    1. I know of an AF guy who received a purple heart for a TEMPORARY partial hearing loss at Khobar towers. I was USAF, too, btw....
    2. How does this clasp look to the members here? It appears to show the characteristics of an original RK clasp, but some of the features are rough. I don't have it in hand, so this is all I can show of it. Ian
    3. Of that, I'm not sure. I have a chance to pick up a coat with these boards. The coat is identical to the one Richtofen is wearing in this photo. I've been told the "Made in Germany" stamp was sometimes put on insignia and some other items brought back as war booty. I think these are legitimate, but would like any other opinions from those with experience in this area.
    4. Are these legitimate? Can the "Made in Germany" stamp be found on originals?
    5. B-8's and M-1944's are very similar in apearance, especially in a small black and white photo. I lean to B-8 because these look black and not grey (like M-1944).
    6. These were for use at very high altitudes where the standard wired suits that heated only the feet and hands weren't adequate. Ian
    7. This really isn't my thing, but it came my way due to a couple of other items in the group. I believe this is for weather?
    8. Displaying them is fine. Throughout the war crewmen used whatever they could get, not just the stuff issued through official channels.
    9. No, these are not model 306 goggles. These are the common general purpoase goggles that usually come in a green tin. They are smaller than the 306's.
    10. I don't collect these, so I have no dog in the fight. But do I see a distinct difference in the eagle's eye? On the zinc it appears complete, but stops at the brow on the buntmetal.
    11. Thanks for the show and tell. Being able to compare these really helps. Ian
    12. Would anyone be kind enough to post some Juncker-parts Deumers?
    13. This is a recent acquisition. I'm not a knowledgable case guy, but it looks as if it's the right case for the badge. Any thoughts?
