Snoopy Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 HiI need help with some buttons, that I found at a flea market today. The seller believed that they where fairly new, but I noticed the markings on the reverse, and what appears to be a year of manufacture. I don't know a lot about buttons, but I took a chance, since they cost allmost nothing. The buttons are silver in colour, and not gold. I would appreciate any help.All the best Snoopy
Guest Rick Research Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 Are they Feldgrau painted? Definitely (19)41. Looks like naval land forces PAINT finish to me.
Snoopy Posted July 27, 2008 Author Posted July 27, 2008 They look more like silver, or unpainted metal. Could they belong to a Kriegsmarine beamter tunic?Snoopy
Gordon Craig Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Snoopy,Definitely WWII Kriegsmarine buttons. Seems to the KM beamter had silver buttons. I'll check my reference material tonight.Regards,Gordon
Snoopy Posted July 31, 2008 Author Posted July 31, 2008 Hello GordonThank you very much, for your help. I really appreciate it. All the best Snoopy
Gordon Craig Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 Snoopy,Sorry but I was not able to find time to look in my reference material for info on these buttons. We have just moved and I am still unpacking boxes. Also left home yesterday to spend a couple of weeks in Canada with our daughter before returning to Budapest by way of two weeks in Italy. I'll try and remember to look when I get home. Might take a few days as we still did not have an internet connection before we left.Regards,Gordon
