Greetings Mark and fellow Gentlemen! 1st post...so let's see how it goes! (I have so little time I am not quite sure why I am posting anywhere right now! :-) Thought I might share with you that the 1st pattern was also made with Golden-yellow piping for cavalry or aufkl?rungs. Rediculously rare, and after many years of waiting this arrived yesterday! so i guess I am giving in to the excitement! It will be shown in my next book which will be out next year and I am just finishing up now on Panzer uniforms. 'B36' depot stamped, factory piping, not retro fitted, and nothing moved, removed, modified or adapted! Just the sewn down shoulder straps removed and slip on brindles instead. The straps have a chain stitched 'S' cypher for 'Schule' and the tunic is marked to 'Kavallerie-Lehr- und Versuchs-Abteilung 2. Panzersp?h-Lehr-Schwadron', a unit created in this new school in 1937. So there is a brief look at another, I must save the rest for my book. But these are extremely nice, although the wide collar of the 2nd pattern is very pleasing to the eye! Cheers, Wade K.
