**SIEGE OF MALTA CAMOUFLAGE**British WW2 1940 EC & Co Ltd (E. Camelinat & Co Ltd, Birmingham & London) Tommy Combat Helmet With Liner & Chin Strap. Sn 22096 - 22096 The Siege of Malta in World War II was a military campaign in the Mediterranean Theatre. From June 1940 to November 1942, the fight for the control of the strategically important island of the British Crown Colony of Malta pitted the air and naval forces of Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany against the Royal Air Force (RAF) and the Royal Navy. The opening of a new front in North Africa in June 1940 increased Malta's already considerable value. British air and sea forces based on the island could attack Axis ships transporting vital supplies and reinforcements from Europe; Churchill called the island an "unsinkable aircraft carrier". General Erwin Rommel, in de facto field command of Axis forces in North Africa, recognised its importance quickly. In May 1941, he warned that "Without Malta the Axis will end by losing control of North Africa". The Axis resolved to bomb or starve Malta into submission, by attacking its ports, towns, cities, and Allied shipping supplying the island. Malta was one of the most intensively bombed areas during the war. The Luftwaffe and the Regia Aeronautica (Italian Royal Air Force) flew a total of 3,000 bombing raids, dropping 6,700 tons of bombs on the Grand Harbour area alone, over a period of two years in an effort to destroy RAF defences and the ports. Success would have made possible a combined German–Italian amphibious landing (Operation Herkules) supported by German airborne forces, but this did not happen. In the event, Allied convoys were able to supply and reinforce Malta, while the RAF defended its airspace, though at great cost in materiel and lives. In November 1942 the Axis lost the Second Battle of El Alamein, and the Allies landed forces in Vichy French Morocco and Algeria under Operation Torch. The Axis diverted their forces to the Battle of Tunisia, and attacks on Malta were rapidly reduced. The siege effectively ended in November 1942. In December 1942, air and sea forces operating from Malta went over to the offensive. By May 1943, they had sunk 230 Axis ships in 164 days, the highest Allied sinking rate of the war. The Allied victory in Malta played a major role in the eventual Allied success in North Africa. This is an excellent, original, WW2 steel 'Tommy' Combat helmet. This helmet has all of its original Green and sand section colour camo paint as used in the Siege of Malta. The surface of the helmet has no dents. The rim is impressed with ‘1 (January) /1940 date, batch number ‘394’ and maker detail ‘EC & Co Ltd’ which is E. Camelinat & Co Ltd, Birmingham & London. It has its original oil cloth sweat band liner, chin strap bales & elasticated webbing chinstrap with buckle all of which are intact. The helmet is approx. UK size 6 1/2. The price includes UK delivery. Sn 22096

*Excellent* U.S Made Burris 34mm Zoom 6X Recticle Rifle Scope. OPT 812. - OPT 812 The Burris Company was formed in 1971 and named after its founder Don Burris. Burris was a design engineer with Redfield, a Denver-based optics company, who believed he could build a better riflescope than what was currently available.

The company’s first optic was a riflescope called the Fullfield, which he began to market in 1975 and it has grown to be an industry icon that is still manufactured today. Metal surfaces show some minor age-related marks *marks to the inside of the broad end, no glass damage, see images*. The optics remain bright and clear and feature a cross-hair style recticle. It carries the ‘Burris’ inscription and ‘MADE IN USA – 6X MINI’ to the eyepiece. Serial Number: 206342. A collectable scope for the professional/enthusiast. The price includes UK delivery.
