Luftwaffe Para Badge.
Gefreiter replied to Gefreiter's topic in Germany: Third Reich: Wehrmacht Medals, Decorations & Awards
Thank you John that was the simple answer to that. It shall therefore remain known as "the gap filler" and remind me to keep an eye open for a good one. I only paid £10 which should have told me something anyway. Grateful for your knowledge as usual. Best Regards Garry -
I recently bought this badge quite cheap at a fair mainly as a gap filler. Looking at it more closely it looks pretty period. The mark is Brehmer Berlin. 3 but I can't find an example of that maker on the internet to compare. I like to know where the differences are between fake and real. I'd be grateful for any comments from the experts. Thank you.

SA shoulder strap??
Gefreiter replied to Gefreiter's topic in Germany: Third Reich: Uniforms, Headwear, Insignia & Equipment
Thank you for your reply. You may be right it could be a private service. There seems to be a combination of services here with the acorns and green backing pointing to the forestry service and the SB very SA like. I will have to do some more research. -
I am trying to identify this shoulder board. I initially thought it was SA but the acorns and green backing have thrown me. Can't find anything on the internet or in my reference books. Can anyone help on this one please. Thanks

Excellent. Thank you both for all your help. That's very interesting.

I picked this badge up at a car boot for £2. It's fairly heavy for its size 28.9 gms and 5x4 cms. Non magnetic accept for pin. There are no markings on it. It is nothing like other Thuring badges I have seen and I am presuming it is a fake . I know little about Gau badges and would appreciate anyones advice.

Thank you for your reply John. I am not disappointed as it cost me nothing, it was amongst my late Uncle's effects which I inherited with some WW1 medals when he died. I am just enjoying the forum immensely. BR Garry

Hi. I am new to the forum and delighted to have found such a wealth of information and interesting posts. I collect mainly WW1 militaria but I have this Spanish Cross KIA which I am sure must be a copy as only 315 were ever issued. However I would be interested in anyone's opinion particulary as to when it might have been made. The weight is 15.1 gms. Thank you.
