€0,01Original Signature of Ward Hermans. A5 size. Condition as seen.
Cornelius Eduardus Hermans (6 February 1897 – 23 November 1992) was a Belgian Flemish nationalist politician and writer. Hermans saw service with the Belgian Army during the First World War before becoming involved in politics as a member of the nationalist Frontpartij. As punishment for his involvement in the Flemish Movement, he was sent to the Special Forestry Platoon, a Belgian penal military unit located in Orne, Normandy, France in July 1918, where he worked as a woodchopper as a form of penal labour. After the war, Hermans served the Frontparij in the Belgian parliament from 1929 to 1932. He quit the Frontpartij in 1933 to join Verdinaso and soon became known for his pro-Nazi stance in journals such as De Schelde, Volk en Staat, and Strijd. His membership came to an end the following year when he argued with Joris van Severen and left the group to join the Flemish National Union. Serving as an arrondissement leader for the group from 1935 to 1940, he also returned to parliament as a VNV representative from 1939 to 1944.
Hermans became an enthusiastic collaborator with Nazi Germany after the German invasion of Belgium in 1940. The same year, Hermans, along with René Lagrou, was the founder of the Algemeene-SS Vlaanderen, the Flemish Schutzstaffel. Having left his official engagements with VNV in October 1940 to concentrate on this assignment, he also edited the new movement’s journal SS-Man. In the later years of the war Hermans went to Germany to broadcast propaganda over the radio in Bremen.
Hermans was sentenced to death in absentia after the Second World War, but he was not arrested until his capture in Germany in November 1946. He was returned to Belgium where his sentence was commuted to life imprisonment, and he was released in 1955. He largely remained aloof from political involvement following his release, apart from a spell in the Order of Flemish Militants during the 1970s, before his death on 23 November 1992.

Russian Kolpak 20 Helmet from the Russo-Ukraine War (Shot through, from Bakhmut)
€0,01This helmet was previously sold at a Polish Charity Auction to raise funds for Ukraine and was captured by the Kholodnyy Yar 93 Brigade in August 2022 near Bakhmut. I’m now offering this for sale (using the pictures of the auction house, as they are much better then I can make). The description comes from the previously sold auction. This helmet comes with a Certificate-of-Authenticity from this Polish Auction house.
“Steel helmet, whose bell was designed during the Second World War, “modernized” in 2022. Bell of the helmet – wz.40, fascicle and bolster now added by a Russian company. Description from the fascicle – Collar 20, class 2 according to the Russian classification, year of production (Modernization): January 2022.
On the fascicle is written Isaj; shot through the back, from the back, biological traces on the bullet entry site.
Although the faceplate, bolster and overall quality of this modification looks like it was done on his own by one of the Russian army’s conscript soldiers, it is mass-produced from Soviet ssz40 steel helmets by the civilian company “NPO Spezmaterjaly” in St. Petersburg. It is purchased by Russian soldiers privately at a price comparable to that of modern helmets, while not giving even approximate protection against shrapnel and bullets.
The inadequate level of protection was witnessed by the previous owner of the helmet in the failed Russian assault on the town of Bahmut, Donetsk region. Being shot from behind may indicate the owner’s death in an attempt to retreat.
