Hi all, I want to show my new tunic. It's a late war M44 tunic for a Panzer Grenadier schuetze. It shows heavy wear, it was there in '44. Unfortunately I do not have a mannequin yet but that will come. Look at the shoulderboards! The quality was declining at the end of the war.
Hi Volkbert, Your collection is growing steadily. Good to hear from you again. That looks like a great tunic, dude! Have you got a pic of you wearing it? Do you know anything about the man who wore it or to what unit he belonged??? Great buy! Stevin
Hi Stevin, I know nothing about the guy who actually wore it. A pic of me wearing it is impossible because the tunic is way too small. Unfortunately I was told that the shoulderboards are copies. The tunic is as original as it can be. By the way, 9 May is a militaria fair in Huizen.
I thought it was the third sunday in the month? Are you going? Because I definately would like to see it finally!!!! Would be nice to meet up again. I'll sent you an e-mail.
Volkbert do they ever offer any Kriegsmarine insignia at this fair ? thanks, looking for a KM Fla-20mm insignia -actually Fla gunner; winged shell red on blue Erich
Erich, they offer all kinds of WWII militaria. What does this insignia look like (do you have a picture?) and what does it cost? I can look for you.
Volkbert it is actually called Schütze bezw. Beobachter d. Leicht Flakartillerie, in other words simply.............KM light Fla blue oval background with a red shell in the center and a flame on top. On either side of the shell is a wing. they might run $ 25.00 US at the most and probably cheaper...... thanks for looking Erich
