Sergeant 08

Tom.

I just found this from my files .............. looks a bit similar.

Do you still remember?

The tunic was offered as Flammenwerfer.

American Tank Destroyer unit, as I recall .............. despite the old German newspaper cutting pasted on to the back !!

I found it in one of your old threads about unknown skull badges in WAF. Not longer a mystery.....:D

I found this skull in another old thread.

Another oddity.

From a German house clearance/estate sale.

Can't remember if I've posted this one already ..... the thread's too long!

Yes, a very long thread......posting #690. ;)

Items from this town have always a good quality and are worth the money!

Congratulations! :love:

What comes next? ;)

Here is mine!

Well done!

Meanwhile, I also managed to find one of these .................

Only two appeared, now I know where the other one is! :beer:

but everything comes to he who waits!

Yes, sometimes you have to wait. And sometimes you have to wait for a second chance.

I gave this badge to another collector in past. I have never seen another one.

Now he decided to sell his collection and I got it back! :D

I think the bones are the most interesting detail.

Freikorps skull.

And another rare photo....

The thread started with some thoughts about Minenwerfer. Here is a rare photo, which the seller described as Minenwerfer. Notice the badge!

Good luck.

I have been looking for one for 40 years.

Never give up!! :cheers:

FK Tilsit.

Yes, I know it is Freikorps Tilsit.

I'm looking for a photo of an real item. ;)

Who has ever seen this skull (right page, first row, second badge)?

The only other available information is, that in the photo album are pictures from the period 1914-1920.

Do you have a date for the last photo?

Sorry, I have no date for the photo.

What's the story behind the last three photos?

The photos are from the photo album of an officer, who was a Flammenwerfer soldier at the end of the war.

More skulls......

I'm sure, that on the prototype was a typical Imperial Brunswick skull and not a later used Wehrmacht skull pattern.

Let's all pitch in to split the cost, and then we'll take turns keeping it in our houses.

Mmmmhhh......

I think no! :lol:

Not me!

I hope all collectors think the same!

PS: It is a fake of a Wehrmacht tradition cap skull on a Pickelhaube.

Interesting description! Interesting price! Who wants to buy it?

Pionier of Pionier-Regiment 35, one of two poison-gas regiments, wearing some kind of sleeve badge. Looks like a dark skull-and-crossbones to me.

Thomas, thanks again for posting such a nice photo!

That detail looks really interesting to me. You said, the badge in the photo is a poison-gas sleeve badge?

Do you have more informations about the Regiment?
