Greetings...signed on to see if I can some help with ID & some values on several sleeve insignia I picked up. These all appear to be pre-war and are stitched on some old collection cards that have partial ID's, but apparently wrong to some degree. I found some info here, just by accident, but more than I got elsewhere. Until I get some photos up, what I have are 2 sleeve insignia on feldgrau that look like shoulder straps, but are round on both ends and just the wool top with a backing. These 2 are numbered in raised red stitch, 33 & 41. I also have the same on gray with 212 in red stitch numbers, the last is on red with a yellow stitch letter F. The one with the "F" has telephone battalion on the card, the others state infantry but call them shoulder straps, which a friend has indicated they are not and that is confirmed in some photos on this site that are similar. I also have a medical cadeusus on a feldgrau oval, another on blue and another on tan cloth or HBT, the blue and tan have a yellow cadeusus, the feldgrau is more orange/yellow. Last are a signals flags on blue round and a flaming shell on feldgrau in yellow. Most have some mothing, although the medical on feldgrau is very good. I can't believe I cannot find anything listed anywhere on the numbered pieces, just the signals and arty rates. Any help is appreciated.
