    BEEGROO

    Hi guys.

    That's the first day I've been here. As a veteran, I know what the war brought.

    This lot recently came out of a local estate sale and I thought the forum would appreciate seeing so many in one place at one time. I've only found two

    Question about this graffiti helmert I got for 20 bucks. I decided to take the risk, since 20 bucks isn't losing much and the helmet cover, if real could be worth much more.

    Hey Guys, I'm thinking about purchasing these HJ ID cards and then badges to go with them. My question is what badges would go with these IDs? Pictures

    Hello Everyone,

    Whilst searching through the internet I came across the following photographs of paintings dating from before 1939. Some of the photographs are in black and white, I wonder if they did in fact survive the war or not.

      Interesting. I cannot speculate on your question sir, but I would like to add that I'm glad there are others out there who appreciate these pieces like I do. Thumbs up all way!

      I only had a quick look - the "General Brygady Gustaw Paszkiewicz by Witold Mars " is in public collection in UK at the Moat Park Heritage Centre - together with couple of other paintings by W Mars, but this artist was serving in Free Polish Army units in UK - date of the painting suggests it was already made in UK, probably Scotland,
      I do not have time to check oother paintings from your list. if theywere in Poland during ww2 there are most likely scenarios: if they were in Warsaw during the uprising and in some public collection then- most likely destroyed during Uprising or burnt by Nazis just after. if esewhere then I am guessing by now they would be in public collection - most likely military museum -easy to find or somewhere among army properties on the wall - not easy to find. where did you get their photos? try to dig into the photo file metadata - if it simple copy of original digital photo then date it was made maybe copyright or author is written into data? your best beat is to call military iconography/ painting specialist at Muz WP, you could try at CAW but good luck with that as this institution is serving only its own needs for lat dozen years at least -standard excuse refurbishment etc. or call amjor auction hoses like DesaUnicum say you wanna spend serious money on those paintings - they will look for you, if you are serious about them start with looking where they were befor WW2, and check local museums collections that collect particular painters -I mean authors of each works... good luck.

      Hello, thanks for sharing it. That's a nice one, is it watercolor? If not, what medium? Thank you.
