Bolewts58. Brian. Do you agree with this summary, in pix, of the larger v. smaller Ehrhardt badges ??? The small one seems to be for the 1923 Wiking-Bund alone, (worn here by a Wehrwolf man), rather than for the 1933 Verbande der SS, which seems to have reverted to the standard, larger, 1919 version.

EK 1939 My Übergröße family
Robin Lumsden replied to sanya13's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
Nice! Mine is in here, somewhere. I seem to recall that those 'in the know' identified the unmarked Uebergrosse maker as Frank & Reif. -
Bolewts58. Not long-winded at all. I'm a bit that way myself. I remember writing an essay back in the Stone Age, when I was a student at St. Andrews University, which the tutor marked off as ............... quote ................. 'Far, far, FAR too long !!!!' As a point of interest, that Sturm-Kompanie pattern skull was also worn on the cap by at least one Wehrwolf man, per the attached photo.

Great Britain Tank Corps Embroidery
Robin Lumsden replied to Robin Lumsden's topic in The Great War 1914 to 1918
How true, Peter. Many of these soldiers had artisan skills from their pre-war trades, I suppose. I also have this one, which was made by a man called Burgess convalescing at St. Anne's Hall in 1916. -

Just picked this up. Sewn around a period magazine page as a backing. These embroideries of regimental/corps insignia were typically made in hospitals by convalescing wounded soldiers. The embroiderer here had quite a skill !!
