December 13, 20214 yr #12 Very nice! I particularly like your #8 tropical Summer weight Infantry Officer tunic. What is the khaki colored cloth material? BTW, I removed your duplicate post for you.
December 13, 20214 yr Author #13 Thanks Sarge ! Not sure what the material is. It's not HBT and lighter than gabardine. Also not as heavy as the Green DAK next to it.
December 13, 20214 yr #14 Hi. Is that a railroad eagle in post #11 or was it mounted to something else? I also liked your Mother's Cross display; quite appealing to the eye. Finally, are your KC's wearer's copies or authentic examples? Thanks again for posting; your collection is quite nice!
December 13, 20214 yr Author #15 I have 2 railroad eagles. Both above the entrances to my office. The KC's are actually EKII's that have been field modified to look like a KC. Soldiers sometime's did this because they didn't want to take the chance on losing the KC.
December 20, 20214 yr #18 Excellent collection, thanks for sharing it! I've always wanted a Railroad Eagle, very cool that you have two.
December 21, 20214 yr #20 Great collection; I noticed some have KCs on them. Are any of them named? Any part of groupings?
April 1, 20233 yr #22 Interesting collection, nicely displayed. A few comments. The Infantry Hauptmann, fully piped tunic, is wearing an Adjutant's aiguillette. It should be held in position by a small button under the right shoulder board, near the shoulder seam. The Infantry Hauptmann shown wearing a Schutzenschnur (marksmanship lanyard) - Officers did not wear marksmanship lanyards and the lanyard appears to be an East German one with a TR shield.
