Askold's WH foreign volunteer collection.

You can see just the trace of the cufftitle on the fellow on the left. The fellow on the right is wearing another trident belt buckle - this time its unofficially custom made one.

[Askold]

I hope nobody minds me posting too many photos. One more pic, the cufftitle can be seen on far left. The photo is from 1942, so I would guess the cuff was produced between 1941 and 42.

[Gaspare]

Wow, your really are having a very good year so far!
Congrats on the cufftitle, a rare piece indeed.

The buckle I've seen too. There is a nice one every year at the big Kiev show in the summer. Not really for sale, just a display item with some others....hey keep the photos coming!

? TURKISTAN Shoulder Boards...TOPS

? TURKISTAN Vol. Shoulder Boards...

Hi Roman,

A friend acquired these Boards. They look a lot like your TURKISTAN Shoulder Boards, shown in Post 15.

The Tops are Black (but with a hint of very dark Green, to my eyes) - & - the Piping is a light Blue "Powder Blue" color.

What do you think about these Boards?

Attachment - TOP Side (at 2 different scan levels - of same set of Boards.)

Thanks Dave!

Dblmed:

Both boards are OK, with the Ost boards there are many variations and some variation in materials. Both look legit

Picked up a BBH "Heil Ukraine" miniature. Made in Vienna.



Size compared to the actual "Heil Ukriane" badge:

[D Davies]

Congratulations Roman the miniature looks great.Is the large badge the same type as the one i have seen on ebay with a asking price of around nine thousand dollars?.
Cheers
Dave.

[Askold]

Yes its the same, but this is the later un-numbered version. I don't really think the badge is worth THAT much. The very same ebay badge was sold from Ebay Germany and went for 2400$. Someone is trying to make a profit by re-selling it, but nobody will buy it at that price.
