Help with colours of insignia

[Hisham]

I just got this NWM bust and I must say I really like it.. especially the fact that it comes in one piece and ready to be primed and painted.

My question concerns the insignia...

Is the eagle on the hat supposed to be in silver.. or something more matt like maybe aluminum or some colour like that?

The stripes on the collar.. are they silver or white?

The cross.. is it black with a white border?

I just can't tell the difference between white and silver from the pic.

Thanks for any help you can give me

Hi Hisham!

The eagle was either of aluminium or from silver embroidery.

The braids on the collar were from silver embroidery.

The cross (knights cross) was of black iron with silver edge.

By the way:
The tape visible in the buttonhole of the iron cross 2nd class was not black-and-white, like in the picture, (then it would be from the First World War) but red with black-and-white edge, like the ribbon of the knights cross

Thanks a lot, Martin.. you've cleared things up for me.

Cheers
