The distinctive inspection down-wing eagle identifies this as Luftwaffe issue.   Nice.   

Nice!  

The black background at the center does not appear to be crimped in.  Is this square piece glued or painted ?  

I see no red flags with your holster.  It appears to be un-issued and in nice condition for a 7,65 police pistol.     Here is a similar police holster in black leather. 

Welcome.  

Hello everyone!  Sorry for the delay in updating, but we really wanted to get some research done on the ring before moving forward. The wonderful Robert McDivitt delved into the archives in D.C. last month and sent me over (50) pages of research, which will all go to the new owner when the ring when sold. It was also authenticated by D. Boyle through the auction house. Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions throughout this process--we started at zero and learned so much along the way! The ring and presentation box will be auctioned through Ratisbon's in April. For details, click here, and thanks again! https://www.ratisbons.com/11th-usa-auction/ss-honor-ring-with-partial-case-ss-sturmbannfuehrer-helmut-giesselmann.html

1st item…sleeping bag straps…for securing the bag when rolled up.

I'm not liking that, particularly the clasp: if it is genuine, then the clasp is a later replacement.   Best   Mike

Confirming these are WW2 Army collar tabs. I've seen a yellow stripe through the center, but not a green/olive.    

Here's the show flyer for the upcoming Des Moines, Iowa Military show: April 17, 18, 19, 2026. Held in conjunction with the Trade Show Productions Ltd. Gun Show in Des Moines, Iowa. All information is shown on the flyer. I hope to see you there. Thanks, Alan        

I think this is it. 

Here is a case of rank insignia I inherited from a friends collection several years ago. i plan on redoing the case and labeling them for display
