What is the origin of "The Ruptured Duck" insignia?

Last Updated: 07/28/10 09:09 AM
You know we are always busy updating the site with 'new' goodies for you, but in
recent months we've also been 'updating' our photography! As you may have
noticed, many of the items have been re-photographed and **WOW** what a
difference! We've hired a professional photographer (and fellow
collector!) who has spent countless hours on this task so if you haven't checked
out the new pictures, give them a second look ~ you'll be impressed!
In order to make it easier to find exactly what you are looking for, we have separated the Miscellaneous & Specialty Items section into categories:
Adolf Hitler Personality Items Allach Porcelain Exotic Items German Porcelain Dinnerware Gorgets Metal Insignia for Headgear Metal Insignia for Tunics Miscellaneous/Specialty Items Photo Albums Rings Third Reich Rubber Stamps

Ruptured Duck Note: The following is a nice selection of Army and Luftwaffe “Schutzen Abzeichen” - Marksmanship Award [Lanyards]. I have various levels available. All the Army lanyards have the same plaited, semi-brite aluminum cord construction, with a narrow strip of pale grey rayon as a backing. The top of the braids flatten out to form a disk shape. The backing on this is an oval of field grey wool cloth (fliegerblau for LW). A metal alloy shield, or an oval, open-faced oak leaf wreath (depending on level) is affixed to the disk. Acorns woven in metallic aluminum thread were attached to the bottom of the lanyard cord, to represent successive awards; and after the 4th level, the metal shield design was replaced by an open-faced oak leaf wreath with eagle, shield, and crossed swords. All the cords are in good to very good condition, with clean front sides. The Luftwaffe cords are similar, but made of a dark grey braid material crossed by thin, zig-zag lines in aluminum thread. The metal insignia is open-faced oval wreath pattern but with a Luftwaffe eagle. The small acorns are metal, attached with a black cord.

I have recently had the good fortune to purchase a large 55-year collection. Among other fine items, this discriminating collector particularly loved rings. As you know, the Germans loved their regalia and especially novelty items such as stick pins and miniatures, but also rings and brooches. They made a ring for practically every organization and even had several variations of rings to commemorate campaign awards and decorations and unit affiliations. I hope that you enjoy the variety and selection.

RUPTURED DUCK NOTE...I picked up a small collection of photo albums and having thoroughly enjoyed looking at all these interesting candid snapshots and individual soldier's reflections, have decided to list them here. I will, of course, give you a description and attach some pictures, but these will represent just a cross sampling of what is in the album. Enjoy the views!

AMAZING Collection of Third Reich Rubber Stamps, all gathered up by one
United States Army Veteran who was in the “military government” after the
war ended. This Officer had a free hand to travel around Germany in the course
of carrying out his duties. He spent a good amount of time in Bavaria in and
around the Berchestgaden area. This is where he accumulated some of this
impressive collection. We will supply the name of the Veteran to any buyer of
one or more of these items, and include a document to this effect with every
stamp purchased.
