Interesting Reichsparteitag Picture

An interesting photo which can be found in a post by Big Ned in the Photograph Subforum. The picture is part of a collection owned by Time Life. The pictures were taken by Hitler's personal photographer. Although identified as taken in 1938, this picture was taken likely in 1935 or 1936 at Reichsparteitag. Note that all of the SA kepis still bear the 1929 pattern national emblem, which would not be the case by 1938. Of interest is the SA Oberfuhrer or Brigadefuhrer in the foreground. He is wearing a kepi that appears to be that of an other ranks. There does not appear to be either officer piping or tresse. Of other interest to the political collector is the SA officer standing on the stand holding a Sturmbann Command wimpel. Two can be seen in the photograph. The man is also wearing the four pocket tunic and a transitional brown helmet with some form of decal, either the SA helmet insignia or possibly police. Also note Goring's stomach protruding out from the line of SA generals.

Flare Pistol- Roermond

Sorry I omitted this pic on my first thread

I was told it was French but used the same calibre as the German equivelent

It had some wood on the handle when I found it but unfortunatley decayed and fell off

PS has anyone any tips on preserving my rusty relics as most of them have just crumbled and I know I need some form of protective treatment

Thanks

John

170mm Bty disc?

Dimas,

I will photograph my way through my tin of discs, I'm sure there will be a few duffers in there that you will spot.:)

I like artillery related items as that was my trade.
