Avitas Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 Here are some Major-Oberst DDR air force (not sure what it was called) collar tabs. I thought they were repro TR items, but turns out they are authentic DDR items. Hope you enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avitas Posted June 4, 2006 Author Share Posted June 4, 2006 Here is a set? of shoulder boards that I believe are East German, but I am not entirely sure. I believe these are field police shoulder boards in varying ranks. They are a thick material and made very well.Thanks for looking,Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avitas Posted June 4, 2006 Author Share Posted June 4, 2006 Next up is another set of DDR shoulder boards, these ones for regular army I believe (again, please correct me if I am mistaken, as I am going off what the seller told me, got them dirt cheap!). If anyone can properly ID these and give some background it would be very appreciated. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Here are some East German shoulder boards, one pair I believe is Panzer (pink) and the other Feldpolizei (green), but please correct me if I am wrong.Pat,The dark green boards are for Rear Services. Administrative, medical, supply/logistal and ect. I do not know why one of the boards has a pip, but this does not conform to any rank on the charts I have seen. It seems like a collector modification.The "pink" board appears to be red. If this the case, it would be artillery. If it is pink, it would be panzer.

The ones on the far left are for TRAPO(traffic Police), the others are for the Prison Police(Guards).The regular NVA army, border guard, and Stassi used the boards like the Rear Services and Arty boards you posted earlier.RegardsPAul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avitas Posted June 5, 2006 Author Share Posted June 5, 2006 This is probably my best DDR piece, an Officer's cap. I think it is army but I could be wrong. It is in good shape and is marked, and any more info on it is welcome. Thanks,Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riker87 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Hi, here some comments: Next up is two Bundeswehr combat badges, one for Infantry and the other for some sort of Rocket, any help on ID is welcome. These are very light badges. Pat Bundeswehr is wrong. These are NVA (Nationale Volksarmee - DDR) badges of marksmanship lanyards. The right one of the Grenztruppen (border troops) and the left one of the Artillerie (artillery). Here is a set? of shoulder boards that I believe are East German, but I am not entirely sure. I believe these are field police shoulder boards in varying ranks. They are a thick material and made very well. Thanks for looking, Pat They are of the Volkspolizei (People's Police), from left to right: - Anwärter - Volkspolizei-Bereitschaft - Anwärter - Volkspolizei/VP-Bereitschaft Tarnuniform - Wachtmeister - Volkspolizei - Oberwachtmeister - Volkspolizei In english: - aspirant (riot police, service uniform) - aspirant (normal police, service uniform and riot police, field uniform) - sergeant (normal police, service uniform) - staff sergeant (normal police, service uniform) Next up is another set of DDR shoulder boards, these ones for regular army I believe (again, please correct me if I am mistaken, as I am going off what the seller told me, got them dirt cheap!). If anyone can properly ID these and give some background it would be very appreciated. Pat From left to right: - aspirant (transportation police, field uniform) - aspirant (prison regime, service uniform) - sergeant (prison regime, service uniform) - staff sergeant (prison regime, service uniform) Best regards from (East) Germany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
