pikestaff Posted November 10, 2006 Author Share Posted November 10, 2006 hello All,I am wondering how much could cost a pair like these?thanks!HumbertoHello Humberto, I paid ?6.00 for this pair several years ago, also I recently found out from the book 'army badges and insigia since 1945' by Guido Rosignoli, that these are west german, not East German as I had thought.rgdsPikestaff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I thought that this pattern was East German as well. I still see these on ebay for about 20-30 dollars a set. Despite this, please bear in mind that they are real.RegardsPAul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehrentitle Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 (edited) Red Eagle - Nice display of DDR General's items. Also a nice general's dagger. There is a article I posted on the WA forum sometime back that covers NVA generals daggers. It can be found at:http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/sho...ad.php?t=176869 I suspect that the shoulder boards for Marschall der Deutschen Demokratischen Republik may not be originals. According to Klaus Wather's Uniformeffekten der bewaffneten Organe der DDR Band II, only 12 pairs of these shoulder boards were made. The original Marschall's device has a real ruby in the center, copies have synthetic stones or painted red centers. There is also an article in German that Klaus Feder wrote for Militaria in May 2002 that covers the Marschall Der DDR rank:http://www.schwanenorden.com/Artikel/Marsc...20der%20DDR.pdfKevin Edited November 19, 2006 by ehrentitle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
