This German bugle belonged to a friend who passed away some time ago, and his widow has asked me to determine what organization used it, and to determine if it has any value..The eagle appears to be the style used by the SA/NSKK or perhaps HJ. The body is constructed of tombak, with nickle silver trim. It is 11 inches in length, and is about 6 inches wide. Other than the eagle on the bell, there are no markings. There are minor dents as shown in the photos. Thanks in advance for any help that you are able to provide.
Here is a basic SD Luft, an NS in a small size 62 with a nice pigskin liner. The liner may be a replacement , but it matches the overall condition of the piece and displays well. The paint is very well preserved but for a spot on the top due, I believe, to poor storage post War. There is some scaling on the interior apron that somewhat obscures the maker/size stamp, but in hand it is clearly an NS62, with lot number D264. The best feature of the piece is the Luft bird, which is in exceptional condition but for an unfortunate but minor hit on the forward wing. Overall, a decent example. Hope you like it. Jim G.
Could Somebody tell me how much this would be worth? I know it isn’t in perfect shape but considering it was left in a fort for almost 100 years, it has stayed in almost excellent condition.
Marking are PGF (Polish Guard Forces), the G letter was erased i don’t know why
I saw they were used by guards for germans prisoners camps at the end of the war
Did you already see a liner with this insigna ? (In real or on original photo)
I saw german, british and french models with it but no with US liner
My question is : do you think these two helmets have a link ? Or just an adding to complete the steel helmet ?
Would the HiPo Serbian and later 3 police volunteer regiments
(Yugoslav ethnic Germans) have the police arm badge or as they were formed to support the police and gendarmerie have been issued with the white hilfspizei armband ?
