Harrier Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Gordon,are the Willrich portraits of "Unsere U-Boote Waffe" his originals?Regards,Martin.And are the portraits all matched to the subjects' original uniforms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Williamson Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 And are the portraits all matched to the subjects' original uniforms?No, just the D?nitz portrait. The identities are known for the other uniforms though, as all were donated directly by the families of the original wearers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrier Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 On the Donitz uniform, do you recall if the "rings' on the sleeves were made as a "unitary set", with the broad ring and the other rings sewn on a separate piece of cloth and then attached, as a unit, to each sleeve, or was each "ring" actually sewn individually to the sleeve itself? I ask because I think I recall a photo where you see (on the uniform in the photo) they were made as a set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
