Some WW1 aviation items of intrest. Six original Sanke cards, most of Rittmesiter Manfred Frhr. Von Richthofen. There are two almost alike cards of the Red Baron. The one with the black border and the '+' or cross behind his name ment the card was issued after his death due to an Austrailian ground gunner (sorry Canada). Most other items are originals to the period except for the RFC wings. The RFC badge is original, but not sure of it's era. There is a very small gold US pilot wing lapel pin. Not sure of the era it was made, but original WW1 US pilot wings are rare and costly, many were custom made in France. There were no 'offical 'US wings. A couple EK1s and a EK2. U-boat badges I had posted before. The French pilot's badge (below the two WW2 U-Boat badges) I have been told are much more rare the the German Imperial pilot badges. Just my small collection. Would consider swaping some or all toward Lugers as they are now more of my collecting intrest. Will email detailed pictures of any to those intrested.
Enjoy,Bill
OOPS!! Sorry the Sanke cards are sideways.

Wonder if the 'Red Baron' own personal Luger? I know many German pilots carried handguns with them. I have ask this before, but can't recall though, about aviation unit marked Lugers.
