related items. I'm surprised that you don't find more horse equipment given how many horses the Wehrmacht used or is it that these items are not normally recovered as there is little or no interest in them?

Do you know what these dogs were used for? The 'rolls' on their backs are interesting
Unfortunately I don't, hopefully one of the others can let us know.
Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....

I think it because of lack of interest. I started collecting these items after i found the horse shoes. I dug deep to find them. I thought it was a helmet or something. I decided to keep them as good luck charm. After that i kept a pair of stirrups i found. Now i will keep all horse related items. I have earlier found lots of horse "stuff". There is lots of it out there of course.
Regards, Lars

I suppose the problem is that a rusty horse shoe is a rusty horse shoe and will never be as good as a helmet or gun! It does seem a shame though that despite all of the various countries and forces using a large number and variety animals (whether for work or as 'front line' pets) very little appears to remain in collections to represent their efforts during numerous wars.

Hi all. Grimebox suggested I post some pictures of this recently acquired 8 bird pigeon drop canister/carrier. It was given to me by someone who was going to toss it, so I had to save it! I didn't know what it was but I am very glad for this website and the many wonderful users on it who have helped answer my questions. I may be listing it for sale onEbay or something like that because I have limited space and this it outside the items I collect. I would love to keep it now that I know what it was used for. So So COOL!!
