New article(s) .......

[François SAEZ]

a . We have started, with Jacques the article on Spanish Crosses, but as we want it to be like the DK one, we look (high resolution pics)
- All classes (close up on makers)
- Cases
- Wartime photos showing the wear
- Copies of official documents (orders, Verordnungsblatt Nr.)
- Documents, entries in both soldbuch and wehrpass.
- Fakes and reproductions

b . I will start an article on cuffbands of the flying units of the LW, but again I am looking to have it as complete as possible.
Will be covered:
Jagdgeschwader Richthofen
Geschwader Boelcke
Geschwader Immelmann
Geschwader Horst Wessel
Geschwader Hindenburg
Geschwader General Wever
Jagdgeschwader Schlageter
Legion Condor
Tannenberg
Jagdgeschwader Udet
Jagdgeschwader Mölders
Afrika (blue)

The support text will be provide by Gordon W.

But to illustrate the article, for all of them, I am looking for:
- All of them (close up on lettering + obverse & reverse)
- Wartime photos showing the wear
- Copies of official documents (orders, Verordnungsblatt Nr.)
- Documents (Verleihungsurkunde (award document) and a paper authorizing their wear (Besitzeugnis)), entries in both soldbuch and wehrpass.
- Variations (backed up if possible)
- Fakes and reproductions

As you can see, winter will be long
Proper credit will be given
Waiting for your help on both article (remember good/high resolution is better)

Do you also want pics of cuff titles that are on uniforms in our collections?

[François SAEZ]

Hi Kai,
Yes,please, send me as much pics as possible, (high definition - you already know) - and thanks for your help.

Yes, the more you can, high resolution, close up on the lettering, the way it is sewn, general view of the tunic with the cuffband visible

Francois:
I continue to work on the cufftitle articles on the Forum. At present, I am drafting an article on the AFRIKA and AFRIKAKORPS cuffbands.
My approach is largely from an Army/Heer perspective. To be complete, it should include Luftwaffe - which I can do, but perhaps we should colaborate in this regard...as I am not a Luftwaffe collector.

Hi,
We will do has you want, but if you prefer to make a larger part with the Army in your article(s), I will cover the LW ones in the one I am preparing with Paul W. - I already have the text and pics.
Anyway, we will work together
Friendly
