Originally posted by Wouter J View PostHi Nick, first of all I would like to say that you've got a very. very nice collection over there. Do you have any Dutch pre 1940 tunics as well? Also, the insignia configuration on that Algonquins battledress looks very odd. A 1st. div occupation army stripe above the 4th armoured div patch? Very unusual to say the least!
Regarding the Canadian BD, I now own it. It came from a Canadian Museum
that was thinning out its collaction. Had too many (vet donated) pieces apparently to put on display...That's the story but I've seen images of the museum (previous owner of the BD picked it up personally from the museum while he lived in Canada....now back in California)
Its an untouched vet donated piece (straight from the family). We both were wondering and did not know what the red stripes ment...So those are occupation stripes...(early post war) We were both thinking perhaps infantry branch stripes like the Brits wore... Anyway it is a war time tunic dated 1943. Here's another image!Attached Files

Sorry about the flash...these are behind glass...
This German period poster announces an upcoming artist's contest, where participants
(German soldiers in occupied Holland)
could enter their art work (paintings/drawings) and photos even,
which had to depict Holland as a subject matter... (1941)Attached Files

and signed by Erich Hartmann! He passed away in 1993 I believe...So no more signatures.... He was considered the Ace of Aces with 352 confirmed kills at war's end, continuing his career in the Bundes Luftwaffe.
Barkhorn passed away in 1983, so that tells me none were signed by him... as these prints same out in 1989...Attached Files
