Yeh Thats why I got them, must have belonged to some Vets who collected the badges. I think they are very unique

I learn a lot here too pammy, though I am jealous of some of the stuff you find!!!!

I like to show you a picture of German navy veterans on Wilhelmshaven Navy Base.
During war they worked as navy employees in security service or as drivers and s.o.
You see they all wear a kind of uniform with armband "Deutsche Wehrmacht". Some have rank insignia and medals. The flag left side shows the words "Marine Verein" means Navy veteran association.

Somebody likes to get the original picture?
