Anyone know anything about Heer IR 117 in WWII? I've got a leather overcoat with 117 1st Lt. boards.

Hi guys, Found this. I think it's WW2 vintage but cannot find anything to match on the net. I'm in Australia so suspect it's Australian / British. I can see 'Telephone 44c' and 'Telephone hand No2' ok cheers Francis

Wehrmacht Awards Forum, watch out though there are a lot of sharks on there, I am banned under the same name I use here. War Relics Forum, a lot of decent people on it but I am also banned there too. Gentlemans Military Interest Club GIMIC, and lastly recently banned from there too so your on your own on these fora, there is a lot of good information on them but there is a lot of crap and fraudsters. Good luck! Rich -

What is WAF & WRF? Different forums or different topics on this forum? I've never tried to get on any collector or history forums before this. -
Soldbuch from both wars
Richard Auld replied to Richard Auld's topic in German Soldbuchs, Wehrpasses, Documents & Citations
Well, looked them up 24 Kidney problems, 30 ear infection, 31 injured due to enemy action, 31b splinter damage shell fragment and finally 31a shot as well. I think he earned that wound badge.... Rich -

Guys, as stated above. Started with 2. Pferde-Transport-Kolonne 571, got that from the FP number but it is just about discernible from page 1. Impresive for an old boy that he got EK2 and Inf sturm with a wound badge too.. Looking up the wound codes now.. Rich -

Richard Auld replied to Augustus63bc's topic in Junk Shop Treasures
Yes, its difficult, I'm sorry I can't help any more. Don't rely on the black light as a positive, I have lots of period material and thread that I have found over the years. I use it to detect post war material but that does not mean everything is 100%, it is a good sign but 'half empty'! Can you reach out to any 'experts' on the more main stream fora? You could try WAF, WRF etc? -

Thanks for the reply. The only marking that I could see inside the cap was the size. I can take a closer look later. These are some images that I have already taken of the inside. Under a black light there is no shine on any part of the cap. Even the white parts of the insignia are completely dull under a black light. It seems like someone sewed original insignia on an original/reproduction cap later on (perhaps a KM hat like you mentioned). I haven't done the black light on the inside of the cap. From the images of totenkopf that I have looked at online it seems like there are a few different variants so it's hard to compare with others without some more experience. I'm not necessarily looking for reassurance that it is real. I just want to accurately identify the cap. So appreciate the honesty. -
Nice group out the skip.

Guys, a lot more paperwork, these being the highlites. There is a lot of unit produced magazines, if I get time i will scan them in, they are from the son, the young luftwaffe bloke. Love the wound badge doc, quite unusual? Rich -

Richard Auld replied to Augustus63bc's topic in Junk Shop Treasures
Hi, I haven't had much SS stuff in the hand, yes I see the pictures but if I had a hat that needed to be rebadged then this would would be the simplest way to do it? Also it would disguise a KM hat , which has a very similar cut to the SS? Are there any SS markings inside the hat? My glass is always 1/2 empty until proven otherwise. Best Rich -

Actually there is a period photo of the camo cap with the square sewn on patch in the book also. Has anyone seen this on an m40? -

I bought this 2nd pattern m40 overseas cap from a military collectibles store. I have not found a single period photo with the totenkopf sewed on square like this. It's boarder is always sewed around the skull. Could it be an original patch that was sewed on later or just a fake? I have found an image in a book of a camo field cap that was sewn on square like this, but not a period photo. The thread that sewed the patch to my example is black on the front of the patch, but the thread that comes out the other side on the back holding it on is closer to the color of the cap. Inside the cap is marked size 60, but no manufacturer. -
