eagle cap - reichsbahn oder kreisleiter
by
BOB COLEMAN
The cap eagle is not political but the civil model. It appears to be gilt finish which would have come off a Reichsbahn cap, which is the German Railway system. The cap would have been worn by an employee.
What makes you think it had a gilt finish? I've found a similar eagle here on this kreisleiter cap.
That said, here's a Reichsbahn Schirmmutzenadler that looks similar, though has markings on the back and different style clasps (instead of pins on the one in the collection). (link below)

I love the forks! ....... one nicked from the NAAFI canteen and one from the Germans ( + a can opener )
Practical souvenirs for a GI

Very nice collection you have there, especially the plate from the tiger tank, impressive piece. Some really interesting ones too.

Thanks, Ben1596 and Danmark! I was very excited a few days ago to discover where the plate was from. The forks are very cool. The German must be aluminum, and weighs significantly less than the British one. Clever Germans!

Took some chunks out of the Coliseum, found a roman "constantian?" coin, and took up some small bits of mosaic from a floor in a Roman bath. Not sure of anything about the ring. Unfortunately didn't come with any sort of label. Two marks in it shown in the photo with the fountain pen.
Thanks for following along! You have all helped me realize several pieces in here that had previously been mysteries or semi-mysteries. The yellow cylinder, the whistle, the label saying "lizzie" rather than "limey," the tin eagle and the burlap bag with the eagle on it too.
The only other pieces I'm unsure of are the silver colored star, the unit distinctive attached to the garrison cap (distinctive is a word you've taught me), the ring, and the black pieces of fabric stabled together.
I look forward to future comments!
You can almost map his path through Tunisia ( souveniring Arab jewelry and bits from German tanks ) and up the boot of Italy ( a rock here or there ), R & R in England ( and some pinching of cutlery ) and then into France & Germany. Maybe the black lacy things are garter belt snippets from his exploits liberating France ....oo la la!!!
It has been a privilege looking at your treasures! ( glad we could help a bit )
