What were the regulations for the Army civilian employees 軍属 to carry swords? Is it true that certain patterns were specifically designed for those people? Thanks!

I think the casings are 7.92×57mm Mauser.
And I found them them in former Yugoslavia if that helps.

A late war Assmann "Raised A" zinc Air Gunner award. It’s a "true" AG as it is not converted from a ROAG (i.e. removed lightening bolts.). Typically you can see this in the design of the talons.

Name is etched on the reverse. Seems to be an odd name. "amelung" but ….it is a German surname. There is a Luft KC winner Heinz-Gunter Amelung but he appears to be a pilot.

Weight is similar to other zinc AG’s (Previttera’s book does not have this variant) at ~26 grams.

Overall it is in fantastic worn and issued condition. I have only seen a few of these "Raised A" Assmanns, and all have lost 100% of their finish but two. This one is certainly an anomaly given that it appears there is some type of "copper/bronze" color below the eagle. You can see it in the etched name and on certain high points of the eagle.

Thoughts on this?

Here are two links on WAF to other examples. They match up perfectly except mine is in better condition. (or maybe it has been cleaned…hard to tell)

Hi, I d like to buy this M36 uniform, it costs 1400€, I posted it everywhere, I want to be 100% sure it is all ok
Is it original , thanks.

Hi,

Could I trouble you for your opinion on this piece? The "flag" was purchased from a well known dealer. The cloth has a few stains but no rips. As you can see there is a strange circular shadow line on the reverse. The Swaz is three piece construction, if you look at the center of the swaz on the reverse you can see a small bit of black thread presumably used during its construction to keep it centered. The wooden rod and hanging device is my own creation. Dose anybody have photos of what an original wooden rod would have looked like?

Thank you!
