Chris Boonzaier Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 Reminiscent of this old 'connection' ???? ...................... Hi, I saw the above docs for sale, has nothing to do with the FW troops at all though. Almost all Pionier Units were closely intertwined with the MW units. best Chris
Robin Lumsden Posted June 13, 2012 Author Posted June 13, 2012 I want to send you a copy of my new book: http://www.schifferb...n=9780764340369 Tom Tom. Book was sent to me today. Fantastic work! Many thanks again. Cheers, Robin.
Thomas W Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 Tom. Book was sent to me today. Fantastic work! Many thanks again. Cheers, Robin. My pleasure, Robin. I always appreciated your positive, supportive approach to this field. I'm glad you like the book. It's my final volume in the field. I'm publishing my memoirs in the fall, and then it's on to fiction.
Robin Lumsden Posted June 21, 2012 Author Posted June 21, 2012 Latest TK addition .............. http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/54885-wehrwolf-flag-plaque/
Robin Lumsden Posted July 19, 2012 Author Posted July 19, 2012 Found this interesting from the recent Rohr post. Another connection between Minenwerfer and Flammenwerfer ............ and a non-standard FW TK. If only it had been black!
Robin Lumsden Posted July 19, 2012 Author Posted July 19, 2012 If the one above is 'MInenwerfer - Flammenwerfer - Brandenburger' ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, .................. then maybe the one below is 'Minenwerfer - Flammenwerfer - Wuerttemberger', as originally captioned, after all !! :)
Robin Lumsden Posted July 20, 2012 Author Posted July 20, 2012 Comparison of the 'Brandenburger' with the standard FW TK ..........
Robin Lumsden Posted July 20, 2012 Author Posted July 20, 2012 Same in some ways .................. different in others. :)

Sergeant 08 Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) But it means not, they are right. Robin, at the moment you have the best possibility for a comparison. Edited July 21, 2012 by Sergeant 08
Robin Lumsden Posted July 21, 2012 Author Posted July 21, 2012 Robin, at the moment you have the best possibility for an comparison. :cheers:
Sergeant 08 Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) In tradition of the Imperial IR92: Wehrmacht IR17! Nobody wanted this piece in an auction yesterday and I decided to give this orphan a new home. Now it can live together with the other skulls in my collection. PS: Had another similar one before, but not with such a nice skull. Edited July 23, 2012 by Sergeant 08
Robin Lumsden Posted July 24, 2012 Author Posted July 24, 2012 Just picked up this little hand-painted FW model. Limited edition ................. 150 pieces, worldwide. :)
Robin Lumsden Posted July 24, 2012 Author Posted July 24, 2012 Another view ....................... Even down to the FW TK sleeve badge!
Robin Lumsden Posted July 28, 2012 Author Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) Recently acquired by a well-known collector friend from across the water ..................... with Wiener Dogs !! In his words ...................... "Minenwerfer Abteilung Heuschkel had 8 light Minenwerfer and 1 Flammenwerfer platoon so it counts for Flammenwerfer and Minenwerfer. There was probably only 200 made, as there were only 14 officers and 183 men." Edited July 28, 2012 by Robin Lumsden
Robin Lumsden Posted July 28, 2012 Author Posted July 28, 2012 He now has a fantastically rare badge. Only two originals known worldwide .................... unless someone here can state otherwise! Here's the reverse. Both pix posted with his permission, of course.
Robin Lumsden Posted July 28, 2012 Author Posted July 28, 2012 Don. I feel your pain ............................. I'm also aching a bit, as I thought I had the only one! But ................. great to see another of these rare badges.
Robin Lumsden Posted July 28, 2012 Author Posted July 28, 2012 In common with many FK badges from 1919-20, the originals of these were in black-painted brass. Just like a WW1 Wound Badge. The common repros are in white metal, like this .............................
Sergeant 08 Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) He now has a fantastically rare badge. Only two originals known worldwide .................... unless someone here can state otherwise! This one, your badge and the other one sold by Weitze. I guess there is a minimum of three badges. PS: I still hope to find badge #4. :lol: Edited July 28, 2012 by Sergeant 08
Robin Lumsden Posted July 28, 2012 Author Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) This one, your badge and the other one sold by Weitze. I guess there is a minimum of three badges. Stefan. When did Weitze sell one? Edited July 28, 2012 by Robin Lumsden
