Reverse. Thanks for looking.

[Laurence Strong]

Hi Peter it might not be the twin but the missing brother to my pair

I like those Ralph, thanks for sharing.

Paul, whats with the "Mr" stuff

[Paul R]

I dunno Larry... I think it could be the whole "respect thy elders" thing! LOL

Ralph,

Very nice EM patch. Although I am not experienced enough to make a definative comment on breast eagles, I feel that yours are beautiful originals.

Regards

Paul

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your attempt to enlighten me, but I think we have a small misunderstanding here.

My response was in reference to Laurence's post #47 and that one surely isn't blue, rather the

same as mine i.e. secondary colour red. My real dilemma is to differentiate green from brown.

Laurence, in these days, when Christmas is knocking on the door, brothers shouldn't be separated.

Please pm me your snail-mail address

[Paul R]

I see.

Sorry for the misunderstanding

The reverse. This is the first time I have seen numbers on the rear, though they are the same as a Flak tab of Pauls.

[Paul R]

Larry,

Very Very nice

[Laurence Strong]

Flak Major

The reverse

[Laurence Strong]

A Medical Hauptmann, It looks like it was removed from a tunic

[Laurence Strong]

the reverse. it seems like there is thread and bits of cloth on the rear.

[Laurence Strong]

Admin Leutnant. Now I don't know if it is my scanner that makes it such a light green. So I dont know if this would be Reichsluftaufsichtsdienst (Aircraft control) or "Wehrmachtbeamte, Nautiker"

[Laurence Strong]

the reverse. Marked with the number 15, I wonder if there is anyway of tracking down the manufacture's. it seems to have a waxy base to it.

[Paul R]

That is a very interesting tab(the light green admin). I will have to hit the Davis Books!

[Laurence Strong]

Thanks for the help Paul, there was the 2 green waffenfarbe's as shown here:

I have a feeling it is the lighter, however as I have never handled Luft Admin tabs before I am stumped for the darked green.

[Paul R]

Larry,

You are absolutely correct in your theory of the Official's tabs being light green(Air Traffic Control Service Officials). They are the only officials tabs in that color! These tabs were amoungst the first officials tabs released IAW Order 144 on the 22Apr1935! These are the first I have ever seen! Very nice find!

This information is as per page 121 of "Uniforms and Insignia of the Luftwaffe", Vol1 by Brian Davis

IF you ever find any more...

Merry Christmas

[Laurence Strong]

Hi Paul

Thanks for that info, well that turned into a choice score for 27.50 euro!

Diane on WAF said about the same thing without the additional info you supplied.

And yeah if I find another......

[Paul R]

Diane is awesome. She has helped me out a lot as well... especially in the beginning. I actually just spoke with her on the phone last week about the grey tabs I have posted. That is another topic though.

Those tabs are real beauties and I am sure it will be a while before more surface!

Thank you for keeping an eye out for me.

Regards

Paul

[Laurence Strong]

Some new stuff.

First and foremost from Peter J, Thanks again Peter
