I recently made a post regarding my Great Grandfather’s Uniform. I am having trouble finding a normal M36 uniform, the one he wore, and I thought that someone might be able to help. If anyone knows some sources or have one they are willing to sell please let me know.
Note: If it’s a Pioneer Engineer uniform, that’s even better.
Thanks!
For reference, here is the picture of him.

Admittedly I’ve never studied these badges closely enough to understand the good ones from the bad so I’d like to get some opinions on this one before I pull the trigger on it. Obviously the pin hook has been straightened (for whatever reason), but otherwise what are some thoughts on this one from the experts?

Thanks!

Gents,

This is the one and only Ostmedaille that resides in my collection. So, with no stamp to be found on the suspension ring, I’ve decided to utilize the database that another member was gracious enough to provide a link for and do a little investigating on my own as to whom I believe the manufacturer was. With looking over various characteristics these medals possess i.e.: various shapes and styles of eagle heads, beaks, feathers and talons and also noticing the serifs and medal outline positioning in relation to the hand grenade and helmet, I’m led to believe this medal was made by the firm: Julius Maurer, Oberstein.

I truly must say that with looking over the various manufacturers’ unique characteristics and styles, I could see myself collecting more of these. Shame on me for only owning one for all of the years I’ve been collecting.

So, in closing, I look forward to those who have more than I and are more knowledgable with these to let me know if I’m correct.

A year has passed and a new "Militracks" is waiting.
It will be held at Overloon this weekend, May 19 and 20.

Maybe we meet there?

This is the last update from the organization:
Hello Militracks friends,

Current status of tanks and tank destroyers on our list:
•Königstiger: we have good hopes that it will be here. And from today onwards we will publish all new info we get on the KT vehicle page (check our vehicle list right here on this page) so make sure you take a look at that if you’re interested in the Königstiger …
•StuG: too many troubles getting it through Germany (because of Kriegswaffentransportgesetz) will probably mean that it won’t participate this year.
•Hetzer: ready for transport to Overloon
•Renault: ready for transport to Overloon
•38(t): again, administrative troubles in Germany have blocked its participation for this year.

Militracks is on Saturday 19 May and Sunday 20 May 2018. The military collectibles market opens at 09:00, at the same time as the gates to the grounds open. The vehicles begin driving starting at 09:30. From that time, there will be on-going rides, with a short lunch break at noon. Militracks lasts on both days until 17:00.

New this year will be the Restoration Centre, a technical workshop where skilled craftsman (in German: Handwerksmeister) will show you how they restore historical vehicles. We think that there will be a lot to see and a lot to learn.

Riding is in principle possible the entire day, but there is naturally no obligation: Militracks is namely, above all, a sociable event where people with technical interests can meet each other, exchange experiences or make purchases at the large military collectibles market.

The location in the woods, with the museum within arm’s reach, makes a day at Militracks an absolute pleasure for young and old.
