Hi

This link shows a auction for a similar set- no markings though

www.liveauctioneers.com/item/9090251

The only ones Im dodgy on are the SS ones- the others appear to have period fastners

Maybe worth seeing if the makers marks come up as known repro

Close up

Hi Bill

The second 2 pairs of links appear to be good ie aged etc. the first set appear to be based on the SS cap button. Are there any markings on any of the sets?

Perce

Hi Guys

You just got to love film props

One of my friends got me this jacket to dispay badges on

Its a black SS jacket- nicely built - the label inside is for Morris Angel and sons- Shaftsbury- dated 1957

Not original but failry effective to look at

Cheers

Hi Dave

Thanks very much

Your right about the 3rd one it has the inscription you mentioned on the back. First Bulgarian medals I've seen

Cheers

Perce

Communist Bulgaria

15 Years in the Armed Forces

10 Years in the Interior Ministry

The last appears from the front to be the combat merit medal, but the ribbon is wrong. The ribbon is for the Medal "100th Anniversary of April Uprising 1876-1976". The reverse of the combat merit medal should have a star and the text "ЗА БОЕВА ЗАСЛУГА" ("For combatant merit").

Hi Guys

What medals are these?-Ii got them with a few Russian ones and I dont recognise them

Any help gratefuly received

Cheers

Perce

Hi

Thanks for that- how do you differentiate Luftwaffe shoulser straps from Heer?

Doesn't really matter as I only paid £6:90 for all three

Cheers

Perce

Having these listings is valuable information to both historians and medal collectors. Thankyou Chris for taking the time to reasearch - and indeed type it all out. The M/cycle corps served in East Africa - the bicycles proved inadequate and they imported some 400 B.S.A's from England.

Thanks Perce. So, is this one still worn? If not, can you tell me when it was discontinued please?

Ed

I also have an armband that I have not been able to identify. Perhaps you could help? It is also British. It is red with the yellow letters MOV. Any ideas?

Hi

That is the brassard from the working dress uniform and the rank is Sgt. A better quality wool one is worn with the No1 Dress uniform. Rank is now worn on the shoulder.
