    Guys,

    I got this this morning, it was in a rucksack with a bottle and mess kit. There was also a US belt and bottle. I will put the field gear in the proper areas.

    It appears that you can remove the blue top to put on a summer white top at a guess?

    Waffenfarbe is signals I think without looking it up so I may be wrong?

    It looks like a lot of gear from the same guy and he was likely something to do with Boelcke squadron (markings on the rucksack see other post).

    I am liking the maker lable.

    His name is unfortunate 'Bohnsack', 'Beanbag', does that work as a literal translation?

    Jock :)

    Yes, certainly looks like a nice signals cap, from a rare maker. Definitely a keeper, IMHO. KG 27 "Boelcke", was, of course, a Luftwaffe bomber wing.

    I always wondered why a bomber unit was named after a fighter pilot??

    Guys,

    With the top off and an eagle relaced. There appears to be a split pin that would attach to a flap on the cover to hold it in place?

    15thpacav I will keep it I am sure, the unit marking states 37 I am thinking that may be the year as this is the second marked as such that I have, I don't think it is copied or enhanced as there is no point on a rucksack.

    Jock :)
