I have never seen a three magazine pouch before!! Beyond nice!!
-
Trust me! I understand completely!! -
Thats right! I think that the Feldgrau straps started to be issued in 1940. Do you ever regret parting with any of your treasures?
-
Are the boards dark green or black?
-
You are right!! These are not common at all!! Nice used example!
-
So you are the lucky "new" owner!
-
That is the first piped Panzer Grenadier Service tunic I have seen!!! You had one hell of a TR Collection!
-
I dont know anything about camo uniforms, but I do have to admit that it is a sharp set! Do you know anything of it's history?
-
The M44 style of shoulder boards are by far, my favorite. Lets see how many waffenfarben are out there! Post yours!

DDR My DDR awards collection
Paul R replied to Grant Broadhurst's topic in Germany: Post 1945: Bundesrepublik & DDR
I have not seen to many of the 30 years of the National Volks Army medals around!! They are attractive! Is this a Juiblee medal? Did everyone in the military get one? -
Snoopy, That is an interesting piece of military! It looks like a scapula bone to a horse. Larry, That is a great board and tab set!! I have not seen a 12 before! Bob, Thank you for sharing your collection of Flak items. I love the vehicle pendants! Did August's grouping come with any other pieces? Did you get this from the vet himself?
-
What is the normal going price of these restrikes? They look awesome!
-
What a beautiful piece from an unexpected place. I bet it harbors some interesting stories!!
-
Another great item!! Can you please post some closeups?
-
I would be careful... Many of the medals seem to be significantly out of order... Do you have other photos of the bar to post?
-
DDR New medalbar has me confused !
Paul R replied to Grant Broadhurst's topic in Germany: Post 1945: Bundesrepublik & DDR
I am no expert on DDR awards, but from my experience these do not belong together. I think that this is a made up bar. The Brotherhood in Arms medals were for the regular military and border guard, as far as I know. I look forward to more input from the more experienced. -
Another great collection there! I love collection these decorations. These were truly earned through a great deal of pain and sacrifice!
-
Another great grouping, Harvey! To think that this grouping belonged to one of the men in the photo!!
-
Hi, Based upon everything I see, it appears that this Austrian worked his way through the ranks to achieve the rank of Oberfeldwebel. The trade badges(crossed cannons) indicate that he was an armorer to a Hermann Goering Div unit. I look forward to seeing the uniforms as well!!
-
Great stuff, Snoopy and Naxos!!!
-
Wow! That pushes the date back a little more. The photos I have are of Band members in Belgium in 1940.
-
Talking about non regulation, ... notice anything? I have seen this a lot on LW members outside of Germany. I am still trying to find the regulation on when the wear of the national insignia became required on the tunics for LW members outside Germany. I am guessing that these photos are pre 1941.

The paint sequences on your aircraft models are second to none! How long does it take you to complete one?
-
