Heer Signal Leutnant summer weight Tunic, complete & all original

An interesting Signal Leutnant summer weight tunic I've had for some time...since the early 90's. It was acquired at a Polish fleamarket.

All insignia are original to the tunic. It is missing a Kuban or Krim shaped sleeve shield but the shadow is visible and can be discerned in the photo. The boards are slip on type that heve been stitched down at the shoulder.

All original~!

Tunic has dagger slot under pocket flap.

US $1250

What could EK 127 mean if it is scratched into a spoon?

I have a spoon with faint German scratched into it. It is NOT the typical army spoon. It is made out of aluminum, has a German brand marking, but nothing "Nazi" on it. I am, however, 100% sure that it is from WWII. (Just take my word for it.)

The engravings are very faint and the only reason I noticed them is because I held it a certain way under the sunlight. It reads, "(Finmal?) kommt die Studne. Machs gut Alter!" and then, under it, E K 1 2 7.

What on earth does/could EK127 stand for? They are all next to each other, leading me to believe it is not his initials.

M42 SD Wehrmacht…fake?

Hi everybody,
I found this helmet in a market near a small town in Nord Italy, I think is repainted and the decal also is fake, but the shell and the liner?...what do you think?

Question Kriegsmarine Officer Reefer Jacket

Hello,
I don't collect uniforms but when I saw the condition and quality of this jacket I bought it. It's in unused condition, no mothing that I can see. It also has loops for three badges. Does the eagle look like it's been re-applied? Opinions appreciated. And could someone give me an idea of value?..thanks

Question Collar Tab help

Greetings!

My first post here and I hope that you'll allow me to benefit from your expertise in this area.

First a quick background to what I need help with. I play the game WWII Online which is a MMO recreating the war in the west aprox 40-42. In this game I'm a member of the squad 116th Panzer Div. "Der Windhund" for whom I do a lot of graphic work ( I design all their awards etc). My latest project is to design all the insignia so that each player can have their rank on their personal (Honor Roll page) (Look at my page, "TeufelX" for an example of insignia and medals). I'm doing this in Photoshop as layers so I can keep the parts and recreate any rank and branch with ease and I'm trying very hard to make it look legit.
I think I've got the Heer/Panzer collar tabs down, but still need the dimensions and angle of tilt for the Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine tabs. Also have some related questions I hope your knowledge will help me answer.

OK,now to my questions (this time ;) ).

1. What are the dimensions of the Luftwaffe tabs (+angle of tilt)
2. Same for Kriegsmarine
3. I've seen a lot of piped Heer tabs, when should a tab be piped with waffenfarbe? (any particular time, ranks, branch?)
4. I've seen Litzens backed by tabs in waffenfarbe, when would this be used?
I love doing this research as I'mlearning a lot allong the way and hopefully some day I'll be able to put it to use for my own collection.
Anyway, thanks in advance for all help!
