Bill, Here is the tag... Rich, What other photos are you wanting to see?

Thanks Guys. What other detailed shots are you wanting? I will ask the owner. Regards Paul

It looks like wool to me. Beautiful specimen.

Paul, Those are some awesome finds. I really like the US WW2 ribbon bar. I have never seen those last two ribbons on a US rack before. What was the Italian medal awarded for(criteria wise)?

Hello Alexandre, Medical Generals in the luftwaffe used the standard white collar tabs and shoulder boards. The only difference would be the addition of the medical cypher to the shoulder boards. http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=18357 Judicial was a bit more involved. Prior to 1944, all Judicial and Courtsmartial personnel were Administrative Officials. Justice Officials wore Wine Red collar tabs and nebenfarbe on the boards and Courtsmartial Officials wore bordeaux red. collar tabs and nebenfarbe on the shoulder boards. The General Officers the colored insignia with gold embroidery on the tabs. At some point, the collar tabs were changed to the common dark green Admin tabs(the nebenfarbe on the shoulder boards remained the same for personnel under the rank of General). http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=17433 During 1944, the TSD came on line. The TSD had two branches... TSD Judical and TSD Admin. TSD Judical had the wine red collar tabs and shoulder board underlay(configured like regular Luftwaffe). The shoulder boards had the sword cypher. http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=16844 Please see the related links. Regards Paul

Thanks Snoopy!! I would have never guessed. What publication should I get that explains this? Paul

I dont see anything wrong with it either. I love it and find it very special.

You are doing very well!! Congrats on the Motherhood awards!

Thanks Guys!! I just wish it were mine!!

Thanks guys, for the great compliments. I really appreciate it! I am still very psyched about it!!

Super collection, Brian!! I love the Lifesaving medal series!

I received this baby in the mail today. Thank you! The board is for a Major in the Hermann Goering Division!

That tunic is simply amazing. By the looks of it, the pictured tunic was the one he wore in the field?

Thanks guys!! I really love the KVK stuff! Perhaps one day the rosters will come out for the lower officer rankings. I still dont understand how the advancement system works for the Admin Officials. I know that Sonderfuhrer were brought in at a certain paygrade and did not advance further. What about the Admin officials? What is the difference between an Amtsrat and a Regierungsrat?

A single for Meteorology!

With representative medal and insignia!

New in!! An awesome KVK1 citation to an Admin Regierungsrat

Document with correct insignia for the awardee!!

With award!

I acquired this beauty in a trade!! It is one for the books! The awardee is a Luftwaffe Administrative Regierungsrat(Major).

A nice EK1 would be an awesome centerpiece.

When he told me about his new addition on Sunday, I did not know what to expect. It seemed a bit far fetched to me... until he sent the photos. I would give a kidney for one of those tabs and boards! lol

The eagles were embroidered then applied to the tab. I dont think that they would snap off. I will ask the owner if he can make some more images.

I hope that you have enjoyed these images as much as I. As you can see in the first image(peeking out of the neck opening, the Lampassen had the white stripes common with Generals in the LW. http://www.geocities.com/~orion47/WEHRMACH...L_GUENTHER.html
