Flammenwerfer! Flames, skulls and stuff

[Robin Lumsden]

Please explain.

Mine came from Weitze many years ago.

If he has had another one exactly like this recently, then there are three known!

But remember ............... I have seen a few repro versions of the Heuschkel badge on his site over the years.

You have to know what you are looking at !! :)

Robin, I don't talk about the known repro badges.

There was an original badge on his web site. Nobody bought it, two or three years ago….

I think it was sold for only 350 Euro. I thought, that you already owned such a badge, before Weitze’s badge was sold.

But perhaps it was the same badge?

Hello Stefan.

Thanks.

That sounds like the badge I bought from him.

About the same price, from memory.

But I think I bought mine around 2004-5.

Anyway, if he had another original one later, that makes three known.

Thanks again. :)

So the TK was the opponent of the flammenwerfer, this time. ;)

Chris, not much about flamethrowers in the book - not worth getting unless price is under euro 10.

PS: Thanks!

Great to see this thread is still alive and kicking! :jumping:

Odd one .................

Did you notice?

For a second time it is in an auction and now they call it a Flammenwerfer Abzeichen.

Different seller this time. I think it is a uniform embellished for theatrical purposes like the other outfits in the picture.

Check out my Flammenwerfer Militärpass that Chris was kind enough to post on his site: http://www.kaiserscross.com/40029/437301.html
