This forum topic is for the purpose of coming together to identify Romanian militaria. Please post your items here.
Royal Guard Regiment from the 1930's. Color indicates Air Force Blue and Anti-Aircraft Black. I know that there existed an Air Force Guard Regiment in Cluj during the 1930's. However, not much is written about this unit. I have photos of an officer from this regiment. This particular group of insignia has the neck color patch in divided 2 colors with the other half in black for Anti-Aircraft Artillery. Can anyone shed additional information about this group of insignia and of the Regiment :?: |

A very large shoulder sleeve patch in bullion for a Munitions transportation snow sled driver for the 2nd Artillery Regiment. The sled looks like it has boxes behind the driver for carrying artillery shells. I have photographs of WW1 and WW2 soldiers wearing shoulder sleeve patches. However, I beleive that this type of insignia, shoulder sleeve patches, are extremely rare and perhaps not officially authorized. This patch is unknown to me and looks to have been made in WW1 or the 1920's. I hope this guy got hazardous pay. |

Can any one identify this badge :?: I have seen this badge with and without crown at the top. The letter are "S.R.R." I think that it may be for an NCO School. Silver badge with very nice enamel. Circa 1930's. |
| Posted by: REGAL UNIFORMA COLECTOR July 19, 2004 02:13 am |
Here is another badge that is unknown to me. School for Ensigns or Lieutenants :?: Note the star and chevron insignia on the badge. This is a very early made pin back badge. Possibly of WW1-1920's mfg. |

| Could it be a variation of the badge of Straja Ţării? |

There are 5 variations that I know of. Blue enamel gold gilt Blue enamel silver Gold gilt with thin blue enamel border (Not shown here) Silver with thin blue enamel border Silver minuture badge applied over a silver Order of Ferdinand. Same size as these badges. (Not shown here. Was this piece reserved for wear by members of the Royal Family) :?: I do not know why they had so many variations of badges or what the classifications of the badges are for. Anyone know :?: |

I wonder if it isn't in fact "F.R.BOX" which might stand for Federaţia Română de Box (Romanian Boxing Federation). Even today they use the same acronym in the address of their website: http://www.frbox.ro/ (even though it does not seem to work). |

 Here is an interesting variation of the WW2 Torpedo-Boat badge. This one is different in that it has a gold frosted finish with red and blue enamel. This badge has a fast torpedo boat in the center of the badge insted of a seahorse over the letter "V". The crown is red and there is blue enamel lettering in the circle that reads "MOMENTO AUDERE SEMPER". Does anyone know of this badge ? |

This could be a WW1 italian torpedo boat badge. Italian torpedo boats were called MAS that stands for "Motoscafo Anti Silurante", the italian poet and war volunteer and hero Gabriele D'Annunzio gave the name MAS a new meaning in latin: "Memento Audere Semper", "Remember to Always Dare". Italian MAS torpedo boats were responsable for many succesfull sinkings of Austro-Hungarian ships in the Adriatic, among them the battleship Szent Istvan. |

| http://img356.imageshack.us/my.php?image=photoa11pz.jpg http://imageshack.us Can anyone identify this WW2 uniform ? He is a Second Lieutenant and wears the model 1941 tunic with war time plastic buttons. He also wears a Boy Scout leaders military badge. What I have not been able to identify is that he wears a visor cap badge and colar patches with a large white scriptive "A" on them. Over the right pocket, there is a very unique patch that looks like it is in three colors sewn on wool. The patch looks like a gunsight or target. Does anyone know what this insignia is or what kind of army uniform he is wearing ? |

| The drawing at right reminds me of the logo often seen on wartime propapanda pictures, namely two P's, one reversed, back-to-back to a regular P, over several semi circles. Could this officer be a member of the Royal Rumnaian Army's propaganda company? Gen. Dénes |
| Posted by: sid guttridge August 22, 2005 09:45 am |
| Hi Denes, Yes, the Serbs did get Adrian helmets, but only after their army was rebuilt by the Allies on the Salonika Front over 1916-18. Cheers, Sid. |
| Posted by: sid guttridge August 22, 2005 09:48 am |
| Hi Denes, I see your point. It is reminiscent of the SMP logo found on many official Romanian photos from WWII. Could the "A" be something to do with Antonescu's bodyguard battalion? Cheers, Sid. |

It seems to be a Masonic ceremonial sword as it has the typical symbols: the triangle and the compasses. The letters “AR” could be the initials of the Masonic lodge, of the rank inside the lodge or of the owner. |

I do not beleive this to be Masonic. There is no triangle or compass here. It is simply a scriptive cypher letters of "A.R." in a wreath. The sword is of the highest manufatured quality from Solingen Germany with the new cypher version of King Carol on the blade. Circa late 1930's. |

| I know this is not a romanian Item, but nobody I asked seems to know what it is, so i thought I might give it a shot here as well: Some time ago, a friend of mine form the US gave me this strange bandoleer since he had heard I collect militaria and he had no acutual use for it. He himself had found it at a yard sale, and bought if for about $5. Anyway, here it is:  The buttons are made of hard wood, and look brand new, and while there is a sign of light wear in the fabric, especially around bukles, overall, the thing is in great shape.  The lower part of the back side, as well as the inside of the pockets are made from a kind of rubbery membrane. The rest seems to be some kind of cotton fabric, not unlike that seen in american WW2 bandoleers.  I think this might be a civillian bandoleer, but there are some strange, military style markings on it - first, a "5" and "7", stamped in blue ink on the inside of the rightmost pocket. The pockets are just wide enough to allow two 5 round 30-06 strippers to be placed side by side, but at 12cm, they seem abnormally deep. On the inside of each pocket flap, there number "524" is stenciled in white paint.  Also on the outside of the rightmost pocket, there is another, almost unreadable number. I belive it to be "523(8?, 9?)0000". So, any ideas what this might be? |

Thank you. I did a bit of "googling", and, as the following picture testifies, you were absolutely right, it is in fact a chinese manufactured bandoleer for 7.62x39 strippers. Apparently, it can hold up to 200 rounds.  The image is courtesy of http://www.mooremilitaria.com/ site. Later edit: It apears this type of bandoleer was also in use with the Viet Cong. As such, it fits in nicely with my militaria collection dating from the Vietnam War. Again, thank you for clearing out what this "mystery object" was. |

Take a look into the thread on http://www.worldwar2.ro/forum/index.php?showtopic=196. Light blue was the colour of the 4th Roşiori Regiment. |
| Posted by: REGAL UNIFORMA COLECTOR March 02, 2006 05:08 am | ||
And now, these are my answers: What is the age of the busby ? Model 1934 (1934-1940) What are rank and unity ? Junior Officer 4th Roshiori Cavalry Regiment Which kind of fur have been used to made it ? I don't know. Looks like Fox. |
| Posted by: Kepi March 02, 2006 07:15 am |
| This model of busby was introduced by the Royal Decree Nr. 1885 of 11th June 1923 for officers of the 4th and 9th Rosiori regiments and cavalry generals. The busby was generalized for all cavalry officers for ceremonial dress in 1930, and indeed, confirmed by the regulation of 1934. As other ceremonial and gala uniforms, this head gear was carried until April 1941. According the regulation, the busby should be made in opossum or rabbit fur. I agree that the busbby belonged to an officer of the 4th Rosiori Regiment, because the colour of the flap is light-blue. |
| Posted by: REGAL UNIFORMA COLECTOR March 02, 2006 01:10 pm |
| The only thing I see missing on this busby is the front Cypher badge which was worn below the rosette. |

This pistol is 100 % Military issue. It has a Laynard ring on the butt of the handle for a neck laynard rope. Pistol circa 1880's-WW1. What are the markings on it. It would help better identify the piece. |
| Posted by: Cristian June 20, 2006 03:14 pm |
| The laynard ring is not a military identification for this kind of revolvers. Many vestpocket size civilian revolvers have laynard rings for watch type chains linked to the belt of the owner. The bulldog was a quite common civilian self-defense weapon in the first half of theXXth century,made in hundreds of models all across the Europe,but no army adopted it as sidearm.The one posted,in my humble opinion, is 95% belgian, if the owner will open the loadig gate ,will see a ELG mark in a oval on the cylinder, between two chambers. http://imageshack.us Some civilian bulldog revolver from Zhuck catalogue. notice the belgian made 22-4 |

| Posted by: Kepi July 22, 2006 05:03 am | ||
I never seen such a badge. The lighting flashes were the symbol of signal troops but the shape of the badge, the colours of the cap and cap band are not according the army uniform regulations. I don’t know if it’s military. It might be a civilian service cap, such as the postal telegraph. During the 1930s-1940s these services carried army style caps. |
| Posted by: Kepi July 22, 2006 05:08 am | ||
This is not a military badge. The symbols: the compass, the triangle and the lightning flashes might suggest some civilian technical service. I wonder if SLP would mean Serviciul Lucrarilor Publice (Service for Public Works)? |
| Posted by: Kepi July 22, 2006 05:15 am | ||
The shape of the badge suggests it might be of an earlier type: 1925-1930 and the Michael I cipher indicates that it was carried during the Regency time (1927-1930). During that period, officers used to carry on their caps the cipher of the King who was reigning when they were appointed Second-Lieutenants. |

Hallo Guys, I believe your pack was originaly a German WW2 Military pack circa (1938-45) but it has been altered after ww2 by the look of it. The very early ones had fur (Cow-skin or pony skin on the outside and were known as "Affee" german for ape or monkey, these were relegated to reserve units as the war progressed. There were a number of different models. The next version was made from canvas, but remained basicaly the same size and shape, with cutbacks design changes were introduced to make production more easier. The four black pieces of artificial leather sewn to the flap are not original, also if you look at the bottom of the flap the two original fastning straps have been removed. Looking at the back of the pack, stamped into the leather under the white sticker should be the name of the manufacturer, and the date, and by the look of it, the two carrying straps could be replacements as well as they look like two odd pieces, the originals had stampings in them of date of Manufacture and "L" for Links / Left and "R" Rechts / Right. The green cotton "Pouch" inside with the two leather straps was for carrying the eating utensil / mess-kit. the pack was used to carry the soldiers, wash-gear, clean shirts, underwear, etc, with the over coat strapped to the outside of the pack. I will post some pictures of two examples in my collection starting with the "Affee" http://imageshack.us http://imageshack.us http://imageshack.us http://imageshack.us http://imageshack.us http://imageshack.us http://imageshack.us If it turns out to be a Russian then it might be a field modification based on captured german packs, there were special units who repaired and recycled military items on both sides in WW2 or a Russian copy!!

| I also have the "Ponyfur" pack with a 1939 date but by being bare really couldn't tell since I couldn't find a date or read the maker mark or stamp. Did find an original Ammo pouch dated 1943 in very good condition and picked it up. Most items were postwar and was looking for a canteen and gasmask + canister. Found all types of various medal but prices too high for what they were, especially the German awards.

Nice picture in the book, so I agree the pack featured at the start of the topic is Russian, but as it says on the page beside the photo it was very closely based on the German Pack, in fact its a near perfect copy. Can you tell us how much the pack originaly cost in the shop. And can you also give me the name of the book the picture and description are from (I was sure I replied to this earlier today  but when I looked at the thread nothing was there unless my prievious answer was deleted  )Kevin in Deva |

The railway collar taps are for station-master. They were probably red. Red is the colour of the traffic control and commercial section of the Romanian railways uniform. |
| Posted by: mihnea September 09, 2006 08:39 pm | ||
The back pack is post war as the attachment hocks are very simple made from steel, the ones made in WWII were copies of the German ones, made from aluminum. Also the back pack is missing the strap that attached the back of the helmet. |
| Posted by: cipiamon September 17, 2006 06:16 pm |
I found this pice of aluminium under an old woden building that was recently demolished. It is painted whit a cyan color that make me think is from an airfcraft, it also has a bizare shape, any ideeas what coul it be?     |

Nice places ,but also centres of the militaria industry. Yes, when man is wolking trought this towns, man could think that the half of the nazi military stuff is in Bulgaria . But actualy almost every thing is modern fake. Just the people who make these items want grow rich from the foreigners. I recommend to everyone, who will visit Bulgarian seaside to not buy "Third reich" stuff. Only some items like helmets, canteens and belt buckles are original. |

And where actually did you find it ? |
| Posted by: Mannlicher November 02, 2006 06:50 pm |
| You could try this: find an old car battery, pour some of the acid from it into a suitable container and let your relic soak in it overnight. Make sure it's completely submerged. When you handle the battery and the acid from it, wear eye protection and gloves. Do this in an well ventilated area. The acid will remove all the rust buildup from the bayonet. Rinse it in running water and, if necessary, use a wire brush to remove the remaining rust. It won't be as good as the day it's left the factory, but at least you can stop the decaying process... I know it worked like a charm for me. Other alternative: use some commercial rust remover like Feruginol, but it's less effective on relic items like yours. ... just my 2 cents  |
| Posted by: Mannlicher November 02, 2006 07:11 pm | ||||
Maybe his gramps buried it as a useless item when they found that slaughtering pigs in the backyard will be prohibited after joining the UE |
| Posted by: Messerschmitt November 03, 2006 07:13 am | ||||
on a field,far away from the village P.S thanks for the advice i`ll try to do that but i was thinking at something like a "pasla" |
| Posted by: ANDI November 03, 2006 07:49 am | ||
"Pasla" won't work in your case. The layer of rust seems to be too thick. You'd better try what Mannlicher said and I can backup his post. Feruginol or some other rust removers will do the trick but wear protection. |

| Hi from Italy, This is my last acquisition and I need help to identify it !!! I think this is an Artillery Officer Kepì, but I can't tell model, rank, unity and age (think it could be from 1922-27 era !) ... Thank you ! Marco http://imageshack.us http://imageshack.us http://imageshack.us http://imageshack.us http://imageshack.us |
| Posted by: Kepi November 15, 2006 06:34 am |
| This is a M.1930 kepi for an artillery (black piped red band and a specific button over the cockade) lieutenant-colonel (one large and two narrow horizontal gold laces). It was carried on the ceremonial dress uniform. This model was abolished, with all ceremonial and gala uniforms, in April 1941. |
| Posted by: bydand November 15, 2006 08:49 pm |
| Thank you for your answer Kepi. But ... You've said that it is a model 1930 kepi ... so, why it has a Ferndinand cypher badge ? I knew that Ferdinand rules Romania between 1922-1927 ... Should I think that it's a fake ? |
| Posted by: Kepi November 16, 2006 08:35 am |
| There is no mistake. According to a royal decree of 12th of December 1927, officers should carry the royal monogram of the king who was reigning when the officer was promoted second-lieutenant. If your kepi was belonging to a lieutenant-colonel of late 1930s, then he might be appointed officer at the beginning of king Ferdinand’s reign. King Ferdinand ruled Romania from October 1914 till July 1927. So the cipher is correct. |

| After the shape I think it was used for holding binoculars. The two straps seem to be synthetic pointing to a post war item but I don't know for sure. Off-topic: Take a look at this very interesting item: http://www.okazii.ro/catalog/2405599/obiecte-colectie/militaria-razboaie/altele/BIDON-MILITAR.html#div_photo , it is a filter for the Md 32 gas mask but it is in bad shape and I think that it was emptied, also the price is huge. |
| Posted by: mihnea December 22, 2006 09:34 am | ||
I'm wrong, it is not a binocular case, it's a decontamination kit, I have seen one for sale at an antic shop and under the cover was glued a piece of plastic with the instructions for the kit, explaining how to decontaminate and clean the rifle. Now I'm 100% sure it's a post war item. |

| http://img167.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc02174tj9.jpg I recently acquired this Air Force Pilot Cadet visor cap. It is of coarse dark blue material visor band and gold rope below of military style. Behind this is a red ribbon material with yellow center stripe. On the visor cap insignia is a small insignia of the 1938-WW2 period insignias similar in construction as those for an enlisted man and is sewn with cotton thread with metal circle ornaments sewn to the insignia. It is a Pilots wing over an open school text book. Similar insignia of open textbooks are found in Romanian military badges. Is this hat Military or Civil ? For what Aviation School does this hat belong to ? |

| Posted by: Kepi March 04, 2007 06:08 pm |
| I never saw this badge / cipher. In my opinion it’s not a “E” because, usually the letters / monograms on the epaulettes and shoulder boards were fastened with the upper part towards the collar. So, it might be two affronted letters “L” (?) or another symbol. I don’t know what it’s the real colour of the shoulder boards back ground: light-blue or grey (some mountain troops battalion)? Unfortunately the buttons are missing and they could be another indication about the origin. |

| Posted by: Kepi May 22, 2007 12:08 pm |
| They are policemen of the Public Guardsmen Corps ("Corpul Gardienilor Publici"), wearing M. 1929, brown piped dark red uniforms. Right shoulder aiguillettes are white and the cuffs rank insignia, gold. The policeman at the rear wears the summer white canvas tunic. I have no idea about the motorbike, but it delongs to the Police because it has the initials "PL" (from Police), at the end of the registration number . The photo seems to be taken late 1930s or early 1940s. |

| This is something I could not identify....perhaps you can provide some help. It was found near a trench, in the ground. My guess is that is a part of a somekind of a shell, mortar round or a grenade, because the area was littered with large pieces of bursted shells. It is a concave discus, 6cm in diameter and 1cm thick with a round hole in the center cca.7mm in diameter. I will clean this object, maybe I will find some markings on it, but until then I am waiting for your opinions.  http://img71.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img0868lo6.jpg http://img71.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img0869vz0.jpg |

| Can anyone identify this visor cap from the 1930's ? It is all black leather of the junior officers style and the winged wheel insignia of the Railroad wth the letters CTA. http://img687.imageshack.us/i/railroad.jpg/ |
| Posted by: b737 November 03, 2009 07:41 am |
| I would say that this cap is from the 50's -early 60's , CTA means Control Transport Auto. This CTA administration was active until 1989 and they have suported the "Militia"(police) . They were responsible for the entire commercial traffic ,the drivers and freight documents. |

| Posted by: ANDI October 21, 2010 08:28 pm | ||
I can tell you that this was not a standard equipment for romanian troops. I have also encountered this type of bayonet around here and I think it is just one of the many "profitable" contracts made during the years of "modernizing the army" like the one with the Vetterli rifles. |

I received the Press Photo today. This is what it said on the back of it. Dated Oct 6, 1946 Colorful Congress of Romanian Youth BRASOV - The recent "First Romanian Democratic Youth Congress", convened to create the "All Romanian Youth Federation" embracing all the democratic youth organizations in politics, sports, and among professional groups, was brightened by the colorful costumes and displays of the participants. Although this town of 200,000, situated in Transylvania, has a fair sprinkling of Germans, Hungarians and Romanians, no trouble developed. Shown here are members of the "Young Horsemen" tribe, founded in 1134, who attended the congress dressed in costume worn only for ceremonial occasions. Some of the costumes are 30 to 80 years old, handed down to the wearers by their ancestors. |

| Posted by: mihnea May 18, 2011 03:41 pm |
| Yes they are 100% Romanian soldiers they wear Romanian md 1939 greatcoats and Romanian capelas with the tips pushed inward. Also the one on the left is wearing Y straps and the decolonization of the leather is clear also if we look close the "romb" shape of the sewing that joins the three straps is clearly visible. The brad bag is of an old type the strap seems to be a simple string. Also they have two different rifles the one on the left is equipped with a Austrian Mannlicher M95 and it's short bayonet. The one on the right is equipped with a French Berthier 1915 notice the long and thin bayonet. Amusingly the two rifles shoot totally different cartridges but they share the same main dimensions 8x50R, but it's impossible to mix them up they are very different cartridges. Another detail to observe is the backpack the soldier on the wright is holding, unfortunately the photo isn't very clear. Superb photo, what's the text about? |
| Posted by: ionionescu May 18, 2011 04:48 pm | ||
Thanks Mihnea! I was a little bit puzzled about the rifles, thanks for the identification. The text is about the railway on the eastern front and its importance for the Wehrmacht, troop transport, supplies, problems they encountered, solutions etc. Regards! |

| Thanks New Connaught Ranger and Cantacuzino you seem to be right, there are at least two well known color photos showing greenish uniforms, I hope Mihnea or Mr. Kepi can confirm that there were no greenish Romanian uniforms in WW2. I have more questions about uniforms, person identification etc., I hope that Admin will let me post them here (I don't like starting new topics, there are so many and, for example, if I want to search anything I must open every one of them). Regards! |
| Posted by: mihnea May 19, 2011 04:22 pm |
| There were some greenish uniforms used by Romanian army in WWII. There were many shades of khaki used by the Romanian army some were greener some were browner. And then the problem goes to the quality of the picture in WWII color photography was rather new and we are comparing scans of old photos there are too many variables to consider either shade correct. But fortunately the best way to recognize soldiers in photos is based on the cut of there uniform and not by the color of the uniform. Here is another color photo from WWII, the colors are very pore. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/851/capitanjurapaunmarcu1.jpg/ http://honoretpatria.wordpress.com/category/7-trimise-de-cititori/jura-paun-marcu/ |

| When I say that the romanian uniforms from were greener I mean a little bit greener but not as green as RSR uniforms. There are also recolored black and white photos that are not authentic color photos. |
| Posted by: ionionescu May 19, 2011 04:29 pm |

| The next photo is a snapshot from ”Hitler in Colour-Dokumentary”. The original color film is taken during the visit of Marshal Antonescu at ”Führerhauptquartier Wolfsschanze” , Görlitz village railway station, 10 January 1943 The person from center is Colonel Ion Gheorghe. (later on General de brigadă) The first question is about the greatcoat of General de corp de armată Gheorghe Rozin (first from left), is the red collar only for generals? The second question is about the identity of the Air Force Colonel from right, can someone identify him?

| There are a lot of very nice photos on your blog. Now back on subject the collar of the general isn't actually red only the lining of the greatcoat is red and because the collar is folded that way, the lining is visible. I know that this was also the case in WWI but I don't know the year this detail became official and what are it's origins. And yes the red lining was specific to generals only. |
| Posted by: ionionescu May 19, 2011 08:15 pm |
| Thank you Mihnea. About what I thought it was an ”Air Force Colonel” (photo above, right), in the book ”Jurnalul Maresalului Antonescu, Vol.II, 1.I.1942-30.VI.1943” by Gh. Buzatu, I found a list with the names of the staff who accompanied Marshal Antonescu during his visit, among them is ”Comandor Popp” does anybody know something about him? Thanks. |

| Another interesting photo is the one attached below, Romanian soldiers (photo description says Romanian Troops, and the uniforms look Romanian to me) operating a ”Škoda, 30.5cm Mörser, M.16”. I know Romanian Army captured such a weapon in WW1, but I think the howitzers were never put in use. Is it a propaganda photo?, or is it a German ”Škoda, 30.5cm Mörser, M.16” operated by Romanian troops? Location and time-frame, possibly, Crimea or Moldova - summer of 1944. Thanks!  |
| Posted by: mihnea May 21, 2011 05:40 pm |
| 100% Hungarian soldiers. Look close at the tunics the pocket flaps are not straight like the Romanian one. The boots are tall and closed with 2 leather straps, also they don't have gaiters and the pants are closed around the calf with buttons. Romanian pants were not closed with buttons and the Romanian boots were low sometimes worn with leather gators closed with 3 leather straps but more often they wore puttees. The Hungarians also had german type helmets but with a small holding loop at the back of the helmet. With a good quality picture it would be easy to ID them as Hungarian soldiers. |

romanian volunteers in waffen ss ? something interesting : Rare German WW2 Army Foreign Romanian Volunteer Armband, stamped + owner's postcard This item depicted in the images below is a rare German WW2 Army Foreign Volunteer Romanian armband with Shield. These armband with shield wore on German uniforms or a combination of other foreign uniforms. The armband has a German stamp. Also the armband has a stamp of manufactory. If you have any questions please ask me. Veteran purchased. For sale there is also an original postcard of owner of this armband W. Marton. Original pictures. This particular armband passed very important test - it does not glow under the black lamp (all fabrics after 1945 glow under the black light). Estimate price for this item is $250 - $270. But you can MAKE an OFFER. We can always give you a good discount.   |

| The next question is about the identity of the pilot (with his face towards us, explaining something) in the first photo attached below (note how close is the ”Michael's cross” of the Bf 109E wing tip). Maybe the two photos attached go together, in the second photo we have Bf 109E-3 No.9 of Slt. Av. Ioan Di Cesare, is he the pilot from the first photo? Location and time-frame, possibly, Salz airfield - summer of 1941. Thanks!   |

| Posted by: New Connaught Ranger May 22, 2011 03:20 pm |
| There is a whole load of crap on that site, in particular this:- http://ww2army.com/images/1000-1499/1337/1337.php the S.S. referred to in the document / award is S.S. Klasse however that means scharfschützen = sniper. The way the SS runes are added on the award look very suspicious as well. The award document literal translation reads:- To Unter-officer Müller of the 6th Company of the Infantry Regiment Allenstein has won in the shooting year of 1935 this award in recognition for competing in the s.s. (scharfschützen) class for rifle. These award were never meant to be worn on a military uniform but were a prize in the military shooting competitions. Again my advice is "Buy the item - NOT the sellers storys" Kevin in Deva. |

| The armband looks fake to me. The armband seems to have been white but it is very evenly dirty. The patch is sown all around the edge and there are a few string hanging. Although the armband seems well used there are no rubbing points on the back and no remains or markings from a attachment method. And the stamp was made with super ink as it's as new, although theoretically 70 years old. I didn't bother with the story as it's just a story with no hard evidence. |

Hello, I'm from Holland and thought this soldier in the middle with the helmet was Dutch, but he could also be Romanian, judging the helmet. What do you think? And what could the setting be? I think these are German Grenzschutz.  |
| Posted by: ionionescu August 14, 2013 11:17 am |
| Difficult to say, unfortunately the photo is not very clear, but form what I can see his greatcoat looks more Romanian than Dutch, the Dutch one had a more thick and rounded collar. The helmet plate also looks Romanian because is more egg shape, not oval as the Dutch one. The rifle seems to be an ZB.24 rifle (and bayonet), in WW2 the Dutch were equipped the Mannlicher Geweer M.95 http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steyr-Mannlicher_M1895 which looks totally different (external magazine). Now I have a question for you: is this a Dutch WW1 Marechaussee NCO? http://www.flickr.com/photos/93381432@N07/8958564132/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/93381432@N07/8958564132/ by http://www.flickr.com/people/93381432@N07/, on Flickr |
| Posted by: sudhafen August 15, 2013 01:01 pm |
| I think we can be sure it's a Romanian soldier, thanks for the help! Your portrait could be a Wachtmeester (Sergeant) of the Marechaussee. But it looks like he's wearing a green/grey uniform and has 19 on his cap referring to the 19th Infantry Regiment. So I think a regular infantry sergeant. |

| I asked the army museum. The person on the foto is a Wachtmeester (sergeant) of the Korps Politietroepen (police troop corps) which were added to the 19th Infantry Regiment. They wore a fourragère on a fieldgrey uniform. Photo is probably taken somewhere from 1919-1925. The Korps Politietroepen was created in 1919. |

This one is for Agarici (but not only): which unit were these Luftwaffe soldiers of? Gen. Dénes |

I must admit that in the matter of Luftwaffe units stationed in Cluj/Kolozsvar (probably at Someșeni airfield) I'm completely ignorant. Probably you should recommend some readings to me. The only thing, as "clujean din naștere" (a lifetime inhabitant of Cluj) I think I recognized the facade (near the entrance) of Apáczai Csere János Elméleti Líceum on I.C. Brătianu Street (Király Utcá at the time) - https://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ap%C3%A1czai_Csere_J%C3%A1nos_Elm%C3%A9leti_L%C3%ADceum#/media/File:Kolozsvar_Apaczai_Csere_Janos_liceum.JPG) - by then a college for girls I think. So what Luftwaffe unit was that? |

| Thanks for identifying the building. It matches, I think. As for Luftwaffe units that stationed in wartime Kolozsvár, here is what I found: Stab u. Flakauswertezug/Flak-Rgt. 133 (Aug 44); I./Flak-Rgt. 231 with Flak Kolonne (Aug 44); Schaltstelle d. Lw. (Aug 44); Kfz. Abschleppzug d. Lw. 2/VIII (Aug 44); Eisenbahnmeldestelle d. Koflug 7/XII (Aug 44). On the nearby airfield, the following Luftwaffe units stationed: Wetterberatungsstelle (Aug 44); Flugsicherungshauptstelle 34 (Aug 44); Ausbautrupp/Ln.-Ausbau-Kp. 5 (Aug 44); Landwehr-Gerätezug 22 from Koflug 7/XII (Aug 44). Which one could these men belong to? Unfortunately, I don't have the answer. Gen. Dénes |

Is the shorter guy wearing a different type of uniform? I've noticed the lighter shade (a different color?), the pocket in front of the trousers and the short boots. Could he be, for example, a paratrooper? |

| Yes, he is wearing a so-called 'Tropenuniform'. However, I cannot see any paratrooper insignia on his jacket. Gen. Dénes |

| I have some questions about two pictures: 1) it lloks like a Honved corporal uniform (on the left), but what can I find out about it? http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_2017_10/IMG_20171004_144719.jpg.88e510b471a29af5822cd001688f4730.jpg 2) on the right corner down, there is my great-grandfather during military service in the 20's or 30's (I don't know exectly what kind of Romanian uniform is that, so I would need some help) http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_2017_12/IMG_20171004_162916.jpg.c587efdabb0347e5810a65fa42d36291.jpg Hope the links are working... |
