Hauptmann Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 (edited) Hi all,Have had these for some time and thought they might be of interest. The green one is I believe Grenztruppen (Border Guards) and the white one Army.For those who might not know these were worn on the shoulders of band members tunics. They are attached by means of an eyehook system so they can be easily removed when the tunic needs to be cleaned.The tassels (I assume) indicate a more senior ranking member... probably a Sergeant.I've only shown one of each as they are identical.[attachmentid=55640][attachmentid=55641] Edited October 2, 2006 by Hauptman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hauptmann Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 [attachmentid=55643][attachmentid=55644]I'd love to someday find the tunics these would go on, and if they're not complete the insignia to go with them to make a fully dress musicians uniform for each of these.Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Craig Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Nice Swallowsnest. I would also like to add a complete musicians tunic to my collection but they are very rare. I see them from time time advertised as being musians tunics but this usually not correct. They are most often just someones idea of what the real thing should look like. The nests you say look like Grenzer may be that. Hard to tell from the colour on the scan. VOPO would or Bereitschaft would be a lighter green I think. Here is the photo of a Miners musicians tunic which was sold a day ago.Cheers,Gordon[attachmentid=55643][attachmentid=55644]I'd love to someday find the tunics these would go on, and if they're not complete the insignia to go with them to make a fully dress musicians uniform for each of these.Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen the miners uniforms and such on Ebay from time to time but never gone for one. Probably should at some point. But really like that.Many thanks, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
