(Note that the 24th Panzer Division was allowed to use the golden yellow collar tab trim in recognition of their roots as an Imperial German Cavalry Unit. The 24th Panzer Division was the only Armored Division so honoured. Other Panzer Divisions use the famous "Panzer Pink" Waffenfarbe.
Also resting on the opened turret door, there is, what appears to be, a German Heeres Model 1928 Signal (Flare) Pistol. The pre-World War II pistols were produced by Walther.
