flatwire,FlAtWiRe,FLATWIRE!!!

Things being what they are, I haven't bought anything exciting in awhile. And It's been even longer since I've posted anything on the WAF. I apologize for that.

But here are 3 nice crushers that I purchased a few years ago - all from trusty WAF members no less!

Flatwire badges are one of the things I love best about Heer Alter art offizier feldmutzen. Notice that on all three of these examples the badges (IMO) are of untouched wartime application.

Artillery!

Hand-stitched adler and hand-stitched wreath.

[SgtB]

Infantry!

Hand-stitched adler and machine-zig-zag-stitched wreath.

[SgtB]

Panzer!

Machine-straight-stitched adler and machine-straight-stitched wreath.

[SgtB]

Notice that the panzer adler was hand-finished around the wreath! Typical Deutscher uber-kraftsmanship!

[SgtB]

All three with their skycap counterparts. Notice that der drei schirmutzen represent the 3 most common types of insignia combinations found on TR Heer visors.

1.)Artillery (HPC): Metal eagle and bullion wreath.

2.) Infantry (Erel): Bullion eagle and bullion wreath.

3.)Panzer (CW?): Metal eagle and metal wreath - in this case not original to the cap but both in high quality, bright white aluminum! I believe the cap originally carried combination insignia as in #1.
