Fully matching, WH (Heeres), IMO mid-war-period- (ie. 'M43'-pattern-) NCO-type shoulderstraps as piped in the black-coloured branchcolour as was intended for - and/or used by! - an: 'Oberfeldwebel der Pionier-Truppen'
This is an attractive - and actually not that easily encountered! - IMO mid-war-period- (ie. 'M43'-pattern-) pair of NCO-type shoulderstraps as was piped in the desirable, black- (ie. 'schwarzer'-) coloured branchcolour as was intended for - and/or clearly used by! - an: 'Oberfeldwebel der Pionier-Truppen' (or: sergeant first-class who served within an army engineers'-unit ie. regiment) and tha... read more
Bronze-toned so-called: 'Einzelspange' showing a: 'Frontkämpferkreuz 1914-18 mit Schwerter' (ie.: 'Kriegsteilnehmerkreuz 1914-18 mit Schwerter') being a detailed- and/or IMO zinc- ie. 'Feinzink'-based, specimen
This is an attractive example of an - actually unusally seen! - copper-bronze-toned, so-called: 'Einzelspange' showing a WWI-period: 'Frontkämpferkreuz 1914-18 mit Schwerter' (ie.: 'Kriegsteilnehmerkreuz 1914-18 mit Schwerter') that has (IMO) been hardly used- nor worn. The piece is a detailed- and/or IMO zinc- ie. 'Feinzink'-based, specimen that is neatly maker-marked on its back: it bears the... read more
Very unusual, aluminium-based equipment- ie. wash-tag (ie. 'Wasch-Marke') bearing the unique numeral: '670' and superimposed text: 'Luftfahrtforschungsanstalt Hermann Göring'
I recently found five - fully identical! - examples of the unusually seen, aluminium-based equipment- ie. wash-tags (ie. 'Wasch-Marken') all five bearing the unique numeral: '670' and superimposed text: 'Luftfahrtforschungsanstalt Hermann Göring' all five pieces coming in an overall nice- (albeit clearly used- ie. worn-), condition. These square-sized tags (sized: 3,2 x 3,2 cms.) were very popu... read more
Neat - albeit regrettably single! - WH (Heeres), early- (ie. pre-war-) period, 'M36'-pattern- (ie. pointed-styled-) 'cyphered' shoulderstrap, as was intended for an: 'Unterwachtmeister des Artillerie-Regiments 63'
This is an attractive - albeit regrettably single but nevertheless scarcely encountered - WH (Heeres), early- (ie. pre-war-) period, 'M36'-pattern- (ie. pointed-styled-) 'cyphered' and/or non-piped shoulderstrap, as was intended for usage by an: 'Unterwachtmeister des Artillerie-Regiments 63' (or: junior-sergeant who served within the artillery-regiment ie. unit numbered: '63') and that comes i... read more
Two-pieced medal-bar (ie. 'Doppelspange') respectively depicting a WWI-period: 'Frontkämpferkreuz 1914-18' (ie.: 'Kriegsteilnehmerkreuz mit Schwerter') and a detailed: 'Polizei-Dienstauszeichnung 1. Stufe'
This is an attractive - and in this uncommonly found combination not that often seen! - two-pieced medal-bar (ie. 'Doppelspange') respectively depicting a WWI-period: 'Frontkämpferkreuz 1914-18' (ie.: 'Kriegsteilnehmerkreuz mit Schwerter') and a neatly silvered: 'Polizei-Dienstauszeichnung 1. Stufe' (or police loyal-service medal first class as was awarded for 25 years of loyal service within t... read more
