Different Misc. Insignia

[Fred Green]

Hello,


After I went to the Monroe County Dairy breakfast, dairy month in Wisconsin you know, I dug through some ryker cases looking at insignia. I found a couple of different pieces to share.

A. The first one is a plain and simple post 1940 oberschuetze patch. The reverse is the interesting part. It is the makers mark on the bolt of wool!

A Gasunteroffizier specialty patch made up of 2 pieces of scrap wool.

A nice feuerwerker patch with piping and price tag

Here is an example of a signaler patch that was made during the transition from RH to Heer. A RH Infantry blitz on a dark Green ROUND background. Notice the light blue bobbin thread.

Another transition piece of a third reich styled artillery signal blitz on a dark Green ROUND background.

Another transition manufactured patch with a Third Reich style infantry Blitz on Reseda green badge cloth.

And yet another transition piece. A Third Reich style pioneer signal blitz on a reseda green badge cloth.

The last 2 are simply my favorites being RH and cutoffs. The first one is the first pattern RH Richtkannonier and the second is a set of RH marksmanship awards.

Hey Fred,

great finds and very interesting details!

I used to have two similar Feuerwerker Patches. They came from different sources in different times, but they are definitely from the same manufacturer and the same batch as yours.

Best regards,
Andreas

I also have this strange thing for how things are manufactured and packaged for sale. Here is a car of buttons.

And I believe a half card. Notice the remnants of the tissue paper they were wrapped in.

Here is a piece of tissue paper that a set of dress Infantry officer collar tabs and cuff bars were wrapped in. I still have the insignia. The tabs and bars are in the third picture.
