Robin Lumsden Posted April 20, 2013 Author Posted April 20, 2013 That patch that Winkler is offering is laughable. Maybe the buyer, if there is one, will end up crying rather than laughing.
Robin Lumsden Posted April 28, 2013 Author Posted April 28, 2013 Flammenwerfer officer ???? ............................
Chip Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Wow! Now that is cool! I have only seen one officer's version in person. It was on a tunic in the Wehrgeschichtliches Museum in Rastatt. Chip
dond Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Flammenwerfer officer ???? ............................ Good question.
Robin Lumsden Posted April 30, 2013 Author Posted April 30, 2013 Wow! Now that is cool! I have only seen one officer's version in person. It was on a tunic in the Wehrgeschichtliches Museum in Rastatt. Yes ................ a FK tunic, as I recall. Had antlers over the collar tabs.
Robin Lumsden Posted April 30, 2013 Author Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) Good question. Care to hazard an opinion, Don? It looks OK to me, from what I can see. Everything looks right about this one. Missing the backing, of course. Condition is pretty poor ....................... but there's only another one known. And it'll never come on to the market. Edited April 30, 2013 by Robin Lumsden
dond Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 I've never seen this version, either in person nor in a period picture. It certainly doesn't look like any in this thread, not even the black one.
Chris Boonzaier Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 I think this one may actually have a chance.... I dont have an opinion formed yet, but I am open on this one... http://www.kaiserscross.com/40029/76401.html
Chris Boonzaier Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 I am as always a healthy sceptic, but this is a completely different ballgame to the black one. I would definately look it over with an open mind if I found it.
Chip Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 Yes ................ a FK tunic, as I recall. Had antlers over the collar tabs. Robin, Yes, that's the one. I have a picture I took of it somewhere. The officer went on to serve in a Freikorps unit.
Hoss Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) Couple of pics one W1 Italian Arditi soldier is riding a Bianchi 500A lucky devil, they also had flame thrower units of course.The black skull on the other soldiers tunic I only found out about last night, interesting.

KIR Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) Why does this thing, currently on sale for 1450 Euros, remind me of Kyle from South Park ???? Hi, the auction was 2nd of march in germany - he payed around ~80 Euro for this badge, EK1* and VWA. I had the badge in my hands and I don't bid for this set! Best regards, Jens * EK1 back was damaged (broken needle, etc.) Edited May 3, 2013 by KIR

Robin Lumsden Posted May 3, 2013 Author Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) So .................. 1370 Euros mark-up on a fake, within a month. Edited May 3, 2013 by Robin Lumsden
dond Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 I'd say that has to be a record but something tells me the SS tuxedo badges was a bigger mark up.
Hoss Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 Are any of these legit show on ebay every couple of weeks. Eric
