      Not sure if this is military.  Would someone be able to translate any of this? Thanks for any help, Ken

      heres a real one from the gettysburg museum of history collection... a couple of things look wrong when you compare, but the mushiness of the back side eagle head & swastika messiness would make me skeptical. and the fact the markings on the wrong side.🤷‍♂️ but im not an expert on these buckles.

      Now here's a grizzled old Combat Officer for you, a winner of the Blue Max, no name given  (I hate when people upload photos with no ID or anything don't you!). Since he's seems like one of your older Officers, a Major it seems, he probably is a Reserve Officer, maybe even Landwehr i.e Major der Landwehr etc.

      Hey just now found a photo of this actual captured Soviet SU 57, at first we thought it came to grief under German ownership, but it seems to be parked and has a tarp covering it's nose, we thought at first it was it's engine hood blown up, like it was hit and the hood got twisted and stuff.

      Lets enlarge it   Yes the Zeltbahn is Italian, no doubt just the standard Italian Army Issue, the jacketthe one is wearing, now that is costume made, even looks like this one is wearing an Gas Cape Bag in camo  too.   These troops on the other hand are not from the HG Pz Div, as they wore White Collar Patches, that's when they wore them in the field, as at some point in Italy there wear was verboten, with those dark collar patches are probably from one of the Luftwaffe Field Divisions that was in Italy, the 19th or the 20th FDs, which would make them a Green color.   The reason I say they're from one of the FDs, and not Flak, is because Flak units both Luftwaffe and Army, were completely motorized and or mechanized, and really would not be humping their stuff like this, that stuff would just be stowed in their vehicle, there's the chance their vehicle was down or knocked out, and they have to walk now, but for now.....FD.

      Saw this photo and screen shot it. Luft troops (Herman Goering / Fallschirmjägers?), are they wearing Italian camo? and are the bed rolls the same patter? Pardons on the small picture.

      5th class is Knight class. Looks like yours is missing the rosette from the ribbon that would have made it 4th class

      I have never seen an SA buckle with flattened prongs.   i am concerned about the incomplete pebbling on the Luftwaffe buckle. Please refer to the two originals I have posted.
