Hi All, I have shown this cap here before, but as I am having a day off, and it is quiet, I did some more photos, always good to drag the toys off the shelf and have a bit of a play..... Bob

I think they may be illustrated in the 3 volume Bender series on the Luftwaffe, I will check, I don't have the books handy right now though.... Bob

Very nice Jan Arne & John, fantastic acquisitions ! I still have to track down a good example of one of these beauties ! Best wishes Bob

One thing about buying from Bill, you can sleep well at night with your purchases, yeah I reckon George would have had has hands on it at some early stage ! It is a stunning and rare tunic mate, you pulled off quite a coup ! Bob

Every time Francois posts, my heart races, wonderful as always! You have been very quiet of late Francois ! Best wishes Bob

Hi Scott, Didn't Rex Reddick have a hand in one of the cap books on the 3rd Reich that was published in the past few years as well....??? Bob

Hi All, You guys may know the system used to de-cypher the later war Luftwaffe Dog Tags perhaps, I have this one in my collection, and I am not sure what the unit may be that this tag is associated with. It is marked 68421 over 510, and I guess the 510 is the airman's personal number but I have no idea of the unit, and I have been told that the number doesn't correspond with the known FJ numbering system, so it is possibly associated with a flight unit. (also interesting that there is no blood group stamped into it). Any ideas at all??? Many thanks Cheers Bob

And again John thank you very much ! Cheers Bob

Much obliged John, thanks very much !! Bob

Last couple of shots I have, more of the back of the badge.... Bob

and more....

Again...

More....

Another item on offer, and again, all comments welcome.... Thanks Bob

Last one, thanks for looking, Best wishes Bob
