Arm badges
03fahnen posted a topic in Germany: Third Reich: Uniforms, Headwear, Insignia & Equipment
My collection is now focused on the imperial theme. But it wasn't always like that, and I am still struck by the III Reich ground army arm badges. Here I show the ones I have -
Early Reichsheer Badges of Rank
03fahnen replied to Glenn J's topic in Germany: Weimar Republic & Deutsche Freikorps
A beautiful and rare photo, thank you very much for showing it. You are looking only for photos of officers or any graduation. Here I show a picture of a general with the rank insignia on his sleeve. -
Großkreuz EK 1914 original or copy?
03fahnen replied to 03fahnen's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
Hello everyone, Thank you very much for your attention and comments. Thanks to kasle, I began to investigate in that direction and looking at the information available in other forums, I verified that it is a vintage piece, manufactured by Godet. It is true that it is not one of the pieces awarded, but it is also true that it is contemporary with those delivered. I also collect collar patches and specialty badges and have never put down a catalog sample because it would have sat in a store unissued and unworn. Here I show some photos with more detail, and in comparison with a first class and a second class one to appreciate the difference in sizes Here is another contemporary piece from the period 1939-1945. Delivered to Spain for display at the Army Museum in Madrid. It was never awarded to anyone, but I would give anything to have it in my collection. -

Linie - ¿Zivil-Ehrenkreuz? ¿Dienstauszeichn.? 7 Ethiopie – The Imperial Order of the Star of Ethiopia. 8 Preußen – Roter Adler-Orden any help or comment (for or against) will be welcome. As always, thank you all very much.

Good Morning I have several doubts about this ribbon bar 1. Which medal corresponds to the last ribbon? 2. As you can see, it is a pin for an officer who was in the colonial wars. My question is, is the first ribbon from an Iron Cross won in the First World War? Or could it be another medal? Any thoughts on it will be well received. As always thank you very much

Good morning gentlemen. After several years trying to find out what is the text of the centenary ribbon of the 1 Battalion of the 2. Garde Regiment zu Fuss. I find this photo (detail) of a tape that I think might be the correct one. Could someone confirm my suspicions or, on the contrary, indicate which regiment it corresponds to.
