Replica Insignia and Awards

The items offered on these pages will strive to be among the best reproductions that can be obtained, the goal being historical accuracy. Pricing is going to vary as these items come from many different vendors both domestic and International and are subject to a cost fluctuation. If you regularly shop for replica’s I’m sure you’ve noticed that many websites show mostly small images lacking in detail. Here the replicas are treated as seriously as the original militaria and detailed, large photos are offered for the collector to review in order to accurately see what they are buying. My standards are fairly high and the goal is to assemble the best replicas that can be found, at a price reflective of their quality. Many of these pieces are created specifically for this website using original militaria as reference and this is sometimes reflected in the price. Some items will be improved upon as better sources are located or vendors work towards higher quality. Other items may only be available until the stock is depleted and then later replaced with a similar item from a different source and at a different price.

Note & Update 6/22/08:

Many items are now restocked, except for limited quantities where noted. The RFSS shoulderboards and insignia sets have sold quickly and are almost gone. However, new stock will be available mid-July. There will also be new stock of the Reichsmarschall collar tabs, and breast eagle, as well as a few other surprises. Kriegsmarine Admiral shoulderboards are now available and listed below. The Grand Admiral boards are the only item that is experiencing a continued delay, but should hopefully be available within the next month.

#4065		Reichsmarschall Hermann Goring’s Utility Uniform Shoulder Straps At the close of WW2 Hermann Goring had a very unique and rather spartan uniform tailored for his rank of Reichsmarschall, which was more closely resembled the Allies uniforms in its simple nature. The only rank insignia exhibited on this uniform were on a pair of shoulder straps, each embroidered with the Reichsmarschall eagle and crossed batons similar in design to the gold devices on his standard shoulderboards. These shoulderboards were designed and created using surviving pictures and illustrations as reference. Straps are slip-on style, embroidered in gold bullion and wire, with gold twist piping over gray wool.	$80 Reduced for remaining stock
#4063		Reichsmarschall Hermann Goring Breast Eagle Goring was probably the most flamboyant character in the Third Reich and exercised his own personal touches in development of insignia for his many uniforms.

This replica was faithfully reproduced from that design.	$55 SOLD OUT More available in July
