Hi Gents
Well I was lucky enough to pick up this very special and I would say somewhat rare grouping to Oberjager Werner Musch . Musch was one of the original paratroopers to have fought the whole war and survived. I don’t have much more information on him so if anyone can help I would appreciate it.
I initially went after the portrait and somehow ended up buying the whole grouping from different collectors so it was great to be able to put the grouping back together.
The rarest part of the grouping is obviously the Heer jump license, up until now thanks to some help we know of only 7 Heer jump licenses to have survived the war. I am sure there are more out there but would like to know if any of you have one of these in their collection ?
The reason they are so rare is because there were no more than 400 licenses issued and all were expected to be turned in and destroyed in exchange for the Luftwaffe jump license. Obviously some guys got away with these and kept them.
This particular Jump license is the 1st pattern (FIK) License which was issued only twice. Musch got his on its second issue date. The first licenses were issued 1 week before the first jump badge documents. License: AUG 24, 1937 and Badge Document: SEP 01, 1937. The second (and final) issue of that license was on the same day as the badge document: DEC 18, 1937.
Musch fought with Fallschirmjager – Regiment Hubner in North Africa and as an added extra to an amazing piece it has Ramckes signature on the bottom.
