Garth Thompson Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 And this ones for Paul...... Leutnant, Reserve Medical - the first pair I have ever seen.Gary,You got those at the SOS didn't you. I saw them but the guy was away from his table. Went back and they were gone. Glad they found a good home.Garth
Gary B Posted March 4, 2006 Author Posted March 4, 2006 Hi Garth, David and I stopped by your table a few times to see you but you were wondering the show. I had hoped to meet you. Perhaps next show.Yes these were SOS purchases. I was quite happy to find them as I had never seen any before. You had some nice shoulder boards at your table.Gary B
michaelh Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 These aren't exactly tabs, but they are a recent pick up of mine I thought you Luft fans might enjoy. They belonged to GFM Milch
Paul R Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 I have never seen the GFM Boards before! Nice! What are the batons made of?
michaelh Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 I have never seen the GFM Boards before! Nice! What are the batons made of?Paul, these are the aluminum batons....and a larger size at that, most likely intended for use on the overcoat boards though they were used on tunic boards as well. Here's a detail shot.
Paul R Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 Very nice detail on such a small clasp! I was figuring that it had to be another metal other than silver!
michaelh Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 Very nice detail on such a small clasp! I was figuring that it had to be another metal other than silver! By the way, of additional interest to you Luft insignia collectors, I now have quite an extensive grouping of original Luft Generals insignia examples posted up on my site; http://www.themarshalsbaton.com/There are updates to all the Luft Generals pages (GFM, Luft Generals Rank Overview and Additional Luft Generals Insignia examples). A tip of the hat to several other Luft collectors (who donated examples) and happen to have the same General Officer affliction that I do!
michaelh Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 There are also examples of all the different types of GFM boards and baton variations (both Army and Luft), if any of you would like to explore that area further.http://www.themarshalsbaton.com/
