Wehrmacht Collection

[Dixon Cannon]

And if there is one Kriegsmarine guy (Prien), One Lufwaffe Guy (Dixon Cannon), and one Heer guy (Baggypants) I have to call myself An Afrikakorps guy
Because I love U-boats and the KM but my "love is with the panzers in the desert" This is an old uniform of mine and it is a not very good repo, but it was my first. I removed one of the rusted TK's to put it on my hat ( I am going to buy a "10" pack more of them to replace the ones on my unifoms. My left breast pocket has an EK2 ribbon but the picture doesn't show it. The guy I bought it from (a friend in LA) said it was used in either the movie Tobruk, or Indiana Jones because It has a big Ain the inside and he told me that what they did in hollywood; not sure thought?

Sehr gut! Ausgezeichnet!

I can't help you on any markings on your DAK uniform, StetsonHomburg. I don't study/research any other branch so I couldn't help anyone with anything regarding them - just strictly U-Boats is all I'm involved in.

You do have some nice uniforms though!

 

[StetsonHomburg]

Thanks, I am actually selling now just waiting for an offer.

 

[The Lonely Navigator]

If you're selling - have you thought of posting on the Wehrmacht List (Yahoo group)?

I don't realy want to make a whole yahoo account just to list a uniform, I think it'll be best to list it here http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?p=1014101 and if it dosen't sell on here in a month or two I am sending it to ebay

 

[The Lonely Navigator]

Yeah I understand. I had belonged to them, but as they mainly deal with the ground forces, and some Luftwaffe, I don't participate there anymore (or the Axis reenactors forum) for that matter either - due to the same situation.

I can't relate to their subjects.

 

[StetsonHomburg]

Well Mr. Lorient, have any other hats or uniforms to post; Interested to see them!

Signed,

Mr. Tripoli

I just purchased a new hat, it is my first Waffen-SS cap, I actually hate the SS but I have an small interest in the Gebirgsjäger Scince I read Infantry attacks by Erwin rommel, when he was an alpine troop in the First world war.
Here is a link to my new Bergmutze : http://cgi.ebay.ca/WW2-German-Gebir...emQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item27b1e48e41

Hello

I'm not a member of that forum, which may surprise some, but that is a very nice board to visit. I've stopped by there quite a few times myself to read information.

Well welcome to the Forum!
Nope there are a few of us here.
and I used to be a member of the wehrmacht awards,
but scince I only collect replica's (Because in alberta
you must be 14 to get a part time job) I couldn't afford
originals so I just quit....

Anyways Welcome again!

 

[StetsonHomburg]

I am just testing out photobucket to see if it is better than Imageshack: and what do you know...... It is!
I added a T-Alder Officer insignia, 1942 German Dust/Sun Goggles, A worn edelweiss, and a small stick pin
badge that reads Heeresbergfuhrer (A Badge given to qualifid mountain leaders/guides.... (Sorry about my
crappy sewing, I have never sewn BeVo insignia before!)

 

[Chris Dillon]

Thanks for the welcome, guys!
And you're right, Stetson, it is a PRICEY hobby! Between that and old suits, I'm doomed!
I'm loving that Bergfuhrer bage!

I really don't mind, post some pictures, I want it to be more of a share your
whole collection than just my collection...

 

[StetsonHomburg]

Here is my new Waffen-SS Field Made Camo Cap (Oakleaf A Reversable)

I like having a wide variety collection!

 

[The Lonely Navigator]

I would post more - but I do not have any more uniform caps. The only other things I have are my reefer jacket, medals, leathers, 2 stickpins, Deutscher Flotten Verein pendant, and repro. WWI German Naval officer's dagger.

I'd like to get a repro. WWII style German naval officer's dagger, as I found where I can get one. The only difference is that instead of the swastika, it has the fouled anchor.

I've also thought of getting more WWI repro. related items - like WWI U-Boat badge, cap, etc.

Actually Now I would have to say I am a Gebirgsjager (5. Gebirgs-Division)
.... In which gives me an idea for a new thread......
