ccj Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Nice, I must admit that after 30+ year collecting I’m not very knowledgeable on Kraftfahrer gear. I know it when I see if but don’t know how to authenticate. it looks genuine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a few other interesting Kraftfahrer items in my collection: enlisted straps with two different styles of K and a 84/98aA marked to the Bayerische Ersatz-Kraftwagenkollone 2. If anyone has any Kraftfahrer items feel free to add them to the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prussian Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) Yes. Nice photos and shoulder straps! Congrats. I´m still looking for a collar badge. Do you know anything about the "sportscar" badge? I also have this sad photo Edited March 4, 2021 by The Prussian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motojosh Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share Posted March 2, 2021 Great photos Andy! I've got lots of Kraftfahrer photos, but have never seen the sports car style badge until now. There's a member of the WWI German Soldier facebook page that has a WWI souvenir belt with that identical badge on it, I've asked him to add a photo of it here. That style looks like a staff car so maybe for drivers for regimental staff? Or maybe just private purchase? Bavarians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Stahlhut Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) there were also specific collar badges for motorcyclists (kradfahrer) which are even harder to find nice badges straps and photos. great thread!

The Prussian Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Hello! Yes, That´s the car. I´ve seen it several times, but I don´t know if it´s a private purchase or an official one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
