Excellent Fritz, looks much better now, I have deleted the two small older pictures in the first post for you. With the old smaller pictures you don't actually need to take new pictures, just save the old picture then re-post it again and it appears in the new large format. I do that allot with the older posts but there are so many of them it can be quite time consuming, but it is worth it as they look much better.

Welcome to the forum, the helmet you have stamped HS 236 was made by Hadfield Ltd of Sheffield and the No 236 being the Heat/Batch No of steel used. Hadfield Ltd was both ( Manufacturer and Steel Supplier ).

Hello Miguelbernardo, what you have is the 1917/30 Model helmet. The DCT stood for "Defenca Civil Territorial", part of the Portuguese Legion. These helmets started off as WW1 British made helmets, then in 1930, they were refurbished/reissued and used until 1939, when a new model 1940 was introduced, however they were still in use for some time by the DCT and other auxiliary organizations. The green cross stood for the Cross of Aviz, used by the Legião Portuguesa or Portuguese Legion, which started in 1936, and was dissolved in the 1970's. The legion had three tiers: Escalão das Actividade Militares, 18-45 years old, Escalão Privativo da DCT, 45 years and older, and Escalão de Serviços Moderados, used for members over the age of 60.

Here's another of my deact pistols,its the Russian Tokarev tt33 pistol, this is the post war version dated 1948, as can be seen it has the smaller slide serations and has been arsenal refurbished as can be seen by the small square with a line going through it. (Its pictured with a ww2 issue holster) The TT33 semi-automatic pistol was developed by Fedor Tokarev as a service pistol for the Soviet military to replace the Nagant M1895 revolver that had been in use since Tsarist times, though it ended up being used in conjunction with rather than replacing the M1895. It served until 1952, when it was replaced by the Makarov pistol.

Thanks Buster, will need to keep an eye out for that next time one comes in

They started making the smaller serations in 1946, not sure why! Might be production costs. The tt33 could also use the 7.62 mauser round as used in the C96 (broomhandle/bolo) pistols, but not vice versa as the Tokarev round was to powerfull for the mauser.

interesting Buster, did all the post war Tokarev's have the smaller slide serations?

Here is one of the latest fake SS helmets, quite scary really , refurbished helmet with fake decal.
