The German ones look like they are from the German Reichsarchiv official history of WW1. A multi-volume set published through the 1920s and 30s. Neither rare nor particularly collectable. -

Yes, I was on active duty then. For some reason I thought it was in the 1987 - 89 time frame. Prior to that it was common to see foreign awards over the right pocket on BDUs. Even one of my drill sergeants had the German proficiency badge. I think what happened was that the badges were never officially authorized on fatigue/bdu uniforms, but the practice was widely tolerated throughout the Army especially in the late 70s - early 80s. Then finally someone got a bee in their bonnet and said "I'm tired of seeing all these soldiers with unauthorized foreign badges on their BDUs" and the order was put out to take them off. FWIW when I was in a few different SF units, soldiers would still wear foreign wings on their BDUs as the command typically looked the other way. But if that soldier had to go to a "big army" school like an NCO school, they would remove the unauthorized badge before going.
