But I thought I'd just run along with my name.

So here is the comp.....

If anyone can tell me just what it is than I'll send you some aussie screwin broadheads. Just thought I have some fun and see how up to date TradGangers are with WW11 history... :cool:

In Oz, al

I was gonna ask if it was a Boomslang, but that is a snake and that shield has a bird on it also the Boomslang is a venomus snake native to Africa.
So no clue I guess.

Al, I like a challenge and spent almost 2 hours researching it online. The thing that finaly gave it away was that you left the 20 kills part in the pic name!

Not only does a German sniper badge for 20 kills give me the willies (is this a WWII badge? :eek: ), but the mention of "screwin broadheads" sets me to runnin' the other way! Oh, was there supposed to be a hyphen in that word? :rolleyes:

i finally stopped ROFLMAO, killy you rock! only you would catch that one. as a collector of patches, that is a really cool treasure.

Well spoted Killy... :notworthy: and your post put a smile to my sometimes staunch face.

Yes from all accounts it is a rather treasured patch. Back in the day, if a German sniper was caught with this item it was a death sentance. The soldiers were ment to attach 'em onto there clothing or battle tunic, but most would place them into there pay books, if kept at all.

Being from German stock I was call Kopfjagger from my platoon Sgt whilst on my snipers cse in the Infantry. Not having a clue as to what he was talking about, I went looking on the net and bookstores.

I named a longbow with that name, and it lived up to it more often than not.

How times have changed...Germans are about as peaceful as it gets nowadays, but I also got the impression that shooting skills suffered a bit :(

They don't even allow bow-hunting in Germany do they..I was stationed in Scweinfurt several years ago and hung out with a local forest meister, he was fascinated with bow hunting but led me to believe it was against the law

Ben,
Unfortunately you're right :(
Bowhunting is illegal, but since it was reintroduced to other (surrounding) countries such as Denmark, France and Sweden, chances that it becomes legal could have improved. :archer:
