I have picked up a box full of flare rounds, a mix of german WWII and what I suppose to be WWI flare rounds in a cardboard box. Is there somebody with more information on them? Pierre

Fallschirmjäger badge good or not?
Pierre C. posted a topic in Combat & Service Awards of the Wehrmacht
I would like to have your opinion on this one. There is a faded Juncker marking in the back (hard to see on the pic but possible with a magnifier). The weight is 34g which should match with a type "J" hybrid (Durante's book on the FJ badges). The flat-topped rivets are there. Pierre -
Luftwaffe Visor Peaks & Shapes
Pierre C. replied to JasonA's topic in Heer, Luftwaffe, Kriegsmarine and Waffen-SS
Now I understand why it's so hard to see a LW visor with a great shape on the market . Congrats to the owners of these beauties. Pierre -
Spanish cross w/o swords bronze
Pierre C. replied to John Jury's topic in German Cross: Iron Cross, War Merit & Knight’s Cross
And especially desirable due to the fact that this award has been worn. Pierre -
I think that there are serious chances that this set of awards are belonging to von Krosigk. The place where he has been buried after the soviet air-attack which killed him is unknown to the Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge (he isn't in their database). He got the KC in 1944 which perfectly matches with a Klein & Quenzer KC. Pierre

LW Observer Bag
Pierre C. replied to Jan Arne S's topic in Heer, Luftwaffe, Kriegsmarine and Waffen-SS
Beautiful condition. I think that these small ones are made for the single seater airplanes. Pierre -
As for the Spanish crosses I still don't know which maker I prefer between Juncker and Meybauer. I'd think that the Meybauers are harder to find than the Junckers. Very nice one, Jacek but concerning this one isn't it a gold grade in silver? Pierre

Many thanks to Jacek and Sebastien for your pics and explanations. Pierre -
Great job with the finding of this picture Hans, the ribbon bar seems to be a perfect match. Definitely a good find. Pierre

I am a big fan of your J1s guys, thanks for showing them. One question: has somebody already seen some really thin ones? In Previtera's book the early ones shown have all the "regular" thickness. Pierre -
Show your Bomber Clasps
Pierre C. replied to Pierre C.'s topic in Combat & Service Awards of the Wehrmacht
Nice ones Peter. Thanks for sharing. Pierre -
If your friend can tell you close to which place these awards have been found it would definitely help to identify who might have worn them. I have a list (perhaps uncomplete) of generals killed in action and the only name of a KC holder General killed in action in Kurland I have is Ernst-Anton von Krosigk. The problem is that he also got the oakleaves... Pierre

Kriegsmarine feldgrau tunics
Pierre C. replied to Eduardo D.'s topic in Kriegsmarine & Küstenartillerie
Great tunics Eduardo in really amazing condition. Thanks for sharing. I especially like the officer ones. Pierre -
Very accurate portrayal!
Pierre C. replied to Adam S.'s topic in Heer, Luftwaffe, Kriegsmarine and Waffen-SS
It makes me think of the movie adapted from the italian comic books "Sturmtruppen". Pierre
