luft Feldwebel sleeve rank insignia

[brannow]

Hi All,

Last week I bought a large grouping of insignia and these luftwaffe Feldwebelsleeve ranks were in there.

My questions are:

What is the difference between the materials?

What are the ranks?

What are they worth?

Thanks in advance.

Nice originals. The single gull on gray are Unteroffizier and I'd say they're $70 for the pair. The single gull with two horizontal bars is a Major, and I'd place it at $75. The two gulls on tan is Unterfeldwebel, $50. The single gull with one horizontal bar is a Leutnant, $60. The four gull Oberfeldwebel is actually two Unterfeldwebel pieces sewn together, $80. The tan material is for flightsuits and flight jackets, the gray was to be used on the track and field suits.

yes these are being repro'd of course like anything in this hobby, but the ones shwon in the first posting (brown) are embroidered
on the correct backing material (to match the flight suit) and fine originals.
No comparison!
