Here's a Combat Fatality of the Guardia Civil in Iraq. a High Ranking Officer. Comandante Gonzalo Pérez García Pérez García, KIA in an insurgent attack at Diwaniya on February 4, 2004 -

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. -
By Aedthir · Posted
These were part of a militaria estate grouping and I am assisting a family member with identifying if these are real or reproductions. I don't collect WWII German militaria so I have no knowledge in this area and would appreciate any assistance. -

Actually, I have to retract that. I should have paid more attention to the crest. This is from a Colombian Army unit assigned to police Panama before its independence in 1903. I've seen unreferenced mentions that the Column was active during the 1000 Days' War, still under the command of Huerta. So, if true, the buckle is from the unit that defected in the 1903 war and ultimately became the short-lived Ejercito de Panama. I'd say this is still a rare piece; I haven't seen one before. -

Apologies for the grave dig. That's quite a rare piece you have there. The Ejercito de Panama was formed on Panama's independence in 1903 from a 250-man brigade of the Ejercito de Colombia that defected to the US/Panama side of the conflict, led by Gen. Esteban Huertas. Huertas overplayed his hand and threatened a coup in 1904, whereupon the US Government pressured the Panamanians to disband the Ejercito and replace it with the Policia Nacional. So your buckle dates to a narrow band of time from 1903 to 1904. A "Columna" is just a type of military unit common in Latin America. The size is variable and context-dependent, usually somewhere between a company and a battalion. Given there were only 250 men in the Ejercito de Panama, the Segunda Columna was probably something like a company (-). -

This is the ARVN Ranger Qualification Badge issued by the South Vietnamese Army. It was awarded to some U.S. troops and advisors following qualification. I believe this to be a U.S. made version.
