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.

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. |

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. One of those was the creation of a
special breast eagle for use on all of his uniforms. This eagle was a little larger with
wider wingtips and was always on a white background during the time he served
as Reichsmarschall. This replica
was faithfully reproduced from that design. |

compliment his gold arm eagle, Dietrich had the regulation cufftitle modified
by having gold bullion embroidery stitched over the top of the silver. |
