Nice cap Matt. Here is my latest, another luft pith.

I really have to start taking some photos soon. I've just had a few too many things going on at the moment so just can't seem to find the time.
Here is a recent addition from a friend in Germany, faded tan panzer NCO shoulderstraps with brown wool backing. Just perfect for the faded tan nco tunic in the collection.

And a few more pics.

This year has been quite good and includes the addition of three 1st pattern tunics, numerous early brown wool backed shoulder straps, quite a few tropical breast eagles, a Afrikamutze with removed pioneer soutache, a pair of '40 dated tall tropical boots (the date was a huge surprise) and most recently a pair of straight legged tropical trousers amazingly dated '40 and which neither NZMark nor I can fault.
I had planned to take some pics this weekend but have just been too busy to do so (getting dark now). Perhaps when I move into my new home in a few weeks (the wife is letting me use a 3x3m room as the office/museum).

Take care

Mark

P.S. Unfortunately I never did receive any of the PzGren shoulderstraps which I purchased from a South African collector here on the forum. Pretty disappointed about those and out quite a bit of money.

Nice shoulderstraps, i love it that you can see where the button was attached.

Perhaps when I move into my new home in a few weeks (the wife is letting me use a 3x3m room as the office/museum).

Well, it's obvious to tell who wears the pants in your marriage.

Rommel's Intelligence in the Desert

Hello,

Here is one of my favorite soldbuchs. He served with 3./Horch Komp. 56; later renamed Nachr-Fern-Aufk-Kp. 621.

They were Rommel's intelligence in the desert.

Nice straps. Looks like one is wool piped & the other is rayon piped...I like the slight mismatch Look forward to more pics of your new items.

Named Dak officer pic, spring 41

Hi, I bought this a few weeks ago and it arrived today. The translation reads, oberleutnant and kompanie chief Gottfied Muntau? nordafrika, spring 1941.

Muntau, Gottfried, 16.08.1942, Hptm., III./Schtz.Rgt. 115 as part of 15th panzer div, awarded DKiG also later with LVI panzer corps as IA and with rank of Major, july to dec 44.

Also, what do people think is hanging from his tent? I think it is probably a canvas wash bowl, or less likely a trop cap?

Thanks, Jerry

also awarded the Commendation Certificate of the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, on the 05.09.1942 (1181), Hptm., Btl.Fhr. I./Pz.Gren.Rgt. 115

Super Photo, Jerry.
I believe the item is indeed a wash-basin?
Love those small breast pockets on the early tunics...
Mark.
