Congratulations on obtaining that fine piece. Regards, Justin

I too, am looking forward to this publication. Looks great! Regards, Justin

That is a great photo/postcard. Nice that the Buoy/lifesaving ring has both tender and flottille listed. Great find. You have some great schnellboot items Eric; I can only hope that in the future to have the schnellboot muetzenbands like you. Regards, Justin

I am submitting my two latest tallies. The Unterseebootsflottille Hundius and the Unterseebootsflottille Lohs. All I need is just the Unterseebootsflottille Emsmann. If anyone has one, I would love to add this to complete the Unterseebootsflottille tallies. PLEASE!!! (with a cherry on top) Regards, Justin 2dresq

GAB #2 told was a Juncker. Thanks, JustinG

First GAB. This was thought to be a Gustav Brehmer example from the WAF gentlemen.

Here is the 2nd one. Much appreciation fellows. Regards, Justin 2dresq

Greetings, I just acquired these from Collectors Guild. I am very pleased but, am not as experienced with Heer awards. Can anyone help identify a maker for these two? Much appreciation. Justin 2dresq

Very nice indeed. regards, 2dresq

The eagle is holding the swastika backwards. Regards, Justin 2dresq

could you post some circumference measurement please. Is the eagle on the back holding a backwards swastika? I don't know what this could be or attempting to be. (That doesn't mean too much as I am not as knowledgeable as many here.) Regards Justin 2dresq

Thanks for looking. Regards, Justin 2dresq

My F&R example. Regards, JustinG

close up of maker mark.

back of 1st.

Some of my Tank badges. Hope you enjoy. Regards, Justin 2dresq

Very nice badges guys (Norm and Gordon) Regards, Justin 2dresq

Better pictures of the U-flottille tally. Regards, Justin

Am I missing something. This sailor has a minesweeper badge. I don't see a destroyer badge. A nice picture though. Martin W. Quite a find. You seem to have some recent fortune finding photos from the HSK Stier. Regards, JustinG

Spectacular tally. Really in great condition; it will look nice with your Scharnhorst tally. Glad to help. Regards, Justin 2dresq

Ok, Who was the one who was going to try to get the Unterseebootsflottille Wegener tally from me? There was two of you? Hmmmm Well, you can relax and know it is going to a good home. Regards, JustinG

Digging out this thread. Just saw the catalog on page one, the black and white example. Pretty interesting. I noted that there was the LW Panzer Assault badge as well as the LW High seas badge. Pretty interesting that those were '57 pieces issued for these awards. Have never seen an accepted TR period award like this. Wouldn't think it would be profitable for a manufacturer to produce these awards since there was not many who qualified for these awards. Regards, 2dresq Justin

This is from John Angolia's "Die Kriegsmarine Uniforms and Traditions" Vol2. Page 294. This doesn't state when the supply of uniforms were available for the front line boats like the U-99 U-30 and others. From reading books like Donitz's Crews, and Torpedo Los, and other wonderful examples. The U-boat commanders and crews were able to adapt their uniforms almost to what the boat captain or group commander allowed. I'll bet that sailors probably continued to keep those French/british coats with a KM breast eagle on board and in their rotation. Hope this helps. Regards, JustinG

Haven't got one yet... I have seen several examples. That Marineschle Mürwik I believe is probably one of the most popular tallies. In Gordon Williamson's "TORPEDO LOS" book, the Mürwik school is cited as one where many U-boat commanders passed through. I would like to see your example Erich.

Here are some others. This is my last of the Torpedoboots, and the Horst Wessel, All USCG members here should look at getting one of these. It is now the USCGC Eagle. Regards, Justin 2dresq
