Hello,
I purchased most of this together, all except the black Dachau patch. The collar tab is missing the pips. I was wondering if there was any other Italian patches for this unit, like the screen printed or BeVo variants? Also wondering do these look period correct to everyone? Another question, why red vs. black for the collar tabs and eagle patch? Also, am I correct in saying there is no cuff title for this unit? Thanks everyone.

I saw this tornister online. The seller couldn’t tell much information about it except it being German and old.

I googled a bit around and I was thinking it maybe could be an m1895 tornister. Probably I’m not even close because this is not really something I have knowledge about.

There are a couple of things which made me hesitate.

First of all it is not marked. The seller checked but he couldn’t find any.

Second thing, the color of the inside. Mostly you see them in a tan kind if color and feldgrau I guess it is. This one is also green, but not the one I see online.

I hope you guys will be able to help me out. And if it is a original tornister, is 40 euros a fair price?

(The pictures aren’t the best pictures. So if it’s needed to get clearer pictures, let me know and I will ask the seller for them. Also if you need a photo of a specific part, let me know!)

I’ve been looking for information about the Order of the German Eagle crosses in different classes, but I’m still a bit confused. Sorry if this is a common question here.

- Some crosses come with a ribbon and some with just a pin. Why is that?
- I’ve seen pictures of 5th and 3rd class crosses in gold and 2nd class in silver. What defines the color?
- Is it possible the cross in the same class exists in both silver and gold version?
- What exactly is the difference in appearance between classes 1-3 or later 1-5?

Is there a good picture guide online of what the cross looks in different classes?

Thanks!

Hello

Recently I bought a black widow byf 41 all matching with 75-80% finish left for $1600. I wasn’t happy with the finish condition as a good amount of bare metal was showing on the grip and to the left of the side plate and on the end of the barrel I actually couldn’t sleep thinking about how rough it was finish wise (even tho very good mechanically and the barrel looked great) The very nice gentleman who I had bought it from had said when I was first meeting him to look at that if I changed my mind in a few days I could sell it back to him for what I paid for it. I did sell it back to him and am now looking for a 95% or better all matching BYF code 41 or 42.

Are the byf’s made in 42 of lesser quality kinda like k98 Mausers got rougher and rougher later in the war??

What price would be reasonable for a 95% or above all matching byf 41 or 42? I know black widows tend to be more expensive but i dont mind the wood grips either so that doesn’t matter as much to me.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I’ve been collecting k98 mausers for years and wish I knew what I know now when I first started because I was burned once or twice over the years.

Thank you all for the help…

Hello everyone on the forum!

It ’s my first post, and not knowing where to start posting I chose this section, I hope not it wrong!

I explain my doubt.
I have a German leather jacket, which was donated by a German Commissioner to my grandfather in the 60’s.
The problem is that this jacket does not have any kind of labels (no brands or size labels).
In addition the buttons present are covered with skin and do not have no symbol behind essi.La jacket has only three buttons, but the style looks military.

It ‘possible that he was a Nazi jacket that all the labels were removed after the war? Or is it a jacket produced after the war?
It is also a military model / police or civilian is?

Unfortunately I do not have much information about, belonging that was given to my grandfather by this commissioner of kriminal polizei.

Thank you all for availability.

P.S: sorry for my english….
P.P.S: I noticed that the collar seams are similar to those: http://www.warrelics.eu/forum/attach…jacket-004.jpg

I just picked up this lanyard last week for $10.00. I think it may even be a real one???? I have a panzer emblem in my collection I want to put on it but the prongs are missing. Has anyone tried to repair the prongs on one of these before? Or does anyone know an alternative method of attaching it to the lanyard?

Thanks
Burt
