FAIRBAIRN-SYKES FIGHTING KNIFE Fine example of a double-edged stiletto-style fighting knife, 6 1/4" blade, 11 1/4" overall, with a blackened checked vase-shaped brass grip, an oval hand guard and no ricasso. The blade is etched "The F-S Fighting Knife" on one side, and with the maker's name "Wilkinson Sword Co. Ltd. London" on the other. Unusually, the blade of this example has been left "in the white"; the majority were blackened along with the grip. The knife is housed in a replacement black-painted steel scabbard with a brown leather belt loop, not original to the dagger. The blade bears minor oxidation with slight pitting, and a few run marks, while the black coating of the handle is rubbed thin in a few areas, else very good. These knives were designed by William Fairbairn and Eric Sykes, instructors in close-combat fighting at the Commando Basic Training Centre in Scotland. The knife came to be most closely associated with the British Commandos, but was also used by British and Canadian Airborne troops, the SAS, the American OSS and Army Rangers, and some U.S. Marine units. It remains one of the most instantly recognizable fighting knife styles.

WAFFEN-SS HELMET WITH "BRING BACK" PAPER WORKGerman steel single-decal M1940 combat helmet, with a very dark green painted finish overall, well-worn and oxidized in some areas, with a decal bearing the "sig" runes of the Waffen-SS, slightly scratched and dinged, on the right-hand side. The inside of the left-hand rim is heat-stamped "ET66", indicating that it was manufactured at the Eisenhuttenwerke at Thale. The rear rim is heat-stamped "228 5". The eight-fingered liner is of light brown leather, flaking slightly and size-stamped "58", with the original adjustment cord present. The dark brown leather chinstrap is cracking in several spots, but present and intact. Included with the helmet is a wood box, 13" x 7" x 10", used by an American soldier, Arthur Galloway, to ship his souvenir home to his mother at war's end. The box is addressed on the lid: "Mrs. William Galloway, Whitehall, New York", with the return address: "T/5 Arthur Galloway 62040938, Ser. Co. 36th A[rmored] I[nfantry] R[egiment], A.P.O. #253 c/o Postmaster, New York, N.Y." with the disclaimer "Contents: German Helmet". This address appears again on the front and back of the box. On the front, the address is partially obscured by the original capture certificate for the helmet, which is secured to the wood by four tacks. This certificate, dated March 6, 1945, is signed by Galloway's superior officer, and certifies that the value of the helmet as a trophy is not exceeded by its scrap or training value, and that no explosives or firearms are to be shipped. The certificate lists the specific items to be shipped as "German Helmet & Coins", although the latter are no longer present. The box further bears several postage stamps and an Army inspector's stamp. Records present with the helmet indicate that Arthur Galloway enlisted in the Army in January of 1941 and was discharged in September 1945, and saw service in North Africa and in Germany. It is most likely that he captured this helmet from a surrendering soldier in Germany, shortly before war's end, as indicated by the date on the shipping certificate. A superlative relic in as-captured condition.

THE TWO-STAR GENERAL'S HELMET OF GEN. WILLIAM H. H. MORRIS, JR., WORN WHEN HE RELIEVED BASTOGNEA special find, the mid-war American M1 helmet owned and worn by General William Henry Harris Morris, Jr. during his service in Europe. The helmet is an early war fixed bale M1 with the seam of the rim appearing at the front and with a very lightly textured dark green paint. At the front of the helmet, two stars are affixed, apparently brazed to the helmet surface and then painted to match the existing finish. The original chin strap remains attached, pulled above the front rim of the helmet. Within, the steel body bears the painted identification: "Maj. Gen. W. H. H. Morris, Jr." which clearly was applied many decades ago. The woven composite helmet retains all original straps and ties. It too has the same white painted identification and it has been done in the same hand. It is also aged identically to that written within the helmet. The front of the liner also has two stars painted thereon. A "Capac Manufacturing" stamp appears within. Overall very good condition. This helmet was purchased from a collection in New Jersey, where Morris was born and raised. During World War I, he served in France as a commander of a battalion in the 360th Infantry Regiment and he was wounded in combat. During World War II Morris commanded the 6th Armored Division during its stateside training, was promoted to brigadier general in January, 1942 and major general in May, 1942. In 1943 and 1944 he commanded II Armored Corps, which was later reorganized as the XVIII Airborne Corps incorporating the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions. In 1945, Morris brilliantly commanded 10th Armored Division in the relief of Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge. Following this he was assigned to command VI Corps in the Seventh Army which drove from the Rhine to Italy in the spring of 1945.

M1C PARATROOPER'S HELMET WITH 506th P.I.R. INSIGNIAUnited States Army M1C steel helmet shell and liner, designed specifically for use by paratroopers. The swivel-bale shell of the helmet is heat-stamped "912A", and the exterior is painted with a white "spade", denoting the famous 506th P.I.R., on each side, although the white "tic" marks that would have denoted the wearer's battalion are absent. These insignia show honest wear, and the original cork finish is intact. The liner is stamped as being manufactured by Westinghouse, and the smaller leather chinstrap and leather headband appear to be modern replacements. The nape support band is a fine original khaki color.

The interior of the liner bears a mark identifying the manufacturer as the Capac Manufacturing Company, and an open grommet hole at the front.

M1 HELMET WITH 1ST INFANTRY DIVISION INSIGNIAUnited States Army M1 steel helmet shell and liner. The shell features fixed strap bales and a seam at the front, with sewn-in straps, and with the paint of the rim flaking away to reveal the bright metal surface beneath, all of which are hallmarks of early World War II helmets. The shell bears the painted insignia of the 1st Infantry Division, a red numeral "1" within an inverted diamond, slightly off-center at the front. It appears that a post-war armorer attempted to remove this insignia with some sort of abrasive substance. There is also a horizontal white "follow me" stripe painted on the rear of the shell, indicating that the wearer was an officer. The shell is also heat-stamped "223C", and the exterior crown bears some oxidation and scratching. The liner bears the stamp of the International Molded Plastics company - a man within an upright oval - within, with the correct World War II-style herringbone webbing, leather chin strap, and nape strap. A white vertical stripe is painted on the front of the liner. The shoelace which would have allowed the wearer to adjust the fit of the webbing is missing, but the webbing itself is intact but for a minor tear to one loop. The chin strap is also broken at one end. With honest wear to the webbing and leather throughout, else very good.

Our research shows that McIntire was herself a nurse. The box bears several ink inscriptions, including: "Do Not Open Until Christmas Day!" and "There Are Always Surprises At Christmas!" The postmark gives a date of Nov. 15, 1944, squarely during wartime. Both pieces in very good condition.

WORLD WAR I AMERICAN SOLDIER'S JOURNALThe manuscript diary of U.S. Army Pvt. Thomas Oskin, executed in a pre-printed "Army and Navy Diary" (Chicago: Stanton and Van Vliet Co.), 1917, approx. 180pp. 12mo., bound in black cloth boards, which contains spaces for the soldier to record their personal information, addresses of friends, and battle participated in, as well as a glossary of French phrases and a guide to the metric system. Pvt. Oskin records his hometown as Duquesne, Pennsylvania, his enlistment date as Oct. 31, 1917 at Pittsburgh, and his basic training location as Camp (now Fort) Meade, Maryland, where he trains as a member of an engineering battalion. His first entry is dated Dec. 2, 1917, while still at Camp Meade. He and his unit sail from Hoboken for France on Jan. 23, 1918, arriving at Brest on Feb. 5. From there his battalion travels by train to St. Nazaire, where they are employed building mess kitchens and other infrastructure for the camps there. The battalion departs for the front lines in the vicinity of Toul on Feb. 23, where his battalion continues to perform various tasks close to the front lines. Oskin reports hearing distant artillery firing throughout the day, records German casualties and prisoners and later witnesses several air raids, and an aerial duel between French and German fighters. He also frequently mentions singing with several other members of his battalion, guard duties, bouts of illness, and all of the different construction and repair duties that the battalion is tasked with. He captures the uncertainty of being stationed so close to the front, with frequent gas alarms, moving camp, being shelled by artillery, and constantly waiting to be called to the trenches. For leisure, the men hold baseball games, box, wrestle, sing and occasionally watch a film. Oskin is also tasked with building an "old fashioned" chimney and fireplace for the officers' quarters. Om May 30, he makes the following entry: "... went up to the front tonight to patch shell holes. The boys went over the top at 2 and there shure was something doing..." He continues the following day: "... The boys brought back 20 Germans last night for ornaments and killed all others in sight. Fine day..." On June 11, he records" ... Gas alarm twice last night as the Bochs [Germans] tried to come over but got fooled..." At the end of July, the battalion relocates to the vicinity of Chateau Thierry, where Oskin continues to make daily records of interesting events, including swimming in the Marne and recovering a body, nightly German bombing raids, and transporting supplies by truck between various villages, At the beginning of September, Oskin falls ill, and has to be transported to Paris by the Red Cross for treatment. While there, he records a bombing raid on the city and visits several monuments and museums. The Armistice finds Oskin and his unit in the vicinity of Vraincourt, where he writes on Nov. 11: "... The Germans are supposed to have signed an armistice today and we are hoping for the best. Having a general singing time tonight..." He continues the following day: "... The armistice is signed so things are going our way..." The end of the war does not signal an end for Oskin's duties, however. A few days after the Armistice, he is tasked with driving several officers to inspect the German-held city of Verdun. Oskin remains in France until at least March 23, 1919, which is that date of his final entry. One page of the diary is torn, and several pages are loose but still attached, and the diary as a whole bears expected age wear, else very good and perfectly legible.
