Dave Suter Posted May 26, 2007 Author Share Posted May 26, 2007 Are the straps the 1944 pattern?My recollection is that they are - I'm up the hill so can't go down to the bunker and look.Glad you like the fire police tunic - nice to have something you haven't seen....

Dave Suter Posted May 27, 2007 Author Share Posted May 27, 2007 (edited) Thanks Rich. Some day I've got to find the time to take good 'book quality' photos of this stuff.This is a private purchase tunic for a Luftwaffe Fliegertruppe Flugzeugf?hrer Feldwebel (Air Force Staff Sergeant Pilot) with the original badges. I don't have a photo of it, but it has a tailor's label indicating the tailor was Georg Henschel from Charlottenburg. The owner's last name was Gosby.

Dave Suter Posted May 28, 2007 Author Share Posted May 28, 2007 I don't have much political stuff. This is my only SA tunic, a wool Dienstrock (Service Tunic). It was never issued, but there is a flap in the lining at the shoulders so that shoulder boards could be added. The arm band was found in the pocket.

Laurence Strong Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Hi DaveWhats the swaz on his left pocket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Suter Posted May 28, 2007 Author Share Posted May 28, 2007 It's 1 Marz 1935 Saar Commemorative. Made of stamped brass, about 1" square. The cut out swastika has a silver metal map with SAAR in raised letters on it attached with two prongs. Two of the swastika arms have 1 MARZ and 1935 in raised letters on them. The back is marked W.REDO SAARLOUIS. Has a safety pin catch soldered on. Sorry I don't have a seperate photo of it - this is the best I can do for now - if I try and make it larger it's too blurry.

Dave Suter Posted May 28, 2007 Author Share Posted May 28, 2007 This is my only other political tunic - an NSDAP brownshirt for an Ortsgruppe Blockleiter. The collar tabs are the 3rd pattern (1936-1938). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Suter Posted May 28, 2007 Author Share Posted May 28, 2007 Well, how about a little Kriesmarine stuff? This tunic is a Weisser Rock neuer Art (New Pattern White Tunic) that was introduced 3 December 1937. It is the second pattern white tunic, the first pattern having a standing collar. It's for a Leutnant der Marineartillerie. (And yes, the picture really sucks... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

armybrat43 Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Do you have a website with your collection listed there? And do you have a museum to show off your collection? I have seen more WW2 period uniforms in your bunker then here at our local museum that a retired Major left his collection to. If you don't have a website or museum do you plan on having one?

Dave Suter Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 (edited) I'm an old geezer, so no web site. Might be something I'll do to kill time when (if?) I ever retire. Would need to take a lot better photos than these though. I will eventually post most of it here. (BTW, I'm saving some of the best for last.)
