Kaiserliche Marine Mützenband. Regards, JustinG

The Marinekorps had their own bands and by researching including their own band. There are several units and divisions. Worthy of it's own topic deep dive. Yes, it is very interesting. Lots of cool history. Best Regards, JustinG

Occasionally, you can pick up pieces like. rivits and struts. They are grossly overpriced IMHO. There have also been cool awards constructed like table medals: the British made a table medal of Lz15 bringing down from aluminum used in the construction of the airship as recognition of their...

S.M.S. HELGOLAND

S.M.S. Bremen

Just my take/bit: I don't trust AI and their evaluation or historical context. For the price that is being asked, I would expect Mr. Weitze and his crew to have fetched more concrete data from say the BundesArchiv for this piece. Claims that were made in the description: If there were only...

Here's another nice one I just added to my collection Thanks for looking. JustinG

Again, jawless SS skulls are also a possibility vs Armored (panzer) insignia. The Danziger style was continuous and copied by the Armored and early SS. Size being a difference. 1934 is when the SS changed to the full jaw Totenkopf design. The Photo you shared does show a soldier wearing a...

I am always a bit skeptical. These badges were also used by armored units of the second world war as you stated. These are a minefield as well, as a highly reproduced piece. If you are happy with your purchase, that's all that matters. Best Regards, JustinG
