Luftwaffe Rules

Thanks Scott, as Mr. Paul said this is very interesting indeed. I wish the picture had some sort of caption behind it! All the best, Jon

I agree which is why I was guessing its after 1943? But who knows perhaps the title is for Afrika? But does anyone know how Luftwaffe men got the Italian flying badge? TIA and all the best, Jon

I understand, heres the best I could do, the photo isnt very showing or clear as far as the eagle or the cuff title goes. It appears though to be the block lettering used on the H.G. cuff titles. Doesnt appear to be the Suterland Script (spl?). Thank you guys for the comments! Also what did a Luftwaffe personnel have to do to earn Italian wings? TIA and All the best, Jon

It does indeed have white border stripes! Wow thats awsome , how would one in the H.G. earn the Italian wings? Also here is an extreme close up, you can just make out the shape of the head so I do believe it is Italian! . And obviously with Mr. Pauls informative article on the H.G. this picture would have been taken 1943 or beyond correct? Since thats when they got rid of the white tabs with colored piping and just made the tabs have full waffenfarbe color. Thank you guys soo much for your help!!! TIA and all the best, Jon

Thanks Mr. Terry I meant the cuff title though on the Gent in the first picture, I believe what the others are wearing were called Trade Patches in which you are correct they are technical flight personel. But Im trying to find out what eagle the gent in the first picture is wearing on his left breast. TIA and all the best, Jon

Tropical Cap and 1st Version Dress Dagger.

Notice the Tropical Cap and Dress Bayonet.

Nice 2nd Version Luftwaffe Dress Dagger in this pic.

Hey all got these as a graduation present to myself . I do need help identifying the eagle the gent is wearing in this first picture. I also see that he has a cuff title, is there anyway to see what the eagle represents and then look at a database of the squadrons who wore the same eagle? TIA and all the best, Jon

Ah ok thank you gents. Then yes I agree this is a shame . All the best, Jon

Just curious since Im not read up on these but is ouch the price? Or ouch its fake? TIA and all the best, Jon

Wow thats great!! I will have to give that a try sometime! All the best, Jon

Thank you very much thats a wealth of knowledge there! All the best, Jon

Im looking into getting some Tank Destruction Badges (the silver and gold ribbon kind) over the summer and am wondering if anyone has any tips for me to point out fakes? It would be greatly appreciated! TIA and all the best, Jon

Ive not seen so much HG stuff in forever!!! I can only hope to aspire to that! I would love to get something HG. All the best, Jon

This is a GREAT visor cap sir! I love it! All the best, Jon

Last one for now . All the best, Jon

Great photos!! That first one you posted looks alot like Vin Diesel with hair! Heres mine . All the best, Jon

Very nice pics, if I may add a signed one from my collection. All the best, Jon

Am posting this on behalf of Butch who is a member here. I have pointed out to him what I do like and dont like about this piece but I suggested you guys give it your opinions b/c Im not very versed in these. TIA and all the best, Jon

Thanks Rattle . What is the patch in yours?? Ive not seen that before but then again I dont know much about Kriegsmarine stuff. These pics are great!! It really shows how nice we at home can make something! All the best, Jon Also added a little something to my original photo.

Here we go as promised, the small grouping is now together . Very nice look IMO . All the best, Jon

This is an amazing thread, Im almost ashamed to show what it inspired me to do lol. My lighting isnt as good as you alls and neither is the quality of my camera but I tried and I like it pretty well for my first try. Hope you enjoy all the best, Jon
