KM-SPAIN

Front side.

Hello all, I posted this before the upgraiding but it was delete, so I try again. This is a UBoot bagde that I have in my collection for more than 10 years. In all reference books it sopouse that this maker marked his badges whit a BSW inside a three leafed clover, but this is marked with complete name, "BRUDER SCHNIEDER A.G. WIEN". Until now I never have seen any UBoot badge of this maker, like mine or with the BSW mark, so I really don't know if mine is original or not. The finish of the badge, the size, the material, everything looks ok. Look that in the stamp the letters "EI" of schneider is changed by "IE". This could be a mistake or a bad finished of a copy. Any coment will be very apreciated, thanks in advence. Eduardo

Inside.

Rick, tha admiral jacket was made in Hamburg, but unfortunately never has had inside label with the name of the ower. The alter art has the maker stamp from Wilhemshaven inside the leather band. Some pictures more. Regards. Eduardo

Sextant in aluminium.

Sextant in bronze.

Back.

The Narvik shield is in gold with fiel-grey underlay, but to be honest I'm not really sure about its originality. The fiel-grey color of the cloth it is exactly just as the one used by the kriegsmarine. Opinions???

Just some chronos, rules, maps, .... I would like to see your kriegsmarine items. Regards. Eduardo

Finally, a general picture of some emblems and caps. Look the alter art and the field cap model 42, both really rare. Best regards. Eduardo

Collar patches on cornflower blue, just as the shoulder board underlay.

And the admiral field-grey tunic. This is custom tailored high quality, with inside lower pockets as the kriegsmarine models.

The collar patches.

Here a moleskin tunic war time transformed to officer. Eagle is of the machine-woven model.

I have seen in the WA forum a topic about the kriegsmarine fieldgrey uniforms, but to put there this pictures I have to pay and I can not understand that, so I would like to start a new one here and I hope that it is of your interest. Fist an NCO tunic. Regards to all. Eduardo

Clomplete, with the box and the tops.

The size label.

The insade.

I found this one some years ago with the box, one blue top and two different white tops. On the leather sweatband is still the cardboard size label. Best. Eduardo

I agrre with you Gordon, but this is real and have two diferent Kriegsmarine control stamps with eagle and M on left side and roman numbers on the right side. The only information that have be able to find is that the units of the Warndienst of RLB were integrated on the Kriegsmarine Helferinen air service units, could they mantein this gorget and stamped by the navy depots latter??,...., I really don't know, but for me is one of the most interesting items in my collection. If anybody has any idea about this item and his history please tell me. Regards. Eduardo

Any coment or information about this rare item.

And finally the kriegsmarine???? control stamps.
