Very impressive!!

Thank God they do not give this one to Coasties... I am just glad that I do not have to wear it!

Congrats! I love those pre-1914 bars.

Great job! That is a great buckle!

Fred, You have some amazing pieces in there!!!

I will go through my scans when I get home tonight, or tomorrow(Daughter is in a Christmas Play tonight).

WOW!!! How did you do that?!?!? Some of those were in really bad shape!

Awesome new pieces! The partisan bar is stunning!

Here is a better view... I would love to see one of these on a Tunic!

Some nice and rare ribbons in that one!!

Great additions! I love the Prussian/Austrian Bar!

Thanks for sharing your great tabs with us! The only ones that have me wondering are the HG tabs. I really like the medical set!

Well, that goes without saying!! The pockets would have to be full of cut off HG tabs and cuff titles! LOL Steve, I have such a tigerstripe garment I picked up at a GI surplus store about 22 years ago. I think I paid five dollars for it(I have no idea what they are worth now). I used to wear it to school. it is in my old boxes of stuff in Texas! Maybe we could work something out when I go home!(I have not been south in over 10 years). Regards Paul

Mintly looking cross!!

This is the first time I have ever seen the blood order on a LW tunic... much less a HG wrapper! Awesome photo! Mike, Thanks for bringing this topic back to the top! Your photo is the only one I have ever seen of Hitler displaying his Blood Order. Thanks for sharing it with us! Do you know the circumstances of this photo?

Hi Ed, I do not have evidence, but was the officer who recommended hitler for his EK1 supposed to be Jewish?

next shot. note the strange marks on the buckram.

Same seller, same .95 cent start and 99 dollar buy it now. These pre 31Dec39 tabs are a bit scary. The facing material(strange corderoy) seems to be the same type as on the Flight Oberst tabs. The addition of the strange aging on the reverse seems odd to me. I would love some more experienced input on these. http://cgi.ebay.com/WWII-RARE-ORIG-LUFTWAF...1QQcmdZViewItem

and the back! Looks like a direct hit by a lighter.

Next... seems as if the looser fibers are a bit singed the "roughed up".

Here are pieces currently circulating on Ebay. This one looks as if it has been hit by a torch... talk about artificial aging! http://cgi.ebay.com/WWII-LUFTWAFFE-RARE-OR...1QQcmdZViewItem
