While at a trift store I noticed a coat that looked military, after a minute of inspecting it I finally found the tag. I believe this is west german? I don't have a photo of the whole coat but I got two photos online that look to be the same. I did take a picture of the tag for future reference. I was wondering if anyone could tell me when it's from?

This SS man is not excited about his Iron Cross 2cl. Maybe he wanted the first class one?

Yes they're called arm of service strips and Yes, Sergeant. Though he dose not have the Royal Armoured Corps Arc for whatever reason.

We’re going to have to take your word on it. Your pictures lack enough detail for us to enjoy any of your items.

a nice war merit cross with swords ribboned for parade use. a real nice example.

a nice example of a mid war flak badge by GWL.

had this badge also like the pilot badge i listed for many years. it is made by Assmann. like the pilot badge i listed this one also has a war time repair from what i have been told. love these Luftwaffe badges.

had this for many years now, made by GWL. was told it had a war time repair which is ok with me and out of all the other badges of the TR i say the Luftwaffe are the nicest.

one of the biggest reproduced items in TR is badges and medals. from what i was told going way back when i started collecting was that the repro's started to be made shortly after ww2. most prevalent were the hallmarked R.S. badges made from original molds. and yes i to have learned the hard way by getting taken by crooked dealers and sellers. you learn as you go.

I am sure it is the same Giesselmann.. His SS number will confirm this..   Leigh 

Thanks for that info. Is the rectangular patch under the 7 AD patch the one for Royal Armoured Corps (RAC)? He is Sergeant rank? Thanks again
