Mystery flyers badge
Hi Guys, can anyone throw any light on this badge? I realise it is Imperial German Marine aviation but anyone know anything else? It is 85mm wide and of stamped hollow gilded brass/buntmetall.There are remains of frosting lacquer and the highlights are burnished,as would be a pilot badge of this period. It shows medium wear/use and has a hinged pin and catch setup. I do not think it is a patriotic badge,it has more of an official feel about it. Nor I think it is a cap badge as the pin setup says otherwise.Any info would be great.Ferg1.

Walking Stick With An SS Connection
Here is another nice item that I will be offering at the upcoming MAX Show.
Surviving for the past sixty-plus years, this walking stick
was from the Hermann Göring estate at Carinhall and
later in the possession of Alfred Stöhr, then a young SS
man barely eighteen years of age who, first serving with the 11th
Waffen-SS Education Regiment at Nuremburg, later was assigned
as a personal SS guard of Adolf Hitler at the Obersalzberg in
Berchtesgaden. Earlier he had served a short time on the front
with the 8th Waffen-SS Cavalry Division.
The walking stick is made of German oak, the national tree of
Germany. It was most likely from the Obersalzberg-Berchtesgaden
area located in the German Bavarian Alps and for an unknown
reason, had been mysteriously cut from the original size to
fourteen and one half inches long.
Affixed are ten vintage and rare badges circling the walking
stick, a deer with the engraved words Obersalzberg that was the area
of Adolf Hitler and Hermann Göring’s estates. Below the deer is a
Munich Hofbräuhaus badge, the Purtschellerhaus, St. Bartholomä,
Almbachklamm, and the Kehlsteinhaus, also known as the Eagle’s
Nest, is a chalet-style building which when built was an extension
of the Obersalzberg complex built by the Nazis in the German Alps near Berchtesgaden. The Kehlsteinhaus was an official 50th
birthday present for Adolf Hitler. On the backside are four badges
depicting Innsbruck, Zugspitze Münchner Haus, Kaiser Wilhelm
Denkmal – Porta Westfalica, Kitzbühl Tirol. Evidently, the original
owner of this walking stick was an avid hunter.
The stick was cut most likely due to it being split from the bottom up to just below the badges. This was concluded later after I had included it in my book.

Novice helmet question
For years I've wanted to ask someone...
On German infantry helmets of (I believe) WW1 and WW2, you sometimes see on either side at approx. just above ear level, a sort of cylindrical "knob", which does not occur on all similarly designed helmets.
What was the purpose of that knob?
Having the answer, I will then retreat back into my ignorance of German militaria.:confused:

Question War Merit Cross 1st Class With Swords Boxes
Hi All, my question is was there a standard type of box used with the War Merit Cross 1st Class with Swords made by '65' Klein & Quenzer? I've had a look on the net & seen the type maker named on the silk on the inside of the lid. I've also seen the un-named type with black silk inside the lid. Did they use what was available or have a specific type? Cheers, Richard.
For sale: Luftwaffe NCO visor cap.Flight section.Named size 56.
Hello and welcome,
I am selling here a very nice Luftwaffe NCO visor cap for flight section.Its a size 56 as far as i can tell and has an original name tag written on the back of a small section of WWII vintage cigarette packet.The name is Rudolf Senger and it also has Teko (for technician?).The original alloy eagle was de-nazified and has been replaced but i will include the original one if you would like it:)
This cap is in excellent shape with only slight mothing to some of the piping and the front section of the sweatband is missing possibly due to a unit mark or other detail's they wished to keep secret.It does however have an original section of political poster anouncing Knights cross winnners still in place behind the band.They often used newspaper to pad out the sweatband to improve fit as most visor collectors will already know.This example also has the padded top for use with flight head phones and an extra quality visor without seamed edge:D
A very nice cap looking for a new home as i don't collect Luftwaffe.I would gladly swap for a battle worn Kriegsmarine Helmet (any model) or an NCO visor with original insignia.In fact anything you might consider of the same value.
