Pictures of the accompanying German patches which were in the group 

Thank you…..that makes….I bought these two (2) ovals with two (2) German bullion paratrooper patches and based upon the above website history….all four (4) pieces/patches fall into places and that timeframe.   Again, Thank you…..the items must have come from a German Bundeswehr paratrooper veteran estate who served in the 1950s

A truly great grouping! The helmet is stunning! Especially since it is painted instead of done with tape (often times they would get used helmets and wouldn't paint them directly, but rather use tape to "draw") :) I like the BDUs with shirt sleeves! Are those the ones where the cuff was attached to the short sleeve (I think, those might have been issue) or was it a tailor-job? When did the father serve? In the 1980s presumeably? I hope, the son recovered well!   Cheers, Jules

Yah I would assume so. But thought it wouldn’t hurt to ask, great set and congrats 😊

Heres a nice Saint Clair! Recent find. Cheers!

Just want to say, great thread.  All these years later I read it for reference. Thank you!

Hey Gear, thank you for asking..... The masking tape around the middle...? I dont know for sure? But my guess is its an identifier? The rest of the tape is to keep it together on the jump.
