Herr

 

you will be interested to know that this deck crew pic is from the Scharnhorst.............enjoy !

 

yes interesting to know for sure.your personal collection ?

cheers

Herr

 

that is affirmitive but it has been copied and placed elsewhere over the many years, am going to post another pic in weapons from the same ship.

for your Schiff talley will that be placed from the firm in Canada or Germany or ...... ? I am seeing a few "Scharnhorsts" becoming available right now, the price is not too bad incidently

 

hi Erich

Cool, awsome would like to see more yes.

No the tally I am chasing is here in NZ from a part time dealer.

Cheers

Herr

PS got Spielmann insignia today with the loop up

 

Here she is; Drum and fife corps specialty patch for blue tunic.



Not the easiest to find and not cheap either.

Cheers

Herr

 

and in fine condition too with bright colours. This patch seems to be a winner. How many different ones do you actually own Herr?

Hi Erich, nice Scharnhorst picture. Is it an early period one?

 

Hi Skipper,

I go for minty or near mint ones, as I cant be bothered upgrading them

For career insignia, both blue, white and parade tunics, from enlisted to nco to officer I have 33 patches

For Specialty patches again both blue and white tunic ;

14 patches

then enlisted mans collar patches, and Maat (NCO) collar patches, sportshirt eagle, kriegsmarine talley, belt and buckle, drill tunic ,heap of photos, coastal artillery breast and sidecap eagle and a nice studio portrait.

Still plenty more to go

Regards

Herr

 

guys yes the Scharn is in pre 1942 white............

Tired old Soldier Id'd the heavy Flak 105's and a single 150mm turreted housing fitted

 

On its way, french made white jumper eagle, and Coastal Artillery aircraft warning detachment shoulderboard.
The board is rare, the cloth version (according to regulations) is not even in Angolia's book.
although CA is not my main interest, I could not pass this rare piece up !

Will add photos as soon as possible


Herr

 

Looking forward to you getting it and posting it. When someone talks about getting in Shoulderboards-i'm always interested. Can't wait to see that mint pair of ObFahnR.z.S boards your getting as well as that photo your getting showing two crewman (boys) who were part of Schnellboot S-29's crew. ;-))

 

S-29 crewmen fotos ? please elaborate Carl or was this on another forum ?

I'm gonna go dig on that Km shoulder board thing right now

 

well I was almost there. Aircraft Warning Career cypher on the shoulder board :

Single Anchor with crossed lightening bolts with a single winged gull directly in the middle. Quite unusual. congrats Herr !

E ~

 

yes Erich thats the one, but embroided instead of the metal devices as shown in Angolia's volume 3.
Together with C.Evans' shoulderboards they will be the first KM shoulderboards in my collection.
The Scharnhorst talley has still evaded me but had the optionto buy a Deutschland talley but had to pass on that one because of funds.

so far for the Coastal Artillery items : studo portrait and hoheitsabzeichen (breast and sidecap)

Will be back to regular KM patches now lol, getting side tracked.

Cheers

Herr

 

guys, just thought I would give complete update pictures concerning my collection.
If anyone wants to now more about a certain item please ask

First off, career insignia for blue and white tunics, aswell as a sport shirt eagle, talley, summer eagle and officer sleeve insignia.



Second, my specialist insignia, again blue and white tunics.
Aswell as sailor and junior NCO collar patches and EM sport shorts emblem.



Thirdly, my photo side with belt and buckle.


Lastly, my smal coastal artillery collection, with EM sidecap and breast eagle


Not shown but shown before the drill fatigue and pants aswell as collar dickie are in the wardrobe.


Cheers

Herr

 

Hi E, yep-I had a snapshot of two S-29 crewmen in it wearing summer white uniform-and you could also see their specialty badges. Couldn't see hardly any of the boat itself though.

Anyway, I gave this pic to Herr as a little consolation thing-because it took me so long to be able to return something to him that I owed-thanks to no transportation. I forget what all was written n the back of this pic-but it identified those two as part of S-29s crew-as well as being friends.

 

1st pic, bottom row thirdfrom last-I THINK is the trade badge those two crewmen in that pic were wearing ;-)) Maybe Herr can post that pic ;-))

PS, the pic in question I just noticed Herr posted it w/ others. It's the one by that black guilette? or Adjutants cord?
