It seems like Angolia lists his colors differently than we are used to seeing them. For example... Carmine is known commonly for General staff and Veterinarian. Well, he names the color Crimson. Weinrot is known commonly for Judicial Officers. He names the color Carmine. Angolia names the color seen on arty boards as "bright red". So, with that in mind, I matched the colors and come up with the possiblities of your set. BTW, your set is very nice! Those upper level sets are hard to come by! As far as a Artillery Measuring Service, you are correct! I missed it when making my last reply! Thank you for the correction. For some strange reason, he(Angolia) has a (?) next to this entry...

I wonder how the term "mint" came to be associated with "pristine"? Unless we are talking about coins, I have not a clue

This is awesome!!! Thanks guys!!

Thanks Mike! Interesting sentiment! Am I correct in my theory of the address being an American? Strange address though!! Where is the destination address?

This is what I have for possibilities for the Bright Red Secondary Waffenfarbe(that matches the arty waffenfarbe) 1. Military Area Administration and Intendant's Servcie 2. Agricultural Service 3. Sound Ranging Service BTW, I am using "Uniforms and Traditions of the German Army" vol 2 by Angolia and Schlicht as a reference for this thread!(Chapter 14!)

Nice Example of this award! Most of them were Spanish post war makes! Yours appear to be one of those hard to find period pieces!!!

close ups!

The good part!

A translation of this document would be most appreciated! I cannot even make out the letters in most of the script! I was given this post card by a friend of mine(co worker!!)!

Juan, Awesome tunic! The white secondary waffenfarbe is one of the more common used colors. This Officer could have been: 1. Food Supply Service 2. Garrison Administration 3. All Officials of the medium non-technical career field 4. Pay Master 5. Barracks Admin(Lower Career) 6. Transport Service 7. Disabled Persons and Veteran's Affairs fknorr, Is the waffenfarbe on your insignia pink or red? Paul

Well, I have some great feedback from LTC Angolia on these tabs... here are his words: " ...As for the Luft General der Flieger collar patches, in my opinion, these are period original even though they glow. I had Ramcke's Fliegerbluse directly from the family. His collar patches and shoulder board underlay glowed... " Although no one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes, his words make me feel comfortable in these tabs. Thank you all for your input on this topic. REgards Paul

I have never seen... or for that matter... even heard of this style of medal bar! Are these ultra rare or have I just been unlucky not to have seen these?

Thank you for the ID! The entire lot is for sale for 60 dollars! Does that price sound fair? The ribbons sound pretty rare!

OK... The Lt Brown Waffenfarbe could represent one of the following: 1. Barracks Administrator 2. A non technical instructor at a professional school. The Lt Blue is for judical administrators. The bright red secondary waffenfarbe had MANY possiblities!

Very nice examples! I will hit the Angolia books when I get home and post what career fields these boards represent! Thanks for posthing them!!!! Keep em coming!!! Paul

Very nice!

Thanks Ed... Darned fakers take the fun outta everything!

Realy cool chart! I have not seen this one? Did you make it? Hi John! There are a couple off the top of my mind as well. 1. Supply/early Field police Lt Blue 2. Field Police(post 1943) Orange(enlisted) 3. Signals(until Apr 1938)- Light Brown 4. Field Division Grass Green TSD(Officers only) 1. Judicial- Wine Red 2. Troop Services, other- Light Blue Admin As Larry stated plus Rose Pink with wreath and propellars for ing. NOTE- black would also be for the Air Ministry Staff.

Those medals are beautiful! I think I will check out Ebay now!

Here are another set of tabs that do not fit into the norms of what I have seen as originals+

Hi! I found this lot of items on ebay(Fire Fighter, WW2 insignia). What are the ribbons on the bottom left ribbon bar with the HK? Paul

I have never seen those shoulder tabs before!!! Very interesting photo!! Do you think that the uniform was specific to the area/unit?
