Hi Ron,

Thanks for the kind words, but thats a very nice laurel wreath you show yourself. It reminds me of the wreath that the men are holding on the large shooting award i showed on the previous page (more on that here: http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=645717 ) and which shows that the ideas behind the awards and items are not just random wild designs but well thought out. Really interesting.

Sport and the Third Reich

I am glad to see that there are others out there who are interested in sport related items of the Third Reich. The collecting opportunities in this arena are vast. I collect sport uniforms and insignia. My collection was displayed at the MAX last year. Pictures of the display are on WAF--search "MAX Show Seminar" or my last name--Newbrough if you want to see them. I wrote a two volume book on the topic: "Sport and the Third Reich". I will post some pics of the book so that you can see what I am referring to. Happy hunting!

More pics. I tried to cover as many topics as possible; however, I learn new things every day about this topic. So, a third volume may be needed.

Dear Rob,

Thanks for joining this topic and reminding us of your books. Im a bit ashamed to admit they are still on my (way too long) wish list. These sample pages look very good though, let's see if i can convince someone here that they would make a nice Christmaspresent.

best regards,

Hi Gents,

Some beautiful items displayed on this thread, and Rob's books look stunning too!
Have a few sports related items in my collection, but nothing of any significance.
Understand that even the more common cloth sports badges are now being copied in great numbers; anither blow to our hobby.
Seems almost everything is being tarnished by forgers these days!


Best wishes,

John.

I belive that the metal oakleafs were suposed to be handed in to a juvelier when a sufficient amount were won and then mounted in to a complete wreath.

I have somewhere a comercial from a juvelier or workshop, offering this type of mounting. Also I remember Detlev Niemann once selling such a complete and named wreath, it was realy fantastic.
