Hello Gentlemen,

FIRST OF ALL : THANKS FOR NOT POSTING UNTIL I FINISH TO POST ALL IMAGES…..THANKS

As you may know, the Marschstiefel was withdrawn from service for a certain amount of troops in 1941. These troops were then issued the ankle boots adopted in 1937 that now had to be worn with Gamaschen (gaiters). In this thread, my proposal is to show you the different productions of these Rückzugsgamaschen (retreat gaiters) as the german soldier used to call them…

Gamaschen of the first type in brand new condition made of thick grey canvas with leather edging at the bottom. Buckles with roller are covered with the initial light grey paint.

I’m not a medal collector, so these are out of my area, but they came with some other items. I"m looking for comments on these so I know what to look for in the future. I’m looking for comments on the originality, ribbons, suspension, etc. The ring on the Moscow medal is uncut, while the Leningrad medal, the copper (?) ring is cut. Both have the same type suspension. Just looking for key thoughts on these.

Defense of Moscow, Ribbon seems ‘new’ relative to medal which has seen some wear, ring is uncut.
