Specific equipment (engineering and on this case mining; I couldn't resist to scan these little flags they actually used to mark paths through the minefields; they seem to remind me of something) one HUGH diffrence tho , if i read the text correct, then these flas were used to mark safe walking spots (or lanes at it is written) ours are mark the unsafe spots.. lol a friend of mine collects this stuff, everything with world war 2 and vietnam, he has lotsa badges and even Nazi general daggers, nazi helmets with bullets holes in them, and almost all medals, emblems and original uniforms.. A Combat insignia like shown in zecs post will cost original anything up to 400 euro (depending on quality).. |
