An excellent condition armband for a ‘serving’ member of the N.S. Old Comrades Association (Reichskriegerbund). Navy blue heavy wool armband, with the centrally affixed RKB association emblem in Bevo weave material. One or two surface moth nips, but otherwise excellent used condition.
A good pair of used 2nd pattern Luftwaffe dagger suspension straps. Straps with use, and some slight fraying to strap edges. All fittings are present and in good working order. Grubby in places, and would benefit from a lite clean.
A damaged Luftwaffe dagger scabbard. Missing the lower hanger fitting. Said fitting has been at some point in position, their is evidence of where it was fitted, sadly now absent. Slight damage to the the remains suspension fitting (see image). Priced really for the original usable parts, screws, throat fitting, liners.
A good WW2 Defence medal, being part of a group and its box of issue. Possibly 2 or 3 medals missing from this group. Named box to the recipient. Defence medal in its wax packet and length of ribbon.
A very nicely engraved silver wrist ID tag to a serving officer in the Royal Field Artillery. The officers home address in ILFORD Essex is included in the tag details. See tag for full details. Good size tag, with one side fitting broken open (A reasonably easy jeweller repair).
A good albeit small ID tag in terms of the ID plaque as well as the wrist size to an officer serving with the Royal Engineers. Engraved name, number and religion details only. Reverse with an old pawn shop marking.
As copies of this medal go, this is one of the better I have encountered, and in my opinion struck with the intention of deception. Sold here at fraction of the price of an original. Sold with a length of original ribbon.
