I am glad I did not see it then. I probably would have had to have it and went into debt. Nice bar! Congrats!

Very nice hat! It would make a great addition to any collection (including mine, Hint, Hint ) Again, nice piece!

Where was this bar offered?

Nice photos and info jacques!!!

I do not have them in front of me but I believe the Roger Bender/Angolia 2-Volume set on the HJ covers the markings on the reverse of these pretty well. I was looking at that very section a month or so ago but I cannot remember what they were exactly...worth a look.

My photography skills are not as good as others but here is another pic I had laying around.

No headgear at all other than the Picklehaub? Come on guys....

That is a nice RAD grouping Rick!

I believe I read once that @ Monte Casino somehow the "word" got leaked that the the allies were going to use gurkhas in the next assault on some portion of the German lines that was being a particularly tough nut to crack and when the assault happened the German positions were found to be empty. I do not know enough about the battle and/or the Gurkha unit history therein to know if it indeed happened but it certainly makes for good reading.

Here are some NCO boards I once owned.

There was also an Artillery Ranging Beamte shown too for "bright red"...are these "bright red" or a crimson though...?

Red, they match up in color quite well to a pair of Heer Artillery Officer boards I have.

Too bad you couldn't use actual pieces on your chart instead of generic colors (not busting your balls), it is just that the "chart" would be a bit more accurate, even w/dye variations and fading. I am sure I have scans of various tabs I have had in the past if you'd like them.
