      Again "Thank you Marcus", I have not concentrated to hard on the Luft, been concentrating on the KM for now. I like those ones you posted.
    20. Laurence Strong
      Hi Marcus. Thanks for the contribution. Always nice to see someone else's stuff. I am not to good at this but here goes 1st one would be Marineartillerymaatrosen, I think and the other one is for a Maschinenlaufbahnmaatrosen. Not sure what that is. I would be more inclined to say that it might be an officer eagle.

      Now thats a find
    24. Laurence Strong
      Thanks Rob. I just got it about a month ago, I have been looking for one for over a year now and found this one for just over $350.00US, which I fiqured was a good deal. Actually I will soon start looking for a Kreis/Reich level, maybe a year from now I will find one to post.
    25. Laurence Strong
      I have found out that the Black piping is indicative of a political leader at the Kreis level, that was used till the 4th pattern insignia and uniforms came out in 1939, and the Kreis piping was changed to white. So it has nothing to do with the Judicial system, as I first thought.
