Snipers badge

[AntiqueWW2]

Then you would loose House Car your Pets and all the rest too if you would bet this is fake. The Soldbuch is perfect original, problem is you first should read what is written there before you post and say it is put there later......On the first page you see how the Solider got the Camo Jacket and the Camo Net. That was on 21.10.1944, there i guess he was put on a Sniper Unit. I do not know where he was, but if i had to guess it is somewhere in France....and then he was 2 month in Action where he earn the Sniper Badge....not hard to kill 20 Allied Soldiers in 2 Month as Sniper. And then he got wounded and war was over for him.....so that Soldbuch is without any bit of a doubt original with all what is written pre45.

Highly suspicious that the whole book has been de-nazified, yet the last two entries on that page that show the sniper award and the other entry have stamps that show the swaz?
I'd bet they've been added postwar....

[AntiqueWW2]

What are you rambling about. This is the Weissinger soldbuch, nothing has been added. J

Guess he do not know who Weissinger was....i did not know this is his Soldbuch, but i know who he was, and beside this the Soldbuch would be original if its not from Weissinger anyway

[Sonderkommando]

I'm not rambling about anything, and I know about the Weissinger soldbuch from other posts here on the WAF.
All entries relating to the sniper stuff is glued into this book...

As I said, highly suspicious that the book was de-nazified post war, but the glued in page with the sniper entry has visible swastikas?

What's your explaination for that?

[AntiqueWW2]

There is nothing glued in this book, beside that it has a lot of wear on it. But the Weissinger Soldbuch comes from where it comes and do not need any discussion about if it is real.....as well as the Hetzenauer Group what noone here have seen but i did and there the Soldbuch did not look a lot different to this one, but was in the Hand from the Man who had it in the war when i see it, so more proof there is no needed as well. Be sure Sniper Badges are real....i put both my Hands in fire for this

Have you had the Weissinger soldbuch in hand and examine it? Some of the most advanced collectors in that field had and they did not question it? J

[jacquesf]

Hey guys, who is Weissinger? Is that a collector or a soldier?

Jordan

Weissinger is the austrian/ soldier/ sniper who the soldbuch belonged to. J

[Stossgruppe3]

So am I to assume that both these so called sniper badges are original ?

The following comprehensive thread on the snipe badge. http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...ghlight=sniper will give you an perspective on the latest think about the sniper badge. Make up your mind, but to some those are accepted originals. J

[AntiqueWW2]

It is hard close minds to get to what things are....anyway it is really time i think to settle this Crap here once and for all. So here are the original Documents, from Adolf himself where he Order the Sniperbadge as well as the Letter to the Heeresbeschaffungsamt for Production of the Badge as well as the Award Document for one Badge. And these are original Documents out from the OKH. And i hope now everyone is understanding it, and whats more important, see in the Soldbuch what is posted here what it is....a extreme rare and unique Document and i regret to these day that i trade mine with something else

[AntiqueWW2]

And for everyone who now still say it is not enough, i do have between one of my 450 Filmroles one on where a goup of Snipers are filmed with 2 of them when i remember correct wearing the Badge. It is a very big afford to look now again to all 8 and 16mm roles i own but i will do this and as soon as i found it i will post a few screenshots from it here that hopefully the last one is then happy too

The ones you posted are not considered original. The thread that is referenced on this thread is a good study on the patch and shows what are the excepted pre 45 versions.

Finding a picture of the patch in wear would be great. As of today there is only 1 picture I am aware of that shows the sniper patch in wear but it is so covered with computer lines (to prevent copying) as to make the photo pretty worthless for study. The poster of that picture has never responded to numerous requests to post a “cleaner” version of his photo.
