For some reason I think these guys make better than average? But also dont forget, a careful maker cannot make up for a bad design....

It was nice to see the care that went into making these... at least at this factory....

Don Managed to tweek these....

Super! I would love to see them. I have a Tunic to a winner and I have been waiting for the "right one" to complete it...

Hi, the cross looks just fine... and GBP40 seems about right.... Used to be waaaaay cheaper ;-)

Thanks, Its still not 100% clear to me, would he have worn just this or another EK2 ribbon as well (i.e. 2 ribbons)

I have been looking for one of these for ages to complete a uniform.... hard to see on the pic, but the pins have almost worn through the ribbon over the years. I hope this is OK for a buttonhole?

Hi, to Husen in Westfahlen

S'funny, he WAS wounded... but wears no wound badge....

Hi, just saw this... 15mm

Only one helmet cover can be recognised with a "3".... but some pretty cool photos...

Here are a couple of nice pics, especially interesting is how the pouch is clipped on to the front buttons of the tunic....

Officer of an Unknown unit...

No doubt about these I think?

Some proud wearers....

I just saw one for MGSSA 47 go for EUR350... needless to say I was outdid....

Well, a WW2 variation with a "Fr" ring seems to have turned up....

Any Guesses welcome... Looks like "Sturm A..." So maybe a Sturm Abteilung of some sort.... unfortunately no other details on the card....

The Grave of von Kleist

Another

Here you go...

I saw a nice one dated 1912 at Kassel.... I pointed to it and asked "Uhhh... How M...?" "EUR5000" "Ok Thanks....." But that was OK as my strict "Infantry Only" rule came into play.

Whats the collar badge?

Are you kidding me???? Where did you get that???
