        Hey Jacques, maybe the only safe way is to buy a one with a tunic as a group. IF you trust the seller, of course

          BW Aiguilettes did not use the ferrules, or "pifken". The East German aiguillettes have more tubular"barrels" than the TR era ones. I have seen original ferrules placed on Volksarmee aiguilettes to try to pass them off as WWII-era items. The bottom aiguillette is WWII issue. The top one may be based on the barrel, but what organization? Even doormen wore aiguillettes in the Third Reich:

            Hi Don and thanks for your input.
            The other one with the ferrules is not of WWII period?

              Don,

              The one with ferrules is an original army full-dress aiguilllette introduced in June, 1935. It was predominantly worn with the waffenrock.

              May I suggest that you consider investing in Wilhelm Saris's excellent reference "Aiguillettes of the Third Reich" (Bender).

                Thanks for the replies guys. Was every aguillette different according to the branch of service? For example the LW ones were different in appearance or details to those worn by Heer?

                  Correct. LW Aiguillettes have no ferrules, SS aiguillettes had the SS runes on the ferrules, and there were different variations and stippling to the brocade depending on the organization.

                        That's an awesome display.
                        I thought to get one LW aiguillette but i can't match it with my tunic as it's not an officers one. EM didn't use aiguillettes right?

                          Don,

                          I like your tunic.

                          You can liven it up with a marksmanship lanyard.

                          Here's a Grade 5 but you can get the basic Grade 1 easily.

                              Nice idea Mike.
                              Very nice collection you got there. Have you posted it in the forum? I would like to see more if you don't mind

                              I have never seen a blue waffenfarbe on LW tunic before. What does it represent, a medic?
