Naxos

Thanks Chip - same here, I like them worn as well!

Hans-Levin von Barby, from June 1941 until his death on May 27 1942 near El Adem, the commander of 361 Nice one!

That is from his Infantrie training manual for one-year volunteers and see, he was trained on the same rifle:

Look what I got - must be one of his contemporaries serving in the same Regiment before the war:

Can you check for more markings on it - the company made props for several Airplanes

Post it over at the: http://www.theaerodrome.com/forum they might help you. Are there any other markings on the prop?

The prop was made by: Wilhelm Wolff Luftschraubenwerk Berlin-Waidmannslust (probably in the ninteen-twenties) very nice!

I have some pictures of a relative that was employed by the AVG and he wears the exact collar tabs w/o shoulder boards (1960s) - I will dig it up and post it.

The unit was created in January 1945, see here: http://www.ww2.dk/ground/goering/begreich.htm I like the Erkennungsmarke from looking at the picture :cheers:

Very nice and unusual Beau

One Bataillon had to surrender to the Free French Army and sufferrd reprisals

The manuscript was copied in small numbers and given out at a Tradition meet of the 90 PzGrenDiv in 1978. Here is more to the L?gionnaires :

Excerpt: sorry for the untranslated text

I aquired this interesting 60 page regimental history manuscript written by Ernst Schilling, a Batl commander of Afrika-Regiment 361. This Regiment fought as part of the 90th Light division in North Africa and went into captivity in April 1943. Apparently it's soldiers were former L?gionnaires - they called their Regiment the "Legion?r" Regiment.

IR167

IR47, 10th Division - spent a couple of boody months (Oct to Dec 16) at Verdun (Fort Douaumont)

Gordon, the lack of shoulder boards - but I think you have a point regarding the gold wire collar tabs. I have to check , Hardy :cheers:

Medic - Unteroffizier - yes, after the war - early twenties They must have found some casualties dating back to the beginning of the war

Can you make an enlagement of the shoulder strap?

Paul, I don't think it is federal DB (Deutsche Bundesbahn) - I believe the tunic is from a provincial railroad like the AVG (Albtalbahn Verkehrs Gesellschaft). Is there a manufacturer tag?

You are right - no good
