ussjfkcv67 Posted January 19, 2019 Share #1 Posted January 19, 2019 Here is a continuation of my West German collection. Can anyone tell me if the first photo is indeed West German insignia and if it is what are service stripes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud Kraut Posted January 19, 2019 Share #7 Posted January 19, 2019 Again, some very nice insignia you have posted here. To my knowledge these insignia I have copied from your pictures are not Bundeswehr: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SARGE Posted January 20, 2019 Share #8 Posted January 20, 2019 I believe the two horizontal bevo style bars are DDR rank stripes for the utility uniform of the Kampfgruppen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Kraut Posted January 20, 2019 Share #9 Posted January 20, 2019 I'm curious about the red collar tabs. They do indeed look very similar to the yellow Luftwaffe ones. Could these be specimen of collar tabs that weren't introduced finally? I know we have some "1957er" medal collectors on board. Could the depicted Fallschirmschuetzenabzeichen be a postwar 1957er bullion varaint of these insignia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Kraut Posted January 20, 2019 Share #10 Posted January 20, 2019 I believe the Navy insignia with the 4 angles are NVA Volksmarine officer candidate sleeve insignia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could the depicted Fallschirmschuetzenabzeichen be a postwar 1957er bullion varaint of these insignia? I think you may be on track for both the collar tabs and the paratroop badge.
