Here is another set of mine. The tress is metallic. I forgot to post them with my last pics!

This new bar is heading my way from Bill Dienna. It is awesome because of the duel Leningrad medals. It comes complete with the research! I cannot wait to share it with you all!

Thanks! I appreciate it. What you say makes complete sense to me. It is still a righteous and complete grouping.

It is a nice looking piece. Can you please give us some close ups of the maker marks, serial numbers, and codes?

I dont typically collect Heer, but I was intrigued by this inexpensive but high ranking board found at the local militaria show. It comes from Roger Bender himself. What can I say? It called my name!

Now that is a beauty worth having!! Panzer Staff Company? It looks perfect to me!

I found this little gem at a local militaria show!! It was a real suprise to find it hiding in a "junk" box!

Kriegschule Unteroffizier.

Here is a set for the personnel assigned to the Luftschutz(SHD Members physically qualified to join the LW for the purpose of air raid response). Rank of this set is Obergrefeiter.

Next up is an Grefeiter set up for the 32nd Flak Fortress Reg.

I picked these shoulder boards up at the BAM show this past weekend. It was a great show for me, as I was able to find these items at prices FAR below the market rate. I am glad to be able to add these to the collection. The shoulder boards are displayed with collar tabs, sleeve insignia, and eagle already in my collection. The only exception is the Hauptgrefeiter strips, which I found also at the show. Here is the 73rd Flak Reg. set displayed for a Hauptgrefeiter.

Great to see you back. I just returned from a militaria show today, where there were a couple of lt grade tabs, but nothing I dont already have. Do you have any new additions?

Lovely Prussian Lifesaving Medal.

I do not have a Mac... :- ( Thanks for looking in the database. The next step is having someone research the numbers. I heard that the database is incomplete, with the Navy, predecesor of the KGB, and medical corps not being availble there yet.

I hear you. Without being able to decipher what is written in the book, I cannot do much. I cannot tell what the individual letters are unless they are typed.

That is interesting in it's own right! I look forward to seeing what you are able to come up with later.

Your infantry collection is really something Chris.

Agreed! Minty insignia there!

What is a Char. General? Is this an honorary position? Did it result in a higher pension?

Thank you for sharing yours. It is a cool piece.

Perfect!! Thank you!

I am sorry... I thought that I did. Here is a shot of the name. Thank you again for your help. I cannot decipher the script most of the typed letter... I know now how it feels to be illiterate! Paul

I look forward to seeing them! Thank you!

The pinback versions are really nice. How many were awarded of each class?

Thanks for the link, but I do not understand the language or have a cyrillic keyboard... :- (
