Laurence Strong Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Besides an addiction to Luftwaffe collar tabs and shoulder boards, I also have a big interest in Heer items, I am interested to see what others consider "their' favorite.Here's a couple of my favorites. First a set of shoulder boards for a Leutnant der Reserve for Gebirgsjager Regt 100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I've never seen a recruiting department Beamter tab before! My one and only (and it is, alas, ONLY one) is General der Infanterie "with the Uniform of Infantry Regiment 12" as worn from 30 September 1931 to 30 June 1942 by Pour le Merite/German Cross in Silver winner Rudolf Schniewindt (1875-1954):[attachmentid=46673]Closeup up of the complicated weave to the bullion:[attachmentid=46674] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurence Strong Posted July 20, 2006 Author Share Posted July 20, 2006 Hi PaulI agree with you, that's one gorgeous shoulder board Rick posted.For those that think that only buckram can back a collar board, here's some cardboard, to help show what a cottage industry collar tabs were.

ar41 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Here is a set of NCO Heer tropical I like. I don't think the slip-on ciphers are original to the set and were added at a later date, but this is the way I got them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Gibson Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Hello,This is actually my first post on this forum, although I have been here a while.I thought that I would post one of my favourite pairs of shoulderboards, a set of early tropical panzer grenadier boards for an enlisted man. These are the early ones used in North Africa as can be seen by the brown wool backing on the boards. They have seen quite a bit of wear and are very faded. These actually came on a nicely faded tan tunic complete with 'AFRIKAKORPS' cufftitle.I hope you like them.Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Gibson Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 And here is the reverse showing the brown wool backing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Liontas Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 (edited) Thank you for the comments guys. Paul, these are all the navy tabs I have. The early version are still attached to the Probe Tag as is the wreath Edited October 10, 2006 by Chris Liontas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
