      Close up of the shoulder strap.

      Insignia shot. You can make out where a set of cyphers were removed from the shoulder straps. Were they ordered removed at some point? What numbers should be there? "49"?

      Due to the spacing on the loops, it is relatively easy to rule out which badges go where. The huge space on the upper center set means it could only belong to a Flak or Ground Assault badge. While both are possible, the Flak makes the most sense. The other two seem most likely to be a sports badge on the Left and a Would Badge on the Right. Are there any other realistic combinations?
    4. Paul R
      There are loops present for three badges. The ribbon bar was fed through holes already present. The ribbon bar originally present was an Ohio Parts Fraud, so I replaced it with the best choice I had in my collection. With the help of Hardy, who is very intimate with the history of the unit, I will try to find a ribbon bar that is most appropriate.

      This beauty arrived in the mail yesterday. Since we are on an "items with history kick" , the timing on this piece is impeccable. Many LW collectors find nothing special about Flak related items, but this beauty will hold a special place in my collection.

      Unit stamp on the chin strap(Does that count as a name)? If not, perhaps you got it from the original vet or his family?

      That is what I thought. I just wanted to be sure before I placed it into the fakes bin. At least I will feel comfortable placing a more fitting ribbon bar on the tunic! Thanks Ricky.

      Those pieces are absolutely stunning.

      This is ribbon bar was matched up with a tunic I bought. I have a bad feeling about it. What is the consensus?
    12. Paul R
      I would be sad to let such a piece go. I can see why you kept it.

      Thanks Francois. Is it still possible to find the proper batteries to make them operate?

      Very nice score!! Can you please post a clear closeup of the eagle?
    15. Paul R
      I am not liking the hinge on this one. It is the type I have seen on many crudely cast badges. I hope that I am wrong.

      Francois, On the third light, are there color filters? Paul

      Again, I only see little white boxes with the smaller red "x"s. Are the photos uploaded directly to the forum? If not, can you please do so? Regards Paul

      Now that is a great piece. I have never seen such imagination used with a denazification!
    19. Paul R
      Hi Noor, Are the photos uploaded directly to the site? I do not see anything other than the little white boxes with the red "x".
    20. Paul R
      Thanks guys! I do wish it could talk.
    21. Paul R
      Thanks Nesredep! Thanks Snoopy!! I am still really excited to see it. It adds a lot of color to the closet!

      I hope that Ibrahim does not mind me reposting these, so that everyone can see them.
