    Paul,

    Seems like the tabs are a dark waffenfarbe? Pioneer, medical? What is your guess? great photo.

    Thanks Steve,

    I noticed the dark tabs too. That is what got me to zooming in on the photo. The funny thing is that the eagles on the helmets are not really visible while looking at the photo in hand. I really love these scanners!

    It specifically states in the "books" that medical units did not draw members for a band. I think that the waffenfarbe is black. Perhaps an early RLM unit?

    Great picture & blow-ups. Remember, often times old B/W film played funny tricks with colors. What looks dark on the tabs may actually be a lighter color (yellow was notorious for turning up almost black in old B/W film).

    Thanks Scott...

    Can you make out anything on the photo?

    I can get MusikMeister Hans Limoro

    Jan04, 1938

    Can you make out the rest?

    The badge looks to be a Rider's Badge. I cannot make out the ribbon bar though. It looks like a double LS with something in front of it? Perhaps a 1936 Olympic Service Medal?

    An unusual blue set, I dont think there are regs for these, but if you look closely they seem to be by the same maker as the previous pair

    Hi Gary,

    Thank you for posting these pieces from you collection! :jumping: Can you please post the reverse of the tabs?

    Thank you for the compliment on the uniform earlier. I feel that that collecting gods were definitely with me. I am surprised that Peter had it on his site for as long as it was!! Perhaps it was because it was a private made piece(as they were all supposed to be), versus a 100% standard LW pattern? There could not be more than a few dozen of these men. I bet they all knew one another(at least by name). I am still very perplexed by the blue ones. I am sure that they are pretty irreplaceable!! Your LW collection is amazing.

    Here is a single to compliment Dave's Signals MusikMeister. This is for a Flight Obermusikmeister, 1935-8.

    A really nice shoulder board for a Stabsmusikmeister for the 4th Flak regiment. Something this specific MIGHT be able to be ID'ed?

    Hello, everyone, a fine topic!

    Can anyone recognize this conductor?

    Photo was published in "Handbuch f?r die Singleiter der Wehrmacht"

    (Verlag Merseburger & Co., Leipzig) and the only caption written was

    "Ein Musikkorps der Luftwaffe". Photo reminds me of a very similar one

    showing the band of Regiment "General G?ring" with Stabsmusikmeister

    Paul Haase, also taken in front of some barracks...

    (photo was posted in my forum by member 'nothingspecial')

    Wehrpas to Stabsfeldwebel Wolf Ohlendorf, Wachbataillon der Luftwaffe Berlin (ex- Musikleiter).

    That is some really great stuff!!! A nice photo of the rank of Stabsfeldwebel in the Soldbuch as well! I am very envious! I wonder if he served as a Musikleiter with all of those units or if he went on to serve as a combattant, as the war progressed.

    I do not recognize that conductor. Do you have a name for him? Welcome to the GMIC, HMVSCF!
