GdC26 Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 A set of FJK and a set of FJR straps. With many thanks to Eric Queen for the help in completing these sets .......
GdC26 Posted February 3, 2008 Author Posted February 3, 2008 Let?s push this back up, because I can?t really believe that the lack of response denotes a lack of interest. Perhaps a bit of narative may be helpful. With thanks to Eric Queen, what is on display here is a reunited pair of Fallschirm Infanterie Batallion NCO boards (left), alsongside a pair of boards of the Infanterie Lehr Battlion with buttons for the 15th Kompagnie (right).To quote Eric: The FIK (Fallschirm Infanterie Kompanie) was the 15th company of the Infanterie Lehr Rgt. from 4/37 to 6/38. During this time, they used the strap with the white "L". The Kompanie expanded to a Batl. in June of 38 and at that point they began using the "FJ" straps. Of course the Lehr regiment continued to use staps with a white L later in the war, but those straps are not for the Fallschirm Infanterie. It must be the very early verison for waffenrock (like this one) or the M36 field tunic version (with the pointed tips) Enjoy, Sandro
Paul R Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 And the latest update:AMAZING!! I am surprised that I missed these! You have the only complete sets I have seen on the forums. I see that you got one from Eric Queen's collection!
GdC26 Posted April 7, 2008 Author Posted April 7, 2008 Thanks Paul, thanks Scott. Yes, Eric was instrumenal in getting the display together. The pic is of Walter Rummler, 15. Kompgnie, Infanterie Lehr Regiment, the Fallschirm infanterie Kompagnie. The pic shows the button with Nr. 15. The FIK was subsequently transformed in the FIB.Regards, Sandro
