KM-SPAIN Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 I have seen in the WA forum a topic about the kriegsmarine fieldgrey uniforms, but to put there this pictures I have to pay and I can not understand that, so I would like to start a new one here and I hope that it is of your interest.Fist an NCO tunic.Regards to all.Eduardo
KM-SPAIN Posted September 16, 2005 Author Posted September 16, 2005 Here a moleskin tunic war time transformed to officer. Eagle is of the machine-woven model.
KM-SPAIN Posted September 16, 2005 Author Posted September 16, 2005 And the admiral field-grey tunic. This is custom tailored high quality, with inside lower pockets as the kriegsmarine models.
KM-SPAIN Posted September 16, 2005 Author Posted September 16, 2005 Collar patches on cornflower blue, just as the shoulder board underlay.
KM-SPAIN Posted September 16, 2005 Author Posted September 16, 2005 Finally, a general picture of some emblems and caps. Look the alter art and the field cap model 42, both really rare.Best regards.Eduardo
Gordon Williamson Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 These are quite magnificent Eduardo, thanks for sharing.The Admirals tunic is especially impressive and a very rare piece Is the gold Narvik shield also on Field Grey ?
KM-SPAIN Posted September 16, 2005 Author Posted September 16, 2005 The Narvik shield is in gold with fiel-grey underlay, but to be honest I'm not really sure about its originality. The fiel-grey color of the cloth it is exactly just as the one used by the kriegsmarine.Opinions???
Guest Rick Research Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 A naval land forces Lt (Ing):[attachmentid=10961]Is the Konteradmiral tunic named?
Michel Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 Very nice Eduardo, and very rare Admiral field-grey tunic with good pockets. The same for the alter art, more pictures please.
KM-SPAIN Posted September 19, 2005 Author Posted September 19, 2005 Rick, tha admiral jacket was made in Hamburg, but unfortunately never has had inside label with the name of the ower.The alter art has the maker stamp from Wilhemshaven inside the leather band. Some pictures more.Regards.Eduardo
Paul R Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 Inside.←Hi Eduardo,That is a very focused collection of a relatively obsure branch. That is the only KM Coastal Arty Admiral's Tunic I have ever seen in a collection! You do have some great stuff!Best regardsPaul Reck
byf Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 Eduardo, Looks like you have a wonderful and unique collection there. Thanks for posting.byf
KM-SPAIN Posted February 20, 2006 Author Posted February 20, 2006 No body has any Kriegsmarine fieldgrey cap or uniform to show us. I can not belive that I'm the only one member of this forum with them in his collection.I have just found a grey-green trousers with the wide blue side-stripes to complete my admiral jacket, I thought that find this one could be inpossible, but with time (and money) you can find everything. I will post pictures as soon as I'll take them.
KM-SPAIN Posted February 20, 2006 Author Posted February 20, 2006 Here we are, the admiral jacket with the VERY VERY RARE!!!!! admiral trousers. I'm like a child with his new toy with it.
byf Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 Yes Eduardo, we are like little boys on Christmas morning playing with our new toys. Isn't it a great hobby? Great setup there.byf
KM-SPAIN Posted August 9, 2006 Author Posted August 9, 2006 (edited) I have seen, in this and in other forums, that pleople like to see the items and collections of the other people, but most of them don't like to contribute to the post whith their own collection. I can not belive that there is nobody around that have some Coastal Artillery uniform, caps, equipment, ... to show to the rest of us, so we can learn more about this hard hobby.Anyway I will try to mantein this one.Best regards to all. Edited August 10, 2006 by KM-SPAIN
Guest Rick Research Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 You've seen "all" of mine above, except for some Gefreiter/Obergefreiter chevrons = I think maybe you do have the best there is out there. I don't think I have seen more than 5 overseas caps, 2 tunics, and an overcoat here in the last 30 years. American souvenir hunting GIs bypassed the left-behind French coastal pockets and ended up in central and southern Germany, so this lack of postable material I blame on deficiencies in souvenir gathering among the Tommies up north along the coastal areas.
KM-SPAIN Posted August 10, 2006 Author Posted August 10, 2006 You are right Rick, is not easy to find CA items, but I really hope that there are more people here with CA stuff and not only me. If I have be able to find these from SPAIN!! , the people in the belligerent and occupied countries can do easier. I will try to mantein this and show you some more items.
Daniel Murphy Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 Eduardo, You have the best collection of naval feldgrau I have ever seen. While I have seen the odd enlisted tunic here and there, it is nothing to compare to what you have there. I agree with the others, That old style officers "crusher" is to die for. And that Admirals uniform is fantastic. Unfortunately I do not have any, as I no longer collect TR. I would love to see you post some more though. Dan Murphy
