Thanks Paul. The heigth of the letters are two and a half centimeters. Snoopy

Hi Paul I have a couple of well used single straps, in my collection. Snoopy

A single bottle green board, with blue piping. Snoopy

Hi Paul Great boards. I don't know if this is the correct thread for mine, but here is my veterinarian shoulder boards. Snoopy

Hello I'm no expert, but I think it's for a sports shirt. Snoopy

Hi The book is a very interesting read. Snoopy

Hello Jan Arne That's a good looking lamp. I took the liberty to post one of mine. It's a variation of yours, in that it has a carrying handle, instead of a hook. The markings are similar to yours. Regards Snoopy

Hello This is my only British shoulder patch. It's for the 61st Infantry Division. This division was based in the UK, during the war, as part of the Home Forces. Regards Snoopy

Hi Paul I tried to make some closeups, of the inscription. I made them from the photo, so they are not very good. Snoopy

Hi Now, for something a bit different. This wall decoration was given as a present to a flak unteroffizier, from his NCO pals. The reason seems to be, that he was being reassigned as a supply NCO. The item is made from some kind of animal bone, with the decorations painted on. Snoopy

Hi Dan Wow, that's impressive. It really doesn't need any paint to look great. The vignette is really packed with detail. I could study it for hours, and I'm not kidding. Do you have any other projects planned? Regards Snoopy

Thanks everybody. I'm glad glad you like it. Snoopy

Hi Dan Glad you like it. This aircraft belonged to the 80th FG. The 80th FG consisted of the 88th, 89th and the 90th FS. They operated in India and Burma in 1943-44. Lt Freeling 'Dixie' Clover came up with the scull design, which gave rise to their nicname, the "Burma Banshees". This design was used on all the P-40's in the 80th FG. Snoopy

Thanks for the kind words. Actually, I have never counted the hours that I spend on a model, but I guess that it's way to many. Snoopy

Greatcoat, for a flak unteroffizier.

This is my obergefreiter fliegerbluse, with original loops for one medal. Snoopy

Hello Jan Arne Those signal flares, are a really nice find. Snoopy

I have seen the video clip several times today. When the crewman exit's the boat, something that looks very much like your lamp, can be seen hanging from a lanyard. You mentioned Bundesmarine. If the Bundesmarine was reactivated at the same time as the Bundesluftwaffe and Heer, I believe that would make it, late fifties. Please, correct me if I am wrong. I think that your lamp looks older than that. I must add, that I am no expert, so it's only my personal thaugts, but if it was from the fifties, wouldn't it have some sort of Nato style number, and maybe a synthetic lanyard? I think that you have a very interesting lamp, and as you say, it might be late war Luftwaffe, or it might be a lamp specially designed for the K-men. I have seen a few of the more "ordinary" Luftwaffe beacon lamps, and I seem to remember, that these lamps allso lacks the Luftwaffe Fl. number. I really hope that you can get it confirmed as a K-man's beacon lamp. That would make it a real rarity, I think. Snoopy

Hello Very nice and interesting lamp. I have never seen this one before. Snoopy

Hello Very nice binoculars. Nice been there look. The sailor on the left in the picture, has an interesting cap. Snoopy

Hi Bob Great pictures. Snoopy

Hi again I have a question. Was the piped trade badges, like the badge in the picture above, used only by NCO's? Snoopy

Hi Bob Hmmm. I should probably have recogniced it. Snoopy

Hello I made an attempt at a close up, from a picture that I have in my collection. It's not the best picture in the world, but it shows the arm of a soldier, with a signals trade badge. I am not shure if the NCO on the right, is a member of a signals unit. Difficult to say, from a black and white photo. Snoopy

Hello again If anybody has anything, related to the "Augsburg eagles", or other Messerschmidt's, please share them with us. In my collection I have this original manual, for the "Fug 16 ZY". I hope you like it. This radio was used in the Bf 109. Snoopy
