Laurence Strong Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 In all the material I have read and seen there was only one Orange nebenfarbed career and that was the Wehrersatzwesen. The only info I have to date comes from Schlicht/Angolia which states 5. 5. 38. (HV 38B Nr.174). It list only a Medium/Elevated careerHere is a correct set of collar tabs for that career obv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence Strong Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 (edited) The reverse. Note the use of cardboard for a backing. If you have followed Paul Reck's or Gary Boward (Gary if I miss spelled your name I do apologize) Luftwaffe tab threads you will know that anything but the kitchen sink was used for backing, so the cardboard is not a concern to me. Also note the Manufactures/Company initials and the fact that the nebenfarbe is folded over and not braid Edited April 15, 2009 by Laurence Strong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence Strong Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 (edited) Here is the obverese of a set of tabs for a Milterverwaltungs for a Medium/Elevated career (so rarely seen) I had so hoped to win these but as I tend to snipe in the last few seconds....and as Ebay decided to ask me to confirm my ID...... Needless to say I did not win them. However I digress Edited April 15, 2009 by Laurence Strong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence Strong Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 (edited) The reverse. Here is where things start to come together. Once again we see cardboard backing, the Manufactures/Company initials, and that the nebenfarbe is folded over and not braid Edited April 15, 2009 by Laurence Strong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence Strong Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 (edited) So now we come to where I believe we are missing something. Of the bat there is not much of a market for repro Beamte insignia. I bought these about 5 years ago and though I was aware that it was a HV tab I was not aware that it was for a none existant career Edited April 15, 2009 by Laurence Strong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence Strong Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 (edited) The reverse of my high career tab. Once again we see cardboard backing, the Manufactures/Company initials, and that the nebenfarbe is folded over and not braid. So my evidence to date rest on 3 collar tabs. All HV tabs and all made by the same person/company. If anybody can help with more tabs, HV or other Waffenfarbe, or any other info it would be great.Many thanks for looking Edited April 15, 2009 by Laurence Strong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I'm having difficulty with the colors-- is the backing on that actually dark GREEN or is it dark BLUE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 The background color is dark green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
