    rail road! (Reichsbahn) The collar tabs are early post war unfortunately...
    (no swastika). The magazine is from March 1943 and goes well with the railroad theme!
    Note the embroidered Wuppertal RR eagle, rare as most are found in BeVo as depicted!

      Heer

      HEER stuff...self explanatory! But the medical tabs are worth high lighting as these are the M44 (late war) BeVo FLATWIRE officer's tabs and come with RBNr stamped on the back! Good late combat uniform tabs!

        common and rare

        Some common and rare. The late war jager patch on brown thin cloth material is worth mentioning, as its rare (and was very expensive)
        Somebody e-mailed be that he had seen one mounted on a late war tunic in brownish-green wool.

              KM lot

              Nice set of KM insignia, enlisted as well as a mint set of a celleon yellow officers cap insignia, coming my way from Sweden! I really like Kriegsmarine and I am happy its so underappreciated, so I can take advantage of affordable goodies!!!

                wreath detail

                KM wreath detail!
                Celleon was a more suitable material (better choice than bullion gold wire in combat conditions),
                as it was better suited against the invironment (salty ocean spray), but less flashy...
                Well suited for combat caps = "high seas mission" caps and "U boot" skipper's caps !

                                Keeping with the KM the theme, here some better images of my latest KM uniform, a Naval doctor!
                                The "slip on" shoulderboards are interesting as these are less common than the KM "slip through" "T" boards, which were attached through a hole in the sleeve shoulder seam. Per Angolia this pattern was also used and I'm pretty sure it was a war time period development, following the other branches.
                                So a war time tailored piece! Text book with removable buttons!
