New articles : Holster, shoulder boards...

[rafaelega]

Hola a todos,

Soy nuevo en este tema y estoy en proceso de aprendizaje de todos ustedes, me pregunto si me puede ayudar en esta cuestión. Porque yo soy novato en el tercer Reich, probablemente las colecciones que acabo de hacer algunos errores y comprar algunas falsificaciones. Quiero saber su POV. sobre el siguiente material: Holster marcado "HG", shoulderboards, breasteagle y partituras de cuello (de dos parejas diferentes).

muchas gracias,

[JPhilip]

Hello Rafaelega,
welcome to the forum....
The holster is for a Walther PP, a Sauer or Mauser pistol, i don't remember excatly, but for a 7,65 mm pistol at least (maybe 6,35 mm ?, too hard to see its real size sorry)...
SB for an Infantry Hauptmann are legit sew-in examples...collar tabs are legit as well....but the eagle is a reproduction IMO.
Thanks


ps : even if you think that your english is not good enough to post on the forum, at least you should try in order to communicate with all our members. If they can understand what you want/need, some might be able to help you out...thanks in advance

Thanks a lot JPhilip. I note that I had a mistake because I originally wrote the explanation in english but perhaps the Google translator that I use convert it to spanish. I will translate the first explanation (in my bad english of course):

hello,
i am new in this theme and I am in learning progress of your knowledge. I wonder if you can help me in this question. Because I am novice in Third Reich theme probably I am making some mistakes and I probably bought some fakes. I wish to know you Point of View about these articles: Holster marked "HG", shoulderboards, breasteagle and collar tabs (I think from two different pairs). thanks in advance

By the way Could you explain me What kind of breast eagle I must buy for a "legit" Hauptmann?

thanks,

Rafa

Hello Rafael,
Your english is OK...
For a german Officer, as far as breast eagles are involved, you can use an bullion embroidered example or a silver flatwire example. There are known pics showing Officers using an EM eagle as well.
I can post some pics to help you identify each type if needed...
Thanks

[rafaelega]

Yes JPhilip please post some images in order to help me.
Thanks again

Hello Rafael,
sorry for this very long delay to post the picture....
Here you can see the embroidered breast eagle above (salty one unsewn from a relic tunic) and a mint flatwire eagle below...
Thanks
