Funny that Chris I just found one of these shakos among 158 World Wide Police hats I have just inherited.

Dan

wow... seems to be worth the visit!

Yes it is worth a vist also the museum was involved in the new Scottish memorial at Frezenberg which I had the honour of attending the unveiling I estimated a crowd of 1,500 to 2,000. Picture of memorial at 5am .

Dan. is a british battledress tunic transformed to be used by the Kriegsmarine u-boat crews, but this one is not good because is a denim model 40 and not the model 37, that was the one used by the german navy. Is very usual tu see this even in very reputeable dealers webs.

Thank you for your valuable input on this item. However the actual item was NOT purchased from a dealer I purchased this along with a Canadian Battle Dress Jacket and Trousers dated 1944, a British 1940 patter battledress and the jacket with the Kriegsmarine Insignia the stitching is contempory and german style the entire stitching for epalets and awards are all german thread and style i have seen on german tunics i have had in the past. I still think this was captured and used but i will leave the decision to the person whom swaps it. oh by the way total costs for all items was ?30. From house clearance

Hi

This is a museum i would 100% recomend as a regular visitor to Flanders/Somme this and the museum at Zonabreke are the two best ones i have been to. I will visit both museums again in August when i go to the unveiling of the new Scottish memorial at pachendale again both museums RECOMENDED.

I have another piece... not directly militaria related... but definitely connected to a very historic personality along with her very important husband... WWII related and documented as such. It's a piece I'd also hate to part with but if I could get enough for it alone I'd go that route.

Okay i am sure that you have others intrested what is the OTHER piece put us out of misery what is it .

Dan

Wow how can any one apart from a museum compeat with that collection i am green with envy
