Anyone recognize what this might be? Obv

I like it. I would not be able to paint that good on such a large scale! Larry

I am thinking "dirty" white. Larry

Hello First off welcome to GMIC are there any army bases near you? if so there would be tailors that might do it. Another option is to check at a military museum and see if they know of people that mount medals. Larry

I will be trying to see if I can get one for my fathers medals. Larry

"The Ladies from Hell" The Scots Guards

Last of my current stock of British cap badges, I have some "stay-brite" but i feel they don't count The Wiltshire Regt

West Yorkshire More to come later. Are Canadian ones OK? Larry

York and Lancaster

Couple of my favorites....read "more like only ones" Larry North Stafford

Very nice Larry

Hello Paul Many thanks to you Unfortunatly it is devoid of all markings. Larry

How would the difference in ranks be indicated on the buttons? Larry

If I am reading correctly, it is one from the The United States Holocaust Museum. http://www.ushmm.org/research/center/lerman/medal_award/ Larry

Very nice pictures. Larry

Hello Chris. Thanks for that I often wonder how we lived without the internet.......It is a sweet tunic and was had for a very reasonable price. I almost think the dealer recieved the same advice that you did. Larry

Last ones for now Thanks for looking Larry

Some more pictures

This just arrived, many thanks to Paul for the heads up It's an M36 tunic for a Beamte auf Kriegsdaur "Kriegswaffenmeister" in the Einfacher Dienst. The 1939 Rangelist der Wehrmachtbeamten Heer list 350 members for the Einfacher Dienst. There could not be many more than that added at the start of the war. In my mind this would rate as a very rare tunic. I don't have a manniquin to display it on so I am using the pictures that the dealer made. If anyone wants some different pictures let me know and I will take them. :cheers; Larry

What an amazing collection Larry

Hello Peter I found this for you... ".....It was part of a 32 ship Convoy HG-7 travelling from Durban in South Africa to Dunkirk with a cargo of maize. On the 19th November 1939 the ship was intercepted and sunk by U-49 north west of Cape Oretegal, Northwest Spain and sunk at 12:19pm in position 46'51N 11'36W without loss of life. The Captain and crew were rescued by the Destroyer HMS Echo and transferred to the Destroyer HMS Wanderer before being landed at Plymouth....." http://www.pensilvahistorygroup.org/places/16-s-s-pensilva Larry

Hello Ralph I went and looked, and unfortuanatly I have none left. A few years back I changed my painting style and started using new wargaming rules and I did a massive cleanout and binned a whole bunch of models. Larry

Woof...... Larry

Very interesting. Thanks for finding that out Edgar Larry

Very nice pictures. It's really sad dying 16 days before the end of hostilities...... Larry
