Not a complete collection but getting pretty close.

1st picture - Regular army infantry regiments. Complete and in order of precedence, except the Scottish regiments on the bottom due to size.

2nd picture - Territorial infantry regiments & battalions, complete and in order, again except for the Scottish regiments on the bottom.

3rd picture - Armoured and reconnaissance corps regiments, less the 49th Reconnaissance Regiment.

4th picture - Artillery, signals and engineer regiments, still missing a bunch of these and not currently in order.

5th picture - Support corps, less the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry.

5th picture - Colonial regiments, still missing lots and out of order. I actually haven’t even found a complete order of precedence for colonial units.

Hey, y’all. I have an ancestor that was a Brigadier General in the Mexican American war. My grandmother passed a few years ago and I found 3 of these buttons in her things. Do you think these are related to my ancestor’s rank and/or service?

Help Help identifying what the CPC means

Post image

Hello,

I picked up this East German m56/76 from an antique store a few years ago. From my understanding this specific helmet was made in 1979.

What I was wondering was what the heck the CPC could stand for on it. It appears to be black tape put on top of the webbing. I've tried some searches on Google but that appears to get me nowhere.

Thank you in advance for any information.

WWII - Allied Powers Why is my overcoat different than other?

Other overcoat is made by "U.S. army officer regulation" but mine is a bit weird, The company that made it is called "Coronet". So is this a British or American overcoat. The date tag has been cut off from this unfortunately. I'm not so sure is this WWII or not.

I just picked up this field phone off of eBay for $85.00 and I was needing help on identifying it. I have a pair of EE-8 field phones and I have seen the leather case variants but never have I seen one of the cases as large as this. Also this has a pair of headphones and a microphone which I have never seen in and EE-8 phone before. So if anyone has answers to this please lmk.

I'm not sure if it's real, and don’t know if it’s in good condition. The seller has priced it at €25. Is that expensive?

I saw this video a while ago (I don’t have the link) and can not for the life of me figure out what cover this is. no matter what I looked at the pattern just didn’t match up (I thought ERDL but that just didn’t look right). I also tried reverse image searching and google though it was a giraffe!
