Hello collegues!

How do You find this award bar? My question is mainly about the sequence of different German and Austrian awards here - is this logical (regular) sequence or is it strange?

Thanks in advance

Hello one and all,I’m hopeing you guys can help me with this one as bayonets are not my usual thing.:oThis k98 dress dagger has been inscribed and i hope that this is a contempory peice of work.I am aware that there was a guy in the 70’s wrecking K98’s so i’m hopefull it’s not one of his “masterpeices”(the muppet!):mad:Anyway,the bayonet is made by what looks like E&F HORSTEN SOLINGEN.I say looks as i cannot read the last letter in the HORSTE? PART.The scabbard is numbered at the top where the hilt would come down to rest but as the black lacquer is so thick i can only make out ?15.The blade section has no number at all:confused:The top section where it would have been nicely chromed has worn away over the years due to heavy polishing but there is the remains of an engraving there all be it very difficult to see.I have drawn a picture off what i can see through a X20 loop.(don’t laugh i’m no artist!!):DI am asuming that it is supposed to be a TOTENKOPFT with aguy waveing a flag out of a tank but i would like to know for sure what the significance is.The blade however is in really nice condition with the guys name on one side and his unit on the other.I am aware that this peice has recently come from a broken up collection so if you have seen this before i apologise in advance. Any input no matter how small would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

Most of these items have been shown in the Hitler Youth section of the forum but for those who don’t read that forum here’s a selection of Landjahr insignia from my collection. The Landjahr program introduced in 1934 by the Ministry of Education as a program to show that agriculture was a viable career option for German Youth. There were several types of shoulder straps used for male members and two distinct patterns of triangles. The first pattern triangles were black background with gold lettering for males, and white lettering for females. The later pattern triangles were green with a white lettering for both males and females.

First photo is a probable First Pattern Landjahr, but could also be an early Bann Munchen Oberbann 3 Strap.

Second photo is another First Pattern Landjahr.

Third photo is a Second Pattern Landjahr in the 1934 style.

Fourth photo is a 1938 Pattern sew in style

Fifth photo is a 1938 Pattern slip on style.

Sixth photo is a pair for a Landjahr Gefolgschaftsfuhrer. Note the silver twist cord piping that has replaced the standard green piping.

Seventh photo is a interesting "Schwert und Schole" patch type insignia. It appears to be an unoficial insignia. This symbol was used on documents, fahnfare banners, signs, photo albums and other items. This was possibly a part of a pennant or homemade item for a photo album cover.

Last photo is a group shot including the second pattern green and white triangle.
