Bob Lyons Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I would lkke to present a nice flight trumpet banner for the city of Werl, where Field Marshal Albert Kesselring was imprisoned postwar for war crimes. During the war there was a reasonable Luftwaffe presence there..... Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jock Auld Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 (edited) Hi Bob, How far apart are the ties on the flag if you don't mind me asking? Would it fit a fanfare trumpet? Cheers Jock:) Edited June 26, 2013 by Jock Auld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Lyons Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 Hi Bob, How far apart are the ties on the flag if you don't mind me asking? Would it fit a fanfare trumpet? Cheers Jock:) Hi Jock Yes it is for a fanfare trumpet, the ties are approx 37 CM apart. Hope this helps, Best wishes Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jock Auld Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Bob, Thanks for info, I have 3 and 1/2 (bit missing) Fanfares but they are all pretty well 42cm between the hangers? Cheers Jock:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Lyons Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 I would love to see some photos of them Jock if possible ?? I have seen trumpet banners with the tyes, and also with clips too, I guess there would be slight variations in the lengths of the hangers etc, I only have the one, so can't really show any other variations.

Jock Auld Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Bob, Off to work soon, will do you some pictures tonight. Jock:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jock Auld Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Bob, They are a bit tall to try and photograph, hope this will do. The top one has a shorter distance for the hangers, approx 35cm.

Bob Lyons Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 Superb stuff ! Robin your Pz. Rgt. 8 banner has left me all sweaty ! Magnificent !! I am not sure if you guys are aware of it or not, but Shawn Southern in the US is doing a book on musical instruments and other band related items as well, he would love to see these photos I am sure. I can pass on his e-mail address if you like..... (Shawn has some fantastic trumpets too Jock, and I am sure he would love to see these).

Robin Lumsden Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Thanks, Bob. Your banner takes the biscuit, though. Just superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Lumsden Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 ............ your Pz. Rgt. 8 banner has left me all sweaty ! Magnificent !! Came from a U.S. vet find ........................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Lyons Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 Superb, and nice to have some DAK history with it too. 1940 15th Panzer Division 8th Panzer Regiment 104th Panzergrenadier Regiment 115th Panzergrenadier Regiment 33rd Artillery Regiment 15th Motorcycle Battalion 115th Reconnaissance Battalion 33rd Engineering Battalion 33rd Anti-Tank Battalion And I see a lovely looking Flak trumpet banner hiding in the left hand corner too.... Keep 'em coming Robin ! Best wishes Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Lumsden Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Keep 'em coming Robin ! Bob. Since the regimental emblem of Pz. Rgt. 8 was the Wolfsangel, it seemed appropriate to display the trumpet and banner alongside this DJ pennant .............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Lyons Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 That display looks fantastic Robin ! Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jock Auld Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Bob, I doubt your mate is struggling for pictures but if he has to rely on me taking them then he is on a hiding since it is not an area I am that good at, certainly not for a reference book anyway. Robin, Nice stuff and a lot of it too. Jock:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyden R. Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Oh my goodness!! My husband showed me the banner and the embroidery, but he didn't show me those fanfare trumpets!!!! Jock, if you would be so kind, what are the makers on those fanfare trumpets? I am a trumpet and bugle player, so I am really really interested in researching them a bit. I just informed Paul R. that I want one!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jock Auld Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 None of them are maker marked and they are all slightly different in construction and sadly only one is completely without damage or repair.It would seem that they all fail at the similar points where the brass bars are connected to give it some rigidity.Jock:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jock Auld Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Gone a bit off track here.I wonder what Robin would make of this one.It has the Fanfare Banner attachments but still no maker?CheersJock:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Lyons Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 Very nice Jock. Here is another trumpet banner, it just sold on the WAF's for sale section (US), and sadly not to me, but a nice one with a little bit of damage to the fringe, for Bad Aibling.
