Luftwaffe Assman observer

I believe this is tombak with nickel-silver plating. A horizontal pin assembly was put on; in fact, it appears that the usual vertical setup was never there, or else it was expertly removed. I'd love to have your thoughts on this one. Regards, Kevin

Hello Fran?ois. I'm afraid I can't get an image any more clear than the one you posted above. It looks to me like a four-leaf clover. --Kevin

I'm afraid I'm going to have to dig through a few boxes to find the photo. I'll post when I find it! Regards, Kevin

Do you mean that little diamond-shaped thing on his left lapel? I'll try my best later this evening.

Luftwaffe Water container
norwest78 replied to Snoopy's topic in Germany: Third Reich: Uniforms, Headwear, Insignia & Equipment
I've seen 5l, 10l, 18l (backpack), and 20l (jerry can) sizes. I'm told that there's also a 15l size. I personally have only the 5 and 10l sizes, two of each. I purchased an 18l type about a year ago, but it never arrived. -
That's a nice little tidbit, Hardy. Thank you!

The stitching of the piping is virtually invisible, as it is underneath the center of the piping. Here you can see a stitch just barely peeking out. --Kevin

This weekend finds

Not bad for a weekend's work! What's the smaller pouch in the first picture? --Kevin -
Luftwaffe Juncker RO/AG (named)

Wow, nice catch there! -
Hi Joe, There is no acceptance stamp on mine, and I don't know of any association with Patrick Caldwell. Great set you have there!
-
Very observant of you, Eric. Thank you!
-
What do you guys think of these? Proper tabs? --Kevin
-
Very nice of you to post those, Andreas. Now, unfortunately, I'm going to have to pester you for yours.

And here it is, the lucky find!

For a couple of years, I've had a grouping of photos that follow a LW soldier through various stages in his career. Then the other day on ebay, I spotted another photo of him. What's more, the photo showed him at a later stage, when he'd received his EK1 and NCO promotion. Quite a coincidence, and I'm happy to say that I was able to get the photo at auction. It is the last one posted here. Regards, Kevin

Nice assortment, Fran?ois! What's in that little pouch that's under the flap of the bag in the upper left?

Besides the hardware, that's a very interesting-looking bird, Jos. The tail shows exaggerated "scalloping" on the end, whereas most tails are cut very "straight". --Kevin
