    Love what we're seeing so far Tom. Great collection! I'm sure alot of folks were like me... used to see this stuff for cheap in surplus stores all over and never gave it much thought. Now I wish I had. They're great to display the 57 awards on not to mention any Bundeswehr badges and such that come down the road.

    Looking forward to more. :jumping: :jumping: Thanks so much for sharing! :beer:

    Plus it's great getting some activity going in this section again! :D

    Dan :cheers:

    I am blown away! That is an amazing collection. I had never even heard of BW Panzer berets, and you have two of them!

    That medical officer tunic is absolutely gorgeous! I love how the blue color surrounds the sleeve patch. I have never seen the waffenfarbe displayed in this manner. Was this a short lived practice?

    Paul, to my knowledge they still use the same patches, and they also have a blue beret with a snake badge. As far as I know, this is a doctor-dentist-nurse distinction, combat medics wear the same uniforms as the unit they serve in.

    i actually have 5 in total :whistle::jumping: jonas is correct it can be found on most patches the medics is the "Zentrale Sanitatsdienststellen verschiedene Standorte" who are the central medical services of the bundeswehr

    jonas the beret you are correct on but there are 3 types of beret metal badge for the low rank soldat, threaded badge for NCO (as private purchase) and bullion patch for officers shown below is NCO patch and metal:

    soft beret (got 2 of them :jumping: )

    black beret with tank badge (but without national flag)

    black beret with tank badge (with national flag)

    all 5 belonged to the same man who i brought it off a while back when he left the forces :jumping:
