Early pair by Hoffmann with zippers on the inner and outer sides. They appear unused. The boots are all black, but for some reason the camera picks up a little purplish hue. Regards, Kevin

Fabulous equipment, Jos! Wherever do you find this treasure?
-
What a great collection, and nice to see such a varied display of U.S. militaria. Rattle, your arranging and photography/editing is pure art! Nicely done. --Kevin

Hello Nesredep, If you know of period photos showing short-lead helmets, please post them if you can! Regards, Kevin

Thank you, Jeremy! Your advice is appreciated. I was hoping for a lower value, for selfish purposes If I get the Wehrpass, I will certainly post more of it. Regards, Kevin
-
I would like to buy this Wehrpass from a fellow who has offered it to me, but I don't really have a good idea of value. I can find no similar items with which to compare. Could somebody hazard a guess? One interesting aspect is that the soldier began the war as an infantryman, and ended up as a Luftwaffe observer. Regards, Kevin

That's a really sweet observer light w/accessories, Fran?ois. I'd love to have one of those! --Kevin

This face mask was used by air crew in open-air cockpits and perhaps other personnel such as air gunners. Also came in handy at Halloween. The flap opens for use of a mouthpiece oxygen system. Here I've shown the mask as it might have been worn. Regards, Kevin

Luftwaffe Honor Goblet

Nice one, Wessel! I got some other items belonging to the goblet winner, as well. Unfortunately, the Ehrenpokal award document was not one of them. --Kevin -
I love this one because you can see the drums in the carriers, hung from the tripod legs.

Flak guy in Afrika using MG 15 for AA.

Here's some MG 15 photos I have. Enjoy! --Kevin Magazine cover of air gunner using MG 15.

Definitely looks like an MG 15 mounted for AA. I haven't seen a rear sight like that before, though. I'm especially fond of equipment and weapons photos like these.

Nice combat setup, Paul. I also like the Luftwaffe HBT tunics, which are excellent for displaying combat/field gear. I'll have to get mine in order one day. --Kevin

Luftwaffe Bomber clasp

You are unlikely to find a gold clasp in that condition for less than what you stated, so if you really want one, this is a good chance! -
Luftwaffe Bomber clasp
norwest78 replied to werner's topic in Wehrmacht Medals, Decorations & Awards
I'm having a hard time deciding if this is a bronze or gold example. Which is it? Photos can be tricky. From these photos, I like the clasp. 400 ? would be a good price for an example in gold. Probably at the high end for bronze. --Kevin
