very nice collection ! Can you make a few photos of all your loose insignia including the metal ones but not taken in such an angle ?

Well done and thanks for sharing !

Thanks!

Ok, will take a few photos, hopefully today.

Yes, those are from U-534 (been told so, more info here:http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=596607) which is now in museum and where two her Enigmas and rotors are.
U-534 was carrying unusual number of rotors and was, based on some sources, working with two connected Enigmas for further improvement in coding and decoding.

Interesting. Many thanks for the answer.

Trying to photo my loose-cloth insignia collection looke much easier before I pulled all those patches out of the bags.

Now I figured out I have plenty of those nice items :-)
So, let's start!


First my metal KM insignia, and after that the ones for blue uniform:

some more for the blue uniform, than we start with the white one ;-)
First three whites (reserve career) in a column are glowing under blacklight so I think they are BW, not KM.

[amiklic1]

the rest of whites, and we go to specialty patches:

[amiklic1]

officer career insignia and officer candidates career insignia:

sleeve rank insignia of various types, and combined rank/career insignia.

I found it interesting that blues have career on them and no rank, while whies have rank but no career insignia ;-)

Red one is Marine HJ, I've been told.

and the last ones, white specialty and two sports patches.

That's all folk.

I'd also like to ask if anyone has some I do not have, I am always willing to buy or trade for them ;-)
