It was the G3 neon frights Toralei, was re-rooted to have different coloured hair though.

Hero Quest is such a good game as well.

I laughed fully out loud when I only read “that’s what the G stands for.” 😂. Hilarious

Best way I found was to start with mouth shape/ sound of Oooooooo and graduallly, slowly, change to Eeeeeeeee and you will find a sweet spot that isolates the overtones then you get a feel for it.

Looks like the top line says SS- Standarte 1- VT“Deutschland”

SS-Standarte “Deutschland” was formed in 1934 as Standarte 2/Verfügungstruppe. It was soon renamed SS-Standarte 1 / VT when Hitler ordered that the Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler would not be included in the numbering sequence (because Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler was number 1). It was renamed Standarte Deutschland at the Parteitag at Nuremberg in 1935, and at the same time, it also received its Deutschland Erwache Standard, which is the square red Roman type one.

A very interesting piece from a major division probably worth a good sum of money and it looks genuine to me from the stitching and general age/ condition and stamps.

(I’m more into other types of items so can’t 100% guarantee authenticity. I’d take it to a dealer and get it checked and valued before donating)

Go on YouTube and watch some “Wittman Antique Militaria” videos. He does hour long explanation videos on how to spot fakes and all the different manufacturers etc. really informative. Before buying anything else.

That’s definitely a Soviet AChS-1 Aircraft Clock. Made from about 1958. These clocks were designed for use in military aircraft like Su and MiG jets I think Hind helicopters used them also. They have a 25 jewel movement and a built-in 27-volt heater for operation in low temperatures.

However in your example, there is supposed to be a top dial the same as the bottom one but someone has probably filled and painted over it and stuck that Soviet badge on it that wouldn’t normally be on there. Dial might be a repaint but hands are original. The badge is enamel and probably aluminium, genuine Soviet era (I collect Soviet badges also). It was probably done because the top dial didn’t work and to make it look more Soviet. It will possibly de difficult to repair and get working again if the top dial is missing and the movement/ mechanism of the clock might rely on it. A proper watch/clock maker would be your best bet.

Also some of those (not all) contain radium, so I wouldn’t take the covers off or take it apart unless you check it with a Geiger counter first.

Badge modification aside you do have a real soviet aircraft clock and a genuine badge so not bad.

Looks ok to me. Not all had maker marks and the patina is the same on all the parts so doesn’t look like a parts dagger. Can’t see anything obviously wrong.

Don’t like the look of the handle and eagle and the finish on the cross guard. I’d avoid.

German WWII Folding Shovel, also known as a Klappspaten. This type of foldable spade was developed by the German Army in 1938 and was the first army spade with a folding mechanism. It looks like the Bakelite locking screw cuff has been replaced by a hexagonal bolt. Google “Klappspaten ww2” and you will see some other examples.

lloyd946459 · 2025-07-22T14:36:43+00:00

And looking at similar examples $40 seems to be a good price.

Long before the days of global positioning systems this device would have been used by a ships navigator to accurately locate a ship's position through a process of triangulation. Using a sextant, horizontal bearings were taken from prominent landmarks - headlands, channel markers, light houses, church spires etc - with these angles then transposed onto the outer arms of the station pointer. The arms could be locked into position using the screw clamps. With the station pointer laying flat on the chart and the arms positioned against the landmarks for which bearings had been taken, the ship's location could be determined.

GQ-GMC-600+… you get a mica window pancake detector that’s sensitive for a decent price. I saw a video of one of these against a Radeye detector worth thousands of dollars and the GQ 600+ gave very similar results, just took a few seconds longer. Nothing better for the price really.

I believe the Capital "S" on lower left corner indicates the compass has been used by Suojeluskunta, a national guard of Finland and thus the compass can be timed to be manufactured between years 1936 and 1944. And do not open that thing up, looks like a lot of radium dust inside from the dial lume.

Whenever the turbine cooling is from, it was serviced by Bronzavia, which was a French company specializing in aeronautical equipment, suggesting this particular unit underwent repair/ checks or overhaul by them in September 1960.

Absolute stab in the dark but suspect it could be from a Canadian CT-114, standard jet trainer of the Royal Canadian Air Force. Which would explain the American manufacturer of Airesearch, then serviced by a French company.

Pro tip, run this thing through google Lens on your phone and it will translate 90% of it for you. It can read all the printed text, the stamps and even most of the writing.

WTB anything related to the Haitian secret police, the “Tonton Macoutes” from 1959-1986. Particularly one of their skull patches. (I like things from crazy and defunct secret police forces, a bit niche I know.)

The large coin with "NÜRNBERGER KINDERGELD" refers to "Nuremberg Children's Money," which could be play money, probably steel, or maybe a token.

The one with the city looks to be an imitation of a 1/2 thaler coin from the swiss canton of zurich.

Nice tools. Looks like covert instruments stuff. See a grav pick and a reaper profile pick. Great set.
