A wonderful collection! Would love to see close-ups of the uniform insignia, wings, patches etc...
-
Period photos indicate there was a bit of turmoil as the DLV morphed into the Luftwaffe in 1935-36: LW members (officer & enlisted) wearing DLV belt buckles, DLV hats, etc. Who knows, Harrier's visor may have started life as a DLV cap (?)

Superb visor Harrier - thanks for posting it!
-
It's an Army sport shirt eagle - for the exercise kit. Quite common; 'collector value' perhaps US$20?

Stunning display - well done. -
Thank you Jacques. It matched an old, old photo of a silver L/21 in my files, but I wasn't sure if was still thought to be authentic or not. The owner was worried about the pin, which looks a bit like a Floch EK1. However, as you said, this cross retains the details of an original L/21.

Kriegsmarine U-Boat Badge Design
Scott replied to Gordon Williamson's topic in Wehrmacht Medals, Decorations & Awards
Facinating study Gordon - thank you. Personally, I find the Juncker Eagle the 'strongest' and most visually pleasing. (Your lizard looks like it can't wait to pounce on each one!) -

Posting for a friend this Foerster & Barth Gold Spanish Cross w/Swords, marked L/21 on the pin. All comments regarding authenticity welcome. Thanks!

Great cap - I really like the unit stamp under the sweatband.

Nice looking crosses Tim.

Looks like his DLV uniform (pre-Luftwaffe, 1933-35/36). -
Hmmm - something not quite right here...

Thank you Charlie - I'd not heard that term used in militaria collecting before.

I don't frequent EBay, but I'll bet Rex Reddick gets his repro tabs from the same source ... http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=36225

What is a "SLEEPER" helmet?

I always get nervous when I see minty-fresh ribbons on a bar with medals showing moderate to heavy age/patina...

Finally found a home for my gold mother's cross
Scott replied to Sivart's topic in State, Civil Awards & Decorations
Looks great! -
The one offered on WAF is a volume 3 - but it's still not a bad price for that one.

Here is a crown comparison I have in my files - I think it matches what Dolfek said.

Luftwaffe Lw mannequins
Scott replied to werner's topic in Germany: Third Reich: Uniforms, Headwear, Insignia & Equipment
Very nice, Werner! Thank you for sharing your photos with us. -
Charlie, LW Officer visor caps usually have bullion eagles, while enlisted/NCO caps have metal eagles (officer visors usually have silver, not white piping). However, I have seen period photos of officer caps with metal eagles, although that's fairly unusual. NCO Officer Candidates were authorized to wear officer visor caps.

Thank you gentlemen!
