    1. Thanks Paul, I hope to see other members post some photos as well. The dagger I posted in the first photo is the DLV (Deutscher Luftsport-Verband) version which is longer than the 1st pattern Luftwaffe dagger. Here is a photo of the 1st pattern Luftwaffe dagger in wear. Cheers, Larry
    2. I thought it would be nice to see photos of swords, daggers, bayonets, knives in wear. If you have any, please post them. I will start off with a photo from my wedding portrait collection. A nice pic of a Lufwaffe first model dagger in wear. Cheers, Larry Closer view. Second model Luftwaffe dagger in wear. Luftwaffe sword in wear.
    3. Thanks very much Paul. Yes, the photos look to be very early war period. I love daggers/swords in wear photos. Maybe a thread should be started showing photos of them. Looks like three brothers in this photo or are closely related?. Panzer, Kreigsmarine and LW flak. Cheers, Larry
    4. Thanks Paul. Here's some Flak wedding portraits. Cheers, Larry
    5. I recently bought a large 2 Panzer Division photo lot which included these two photos of PAK being towed with ropes and straps similar to the ones Eric posted. The photos were taken in Greece in 1941. Cheers, Larry Ropes.
    6. Very nice badges. The Deutscher Schutzenbund e.V. was liquidated on December 1936 and replaced with Deutscher Schutzenverband. The Luft Gewehr badge which started this thread was awarded for air rifle. Here is another portrait with Deutscher Schutzenbund badge worn. Cheers, Larry
    7. If the ribbon is one colour it could be for a Long Service Medal. Cheers, Larry

    20. Thank you. I would like to know the year this photo was taken. He doesn't seem to be wearing shoulder boards but there is a heavy seam on the shoulders of his jacket. He is also wearing a LW overseas cap, was this a common practice? Cheers Larry
    21. From an Inf. Rgt. 154 album. Photo showing an MG34 position in a forest on the Leningrad front. Top photo shows the men are relaxed, the sun is low on the horizon. Bottom photo: Alarm!! Men are now on high alert, helmets on and weapons ready. They peer into the sun, a likely direction that the enemy would attack from. Men are on the move behind them. Cheers, Larry
