Sergeant 08

And the "brother".

Such skull flag things are very interesting.

No Freikorps period, but Leibhusaren....

The military section of the Reichsbanner: SF = Schutzformationen!

Armband!

Sergeant, thanks for your comment!

I hope I will be soon able to enrich my Reichsbanner collection with the cloth kokarde.

Here I attach a photo of the only other Reichsbanner item I have, a membership pin, definitely not that rare.

I have seen many Reichsbanner items which were far more interesting..different types of belt buckles, flags, flag tips, armbands..

I would be very interested in seeing your collection!

Regards,

GC

You want some more Reichsbanner pieces?

OK, here we go! ;)

here's a somewhat scarce item. i don't think these are frequently encountered, as they were worn between a relatively short time frame.

does anyone have pics of this item in wear?

Here is the badge on a uniform.

Nice collection of Reichsbanner Kokarden! It shouldn't be a problem to find the other Kokarde with cloth eagle on ebay. It is not for sale there everyday, but I have already seen a few of these pieces during last years.

PS: Do you have other things like armbands etc. from the Reichsbanner? I'm interested in that theme, too. ;)

It was the very first appearance of the black skull patch, months (or weeks) before antikfuchs sold it (or sold one).

The Berlin based seller described it as a WWI patch of the "Nebelwerfer-Truppe". This mix of branch knowledge and error (for someone who had proposed many a militaria item in the past) made me very sceptical at the time.

I would be really interesting to see the photos of that auction.

But I guess nobody had saved the photos......so it can't help us. :rolleyes:

Bravo!

It seems the things from the "Schwarze Brigade" want always coming home to daddy. :D :D

Recently I got a newspaper with an article about the history of the Wehrwolf in Limbach. It was written that the Ortsgruppe was one of the first Ortsgruppen in Sachsen. And the Ortsgruppe was later part of the so called “Schwarze Brigade” in 1933.

Congratulations!

Thanks! The Fahnennagel came with a stein that has a lettering from a veterans organization in Limbach in Sachsen. Why is it so interesting? Both pieces came from the same person. So it is possible that the Fahnennagel was from the Wehrwolf Ortsgruppe in Limbach.

Up to now it was a really good time for a Wehrwolf collector in 2012. :whistle:

Time for a short break of the Flammenwerfer theme!

I have managed to get this nice Wehrwolf piece and it was in the mail today. :)

The more they try to fake this badge, the more encouraged I become!

No doubt Stefan thinks likewise.

Robin,

did you notice? They tried to copy the details of your skull (bones etc.). Details of my skull look a little bit different.

PS: I think they made more than two big mistakes. ;)

Die schwarze Hand.

But ............... the Erlangen/Bruessow photos are dated '1919' on the back !

Yes, I know. I did not mean it is a Wehrwolf in your photos.

It could be nice Neusilber skulls on the tabs in photo #1157.

And don't forget the Wehrwolf! They used similar tabs sometimes.

What a coincidence! The same photo appears on the back cover of my new book, which will be published fairly soon.

Only the back cover?

I hoped, it could find the way on the front cover. :cheers:

Just a nice pic to keep the thread going ...............

In this case you will surely like this picture. ;)

Hi Leute!

Mfg

Chris

Die Suche nach einem 100% originalen Stück, war auch schon mehrfach Thematik im Feldgrau Forum:

Hallo Chris,

Viel Glück mit diesem Test. Ich werde den Mitgliedern des Feldgrau Forums darüber erzählen.

MfG,

Chip

Hallo Chip,

ich habe es im Feldgrau Forum gelesen. Vielleicht wäre es noch gut, dort einen direkten Link zu diesem Forum zu veröffentlichen. Dann findet man es leichter!

Stefan

I hope, all collectors will use this material during next winter months! ;)

Freikorps, Marine, Panzer.......in those days after war anything was possible.

Why not a black skull?

Gorget is similar, but BW TK.

I've been unable to get on to GMIC for about 2 months ......... now I'll be catching up on all the missed posts!

Good to see that you are back!
