Nice!

Paul.

For your interest ......................

Diebitsch Kreuz .........................

Another TK oddity .................... not Imperial, but fits this thread.

Chris.

Very nice ............ thanks for posting.

Sorry ........... bad news.

Nice selection, Paul.

I particularly like the document/photo covers. Great artwork there.

Not a lot on the skull front at my end recently ..................... although I did pick up this dinky little 1:6 scale FK helmet last week.

Shown with others for comparison.

Got it now .......... swimmer.

What is this thing .................... ???

I've forgotten !!!

Alles korrekt !!

Just another little totenkopf for the collection.

Never seen one like that, but a wonderful item in my opinion.

Most likely an Ordnungspolizei officer's staff car pennant.

The construction is very similar to the Allgemeine-SS equivalent.

Many SS and Police officers had dual ranks in both organisations.

Nice how the eagle's head has been rotated to 'face the front' .................. makes for a very unusual image of the normal Polizei eagle.

As regards value, I think it must be worth at least £400 GBP.

Paul.

Nice one !!

Looks old and hand-made .................. just how I like 'em !!

Just picked this up.

19th Century German Roman Catholic priest's crucifix ....................... with a totenkopf, of course.

OK .................. not military.

But .................. they were also commonly worn by Chaplains in the Imperial German Army, as the photo shows.

Similar ..................

Just looking for confirmation from someone who knows better !!

Does anyone know what the difference between these two mess dress types signifies ??

I believe the one on the right might be for warrant officers, worn on the lower sleeve, and the one on the left for NCOs, worn on the chevrons ??

Thanks in advance !

Nice!

TK Fest ................................ Freikorps ............................. Flammenwerfer ................................ Panzer ..............................

As here .........................

I have one of their breast badges ...................... but that pennant takes the biscuit! Just fantastic.

Wunderbar !!

That's the photo I was thinking about!

Nice one!

Better condition than mine .................................

I think I have a photo somewhere showing one of these types being worn. I'll try to find it.

Fun & games ...............................

I think I might have his tab .................... or its twin.
