Cheers everyone,

Recently I’ve become interested in collecting children’s uniforms from WWII. I was browsing eBay today and came across these shoulder boards which appear to be very small. I was wondering if anyone knows if these could be from a German child’s uniform that was made to match his fathers. any help is greatly appreciated.

thanks,

I just got this pack last weekend, and it’s a bit of a strange one.

It’s made of thin material instead of the normal thick webbing, similar to the
"Ersatz" material seen on some types of straps, but not as stiff, and single layered instead of the actual strap bits, and those don’t have the inner stiffener seen in the regular Ersatz straps.

The only markings are a broad arrow with WB under it, and a faded 4 which might have been someones ID number.
There might be something after the B, but it’s not very visible.

It looks very old, so not some recently made thing, and has usage marks.

What I’m wondering is where does this fit into the webbing series and why it’s this material, and if it’s British or from any of the other commonwealth states.

Hello,

I am struggling to identify the collar tabs. The picture surely does not help much, I am afraid, but hopefully could somebody with a trained eye recognize what kind of unit this officer belonged to.

Could it be artillery? Or maybe some other type of unit?

Any thoughts or remarks regarding further details are more than appreciated. I aquired this picture some time ago and try to learn as much as possible. So far, I just assume the picture could be taken around 1943 or later as the officer seems to already have the Eastern Front medal in his ribbon bar.

Thank you.

The Hannahs Reich site Hanners Reich has a very nice grouping to an LAH member who appears to have ended up in the Grenz Polizei of the SD. It even looks as if he kept the Danziger skull from upgrading his cap (Unfortunately not there). The rock has restored insignia. Am I the only one who thinks the Grenz Polizei cufftitle on the black rock is a bad choice. It is however a nice grouping. Thanks

Hey guys, also came across this piece from the same collection as the Uboat jacket. I cannot find much reference material on this. The jacket looks really good making me wander if it is an original or reproduction. Thanks for any help
