The following are pictures of the Gab I have a chance to buy. The guy syas it is an unmarked CWL. Please let me know if I should Buy it. Thanks

Do you mean "GWL" - Gebruder Wegerhoff (Ludenscheid)? They only made hollow GAB"s. There is NO "CWL" to the best of my knowledge. Hope this helps

Hello Thankyou. If I were to post a picture of the badge do you think you could Authenticate it?

Hello- Does any of the members have a picture of a solid back CWL GAB? If so could you post it here or send it to my email at dwood76545@aol.com I have an opportunity to buy an unmarked Gab and the guy says it is a GWL, but it is solid backed and I can only find pictures of stamped or scooped out backs of the GWL. Can Anyone help me? Thanks Dan

2nd one (Medaglia al Valor Militare, silver, not gold as Marseille)

Hey great pics of Rommel, first where did they come from? A book I am unaware of? Lastly are they real color photos or as I suspect artificially colored? Dan

Hello- It was an italian award, they gave him many medals, Pictures I have of him in uniform when He first went to africa do not have the star ribbon below his german ribbon bar, and other pictures I have of him in uniform just before normandy show him not wearing the Star Ribbon. I suspect that he wore the star ribbon just to get more cooperation and supplies from the italians, but as soon as they turned on germany in 1943 he took the italian award off his uniform.-

Hello, anyone with the book shown here should take a look at Rommels ribbon bar, and compare the "Hindenburg cross' ribbon swords, they dont match.

I have the book, and I did notice that the swords are different on some of the pictures, but I believe that it is known that Rommel had several uniforms and a man of his stature could have as many ribbon bars as he wanted made. The author claims that a friend of his actually owns a ribbon bar worn by Rommel. I persoanally believe that only about 11000th of accepted authentic militaria is really real. If this is true who knows about Rommels stuff. I read his book the Rommel Papers and in it he claims to rather wear a plain uniform anyway with no rank or insignia. It is my theory that he was worryed he would be captured and thought maybe he would not be recognized in a plain uniform.- Dan

thanks for all the comments guys i would gladly trade all of these for a nice ss soldbuch not a wehrpass must be a soldbuch if any of you guys have hanging around lol
