INSIGNIA - 001 - 26470C
- NATIONAL HUNTING ASSOCIATION BROCADE INSIGNIA
This Hunting
insignia is an oval shape, being 4½ inches long and about
3½ inches wide. The insignia is a green felt material.
Running around the outside border is a very fine bullion being
in a thin tress. Inside of the insignia is a brocade aluminum
bullion stag head. The stag has large antlers and the details
to the deer head have been enhanced through the use of black thread
against the aluminum bullion. On either side of the stags
head are the initials of the organization respectively DJ.
In the center between the two antlers is a mobile swastika. This
swastika is a black color and is superimposed over a set of aluminum
bullion sun rays. This insignia would have originally been sewn
to the sleeve of a Hunting Association tunic. This does not look
as though it has ever been issued. A real beauty here! Mint. $295.00

badge was worn by SS Polizei Division soldiers, when they returned
to their normal police duties. The patch was worn on the lower

which has a silver colored woven Police eagle, with wreath in

INSIGNIA- 017 - ARMY OFFICER SHOULDER BOARD WITH STALINGRAD CROSS
This
Leutnant grade shoulder board is the identical piece that appears
in Angolia's Führer and Fatherland Book on page
74 and 75. I purchased it from the individual who bought it from
Angolia when Jack sold his medals collection. This shoulder
board is a standard type having fine gray cording consisting of
eight strips rounded at one end. This cording is applied to a
white color Infantry felt bottom. The cording and felt is in totally
perfect condition. Applied to the center area of the cords, is
an aluminum cross highlighted with a blue color in the legs. This
cross has four evenly sized legs which flare outward at the ends
in the Maltese design. Each leg has a pebble pattern with a floral
design at the end of it. There is a blue background applied to
the center area of each leg. In the center of the cross is an
open winged, Army eagle which clutches a swastika. Beneath this
eagle is a ribboned slogan, "Stalingrad". Apparently,
this cross was given to commemorate the bravery of the 384th Infantry
division which was destroyed at Stalingrad in January 1943. The
new division that was mustered must have worn this decoration
in tribute. Collectors tell me that this is an extremely rarely
seen honorarium. It is in fine condition and looks exactly like
it did when it was pictured in the Angolia Book. A great item
for insignia collectors.
Near Mint (23953) $495.00
INSIGNIA-018- EARLY SA COLLAR TAB
This
collar tab is of pre 1939 construction and looks exactly like
the black and white photo on page 172, lower, of the cloth SA
book by Angolia. This collar tab has three pips and therefore
is the rank of SA-Obersturmführer. Apparently it comes from
the area of Westmark / Niedersachsen as it is in a dark brown
felt background color. Beneath the three pips are two white lines
which signify the higher rank. This SA tab is piped with a black
and white alternating cording. On the reverse it can be seen the
cloth covers a burlap style interior. These early tabs are quite
rare and would look really good displayed with a nice early SA
dagger.

is the full 60 inch length. Apparently, it has never been issued.
The hatband itself is a black lined material which measures slightly
more than an inch in thickness. In the center is a gold woven
name of the ship to which the recipient would have been assigned.
In this case, it is written in gothic German in yellow gold Segelschulschiff
Horst Wessel. The Horst Wessel was the sailing ship that
the Kriegsmarine used to train new sailors. The ship was quite
a beautiful thing, having three masts and a fine, white superstructure.
At the end of the war, this ship was captured by the United States
Navy and, today, is used by the United States Coastguard to train
our new sailors and it has been renamed Eagle. This
set of cap cords is in choice, pristine, mint condition. Mint.

INSIGNIA-023- 26537
JAGDGESCHWADER UDET CUFF TITLE
This Luftwaffe
cuff title was worn after the death of General Udet, who committed
suicide on 17 November 1941. Udet was a friend of Herman Görings
and was made the Chief Air Armaments Officer of the Luftwaffe,
a job which he could not handle. His ineptness, combined with
alcoholism, caused the suicide but, since he was such a popular
man with the Luftwaffe, the general public was told that he died
testing a new aircraft. Members of Jagdgeschwader 3 wore this
cufftitle. This example is of all dark blue wool and it measures
about an inch and a quarter in width. It has a sewn border on
both edges and in the center is raised white thread sewn in the
bevo fashion. It is very beautifully done and appears to be unissued.

of "Saar", and beneath, is an Imperial-like helmet.
The helmet rests on a red weave, and below this, are the colorful
shields of Bavaria featuring blue checkering and a split black
and white shield. I assume this shield represents the Saar area.
I imagine this patch would have been worn after the annexation
of this area in 1935.

This sleeve
patch is an oval shaped type which is about 4 inches at the wide

body of the eagle. The same bright accent threads have been used
in the wreath and swastika below. The breast eagle is sewn to
a dark green wool background. On the reverse, there is residue
of paper material which originally covered the entire area. This
breast eagle has some traces of thread where it may have been
taken off of a uniform. A very beautiful item here, and perfect
for display with an Army dagger. Mint. $75.00

This Sleeve
Eagle is the type that is a white cotton weave over a darker black
wool backing. The cotton eagle is beautifully detailed and it
looks to the viewers right with open wings and clutching

This Army bullion
Breast eagle appears to be an officer type. It is a field gray

eagle which is in a gilt surface. This eagle has tremendous definition,

This customs
disc appears to have been made of pressed aluminum and it is oval
shaped. It measures approximately 3¼ inches at the high
point and its diameter is about 2¼ inches. In the center
is an open-winged eagle which looks to the viewers left.
The eagle retains a wreathed mobile swastika in his claws. The
bird is not the Customs type, but the writing around the top of
the medallion seems to indicate it had something to do with Customs
services. The pressed out writing is Reichsfinanzverwaltung/Zollgrensschutz-.
Obviously, this has something to do with the Finance and Customs
Bureaus of the Reich, but I cant find it in any books, so
I dont know what it is. The gilded appearance would tend
to point towards a Sea Customs function, but, again, I dont
know. At the bottom of the medallion is a stamped number in a
small plaque 26462". The backgrounds of the medallion
are pebbled and there is a double line border. Excellent Plus
