This Tank Officer wears some kind of insignia on his helmet, might be a painted on squat version of the tank cap badge.

Manny, if you had made them white I never would have known about crews painting them yellow. I always enjoy learning something new.  mikie

Hey guys, thank you for your kind comments. Lars, yes the Panzer balkenkreuz's look yellow because the original white crosses were considered prime targets for anti-tank gunners, so the panzer crews colored them yellow. I feel like I should have left them white. Later on they went to the balkenkreuz that we all recognize.   Semper Fi.   Manny

Awesome helmet.  

Yes, I looked it up some more, and it looks like a m1840 Officers sword. If it goes for the price it is now, I think ill go for the gamble on it.

Hello John & welcome to the WMF!

A piece marked Germany was made in Germany but for export. That's what that usually means. I'm seeing what looks to be a US Army eagle on the guard and the details on the end of the scabbord could be American as well. Is it issue or something you could buy from a catalog? I couldn't say but it's looking American.   And F. Decaro's coming up on Indian War US gear. https://www.ima-usa.com/products/original-u-s-m-1872-light-cavalry-saber-with-nickel-plated-scabbard-by-d-abbate-f-decaro?variant=31994100351045

Hello, I found this piece up for auction, and I would like some help with identification. It is labeled “Germany” on it, along with “F. Decaro”. I don’t know if this is a US piece, or foreign, but I hope you guys could help me. Thank you

Not all were WaA marked.  

Very subtle camouflage.  Nice!
