Paul,

There wasn't really that much infantry in the DAK. Most of it was Panzer grenadier. I was really happy to pick that one up.

Blitz and Trade Badge

I have been collecting for 30 year and these forums sometimes confuse me more than educate me. I have many signal blitzes and trade badges that i believe to be original. Under black light some of the bottle neck green ones look slightly brown. I also have many pairs of RFV Zoll shoulder boards that the underside green looks brown under the black light. I know these to be original. I know the black light test is controversial but were all of these wool or were some of them felt ? Is that why they are changing color or are them fake. Any insight would be great.
Thanks
Joe

Hi Matt, is that a yellow?gold tropical example in the first pic?
I have not seen one of them before.

Thanks Matt, I did wonder and as I posted previously, I have never seen a yellow/gold on a tropical backing.
