Hi Allan
The box that the Erla werke leipzig badge came in also has the Luftwaffe Eagle and the words ERLA surrounded by wings on it,with ME 109 underneath.

You have almost nailed it but need to know if its a workers badge which i suspect it is.

Phil . . . the Hasag manufacturing company evidently had
a branch inside the Flossberg concentration camp which was established in 1938 and was active 'til the end of the war.
Hasag made many interesting military items.

Thanks Ron

I wonder if the number on the badge is the actual workers number,and what became of him.

I think one of my K98 cleaning kits was made by Hasag.

Sounds a bit like the American ACME which made Everything,but would still like to nail that Lufty one though.

We need one or two of our educated German members to cap this one :wink:

Great find Phil, cant help with any details but sure would like something similar in my collection.

I trust the Capri restoration is coming along well, my old BX is still with us and running just fine[famous last words, touch wood etc].

Hi Andy

I am into fuses as you know but can always muster a deal if your interested,as these came in a nice presentation box and are not my scene realy.

The Capri is going as planned and will update very soon,as i have taken on my mates Laguna estate which he had from new,04 plate fully loaded but needed tlc,quick story as he was to embarrarased to px it and said it wasnt worth
200,in fact he said in front of witnesses that he would take 175 to get shot of it:bigsmile: so he did to me and i spent one weekend and 400 and with the exception of minor bits of bodywork got it sorted. then sold my other car the following week for 1000 which was a y reg Astra.bingo job done.

Capri has now had full engine strip with all NOS parts fitted and all the under carraige is shot blasted and in primer,next it is the metal work.


As usual i am buisier than ever but also trying to find time to move house
so will be posting loads asp
