I have never heard of this award before. What is the number on the back?

I am blown away! That is an amazing collection. I had never even heard of BW Panzer berets, and you have two of them! That medical officer tunic is absolutely gorgeous! I love how the blue color surrounds the sleeve patch. I have never seen the waffenfarbe displayed in this manner. Was this a short lived practice?

The reason I love the EM admin tunics so much are the shoulder boards!!

I love the collar piping!

Depot stamps. I wish I could make out the unit information.

My girl took these photos and watermarked them. She is much better than I am, with photography.

It just came in a couple of days ago. It is better than I could have imagined..

The first photo does not seem to want to expand when I click on it, so here is another.

Notice the blue one... this was an unauthorized tab, as medical personnel attached to the LWFD were supposed to wear the solid blue tabs. The wear and age on the piping(which came from the cord used on the tunic collars) and the tab are the same, so I am very happy with this being a period item.

Here is what I have for LW Field Divison tabs so far. I am only missing two that I know of...

Most awesome collection. Can you please post some closeups of the medical tunic?

Awesome stuff Megan. Thank you!

Yes!! Please post away. I look forward to seeing your collection!!

Yes!! Welcome on board Tom!

Hi! You are right. The Admin, Judicial, Air Traffic Control Officials, and etc did have triangles instead of eagle. In November of 1944; however, the Luftwaffe(and other branches of service) were having problems with meeting the manpower needs of the Officer Corps, so came up with a plan to help create more officers. This plan involved augmenting physically qualified LW Beamte of certain specialties into the military as regular officers, instead of keeping them as non military officials. This created the TSD triad: Judicial(JAG, Judges, and etc)- Wine red waffenfarbe Admin(Pay and personnel, supply, and etc)- Light Blue waffenfarbe Construction(civil engineers and etc)- Black waffenfarbe As a part of this shift, they traded in their admin/officials insignia for the new military version. Regards Paul

Did they start making the sizes bigger all of a sudden...? :-D

Thank you for sharing this amazing grouping.

Heer Honor Roll Clasp. It is a button hole ribbon attachment. It places between the DGiK and the RK in seniority.

That is pretty recent. Thank you.

Very interesting! Thanks for posting! Does anyone have any medals from Rawanda in their collections? When were these orders and medals established?

Wow! That is something I have never seen before. IT is not tied to the military at all though.

Those are some sweet boards from a major unit!

In a nutshell, what does it say? I notice that it comes from a medical General...

Please let me know if you find any CG PHs. I would sell something to get a few.

Does anyone else have any Nigerian militaria?
