had this badge also like the pilot badge i listed for many years. it is made by Assmann. like the pilot badge i listed this one also has a war time repair from what i have been told. love these Luftwaffe badges.

had this for many years now, made by GWL. was told it had a war time repair which is ok with me and out of all the other badges of the TR i say the Luftwaffe are the nicest.

one of the biggest reproduced items in TR is badges and medals. from what i was told going way back when i started collecting was that the repro's started to be made shortly after ww2. most prevalent were the hallmarked R.S. badges made from original molds. and yes i to have learned the hard way by getting taken by crooked dealers and sellers. you learn as you go.

I am sure it is the same Giesselmann.. His SS number will confirm this..   Leigh 

Thanks for that info. Is the rectangular patch under the 7 AD patch the one for Royal Armoured Corps (RAC)? He is Sergeant rank? Thanks again

Some examples from the web,  

Tailor made Officers tunic, could have been made in Egypt, the buttons are leather which many officers preferred, rank would have been on epaulette slides. The difference between Officers and other ranks styles are the bottom pockets on the Officers are bellows and O.Rs are flat and the buttons would be brass or plastic.

A Cut Out, some unit, during the Polish Campaign maybe Artillery.

11th Hussars (Prince Albert's Own)  They were a divisional troop unit under the HQ of the division, reconnaissance, Relived from the 7th Armd Div in November 1943, their place taken by the 8th King's Royal Irish Hussars .

Looks like this WW2 soldier is sporting a 7th Armoured Division patch. Can anyone interpret the other patch/badges he is wearing for me? Thank you.

I ran the info in AI.  AI seems to think this tag belonged to someone in Jager replacement company 45.  Any further help is greatly appreciated.  I am not very well versed in translating these tags.  Thank you.  

Hello everyone, I would like to show a General Assault Badge (Allgemeines Sturmabzeichen) from an estate grouping. Type: General Assault Badge in silver Material: zinc (non-magnetic) Manufacturer: Frank & Reif, Stuttgart (marked on reverse) The badge shows the typical design with eagle and swastika above crossed bayonet and stick grenade, surrounded by an oak leaf wreath. The reverse is maker marked “FRANK & REIF STUTTGART” and features a vertical pin setup. The hardware appears to be typical for this maker, with a hinge and catch consistent with known examples. The finish shows expected wear and typical zinc characteristics. I would appreciate any opinions regarding originality, maker characteristics, and classification. Best regards   Michael
