Guys, Just wondered if anyone had any thoughts on the signatures? The paper is ok but I am a naturally suspicious person. Thanks in advance for any direction. Jock:)

Stan, Cheers mate, I think it is OK too. I have been back today for a poke around and found some post war paper that supports the ID of the owner by Br James on WAF. Jock:)

Guys/Girls, I have been given this today, I think it is ok from what I have seen online. The last 4 pics are from a usb microscope thing which seems to distort the colour a bit? Pity about the pin being broke, bugger! I have not cleaned it. I may have some more info tomorrow about the family name and/or some paper if lucky, you never know! Jock:)

Hello Hucks, It is a very fragile bit of paper, I am not sure what to do with it, do you think behind glass is best? Thanks for the steer to the sorties, quite horendus losses from the bomber formations. Still I suppose the civil casualties balance it out in the greater scheme and hopefully they hit their targets shortening the war? Terrible business war! Jock:)

Odulf, I have just got a sleave band for I believe a RADwJ lady it has GauOst-Hannover and it looks like it also had -Stab but that has been unpicked at a guess by the lady at the time? Looking at the other bits and bobs she served 1938/39. Not much help but they did have Gothic writing? Regards Jock:)

None of them are maker marked and they are all slightly different in construction and sadly only one is completely without damage or repair. It would seem that they all fail at the similar points where the brass bars are connected to give it some rigidity. Jock:)

Bob, I doubt your mate is struggling for pictures but if he has to rely on me taking them then he is on a hiding since it is not an area I am that good at, certainly not for a reference book anyway. Robin, Nice stuff and a lot of it too. Jock:)

Guys, Got these handfull of papers not long ago and didn't think of them until I unfolded the newspaper and seen that it was like a mass memorial sheet posted by the local Gualeiter. Looking at it the family that had kept these few bits of paper were hit quite badly with the loss of the grandmother and mother of the family and the father was seriously wounded. They have marked another 10 names on the main sheet with 'x' so I would presume those were friends known to them on their street or local area? Old Franz Geye I think would have been the opa and already passed away but he served in the 1st war as seen from his SB. Horst Geye was I guess the 'father' that was badly wounded. The sheet commemorates people killed on two seperate nights, the 23rd and the 28th Sep 1943. Just a random fragment that someone preserved and quite sad really. I am going to have a look and see if I can link up the sorties involved, well its on the things to do list anyway! Jock:)

Bob, They are a bit tall to try and photograph, hope this will do. The top one has a shorter distance for the hangers, approx 35cm. Regards Jock:)http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_06_2013/post-15855-0-50698400-1372358426.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_06_2013/post-15855-0-50698400-1372358426.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_06_2013/post-15855-0-66422400-1372358550.jpg

Bob, Off to work soon, will do you some pictures tonight. Jock:)

Bob, Thanks for info, I have 3 and 1/2 (bit missing) Fanfares but they are all pretty well 42cm between the hangers? Cheers Jock:)

Hi Bob, How far apart are the ties on the flag if you don't mind me asking? Would it fit a fanfare trumpet? Cheers Jock:)

Guys, Had this for a while and posted it up elsewhere. I just wondered if anyone here might know anything about it? Cheers. Jock:)

Don, It is just my poor photography, they are both leaning to one side and the camera was closer to one of them, sorry! Regards Jock:)

Guys, Just been going through my tin boxes and rediscovered these pair, sadly one has a broken pin. Gave me an excuse to play with my new usb microsope thing. Jock:)

It looks well enough made and to be honest it was going in the skip if I hadn't grabed it. Jock:)
