Kriegsmarine My last months ebay finds

[reinoudmilitary]

Not as great as Gordon's cap but a very nice tellermuetze and a complete and wonderfull pair of obergefreiter's shoulder boardswhich I recently found on ebay.

The tellermuetze is a normal standard issue with removable blue top. The top has a name tag in it and vague acceptance stamps.

The white stiffner in the front bears the number 55 for the headsize. As you can see the capframe consists of the see through cellulose material

It's has a very nice "floppy" look.

I'm still looking for the capinsignia!

I thought that the boards were for an Oberfahnrich(Senior Officer Candidate).

Very nice straps and the Matrosenm?tze is excellent. Good, honest wartime issued sailors caps with the correct celluloid band stiffener are no so easy to find ! Congratulations, and more proof that there IS good stuff to be found on EBay
