Unissued NSDAP Armband With RZM Tag
This example has never been issued, its never been completed and is in very good condition, still retains its paper RZM lable.
Hitler Youth Firefighters Uniform Jacket
Scarce pattern jacket produced late war for the Hitler Youth who were in service with the Fire Brigade fighting fires in cities during Allied bombing . Jacket body is in very good condition, a couple of very small moth tracks, not noticed till closer inspection, one nip to the the front, match head size if that. Black collar has im afraid suffered from moth damage, looks like 5 smallish holes and a few track marks, please check the photos for details. Inside has a rayon type lining with two military type belt ramp straps and the usual wartime stripe lining to the sleeves. All metal buttons to the pockets are present, the fastening buttons looks like some sort of composit and one is missing. Two HJ shoulder boards are sewn into the shoulders, the HJ armband is the bevo type and is loose, found in the jacket pocket when i bought it for my collection many years back. Jacket could do with someone putting an iron over it.The belts are for display only, firefighters belt and axe are for sale if the next owner wishes. Nice and scarce jacket for the HJ and Third Reich uniform collector.
Unissued Hitler Youth Shirt
Hitler Youth shirt in unissued condition, this still retains its stores lable attatched to one button hole. This is the pullover type with the turn back cuffs as expected, stamped markings to the rear of the collar, buttons are HJ/DJ marked.
Kriegsmarine Leather U Boat Jacket
French made brown leather WW2 Kriegsmarine leather jacket in good condition, the leather is a bit worn on on side at the back with two repairable holes to the bottom, the front having no issues . The buttons are brown naval types and the jacket has a washed out lable , you can just make out that its a French lable with the German word Grossser for size at the bottom. Lining is a dark charcoal matrial with no damage. All in all a good displable item that has seen service .
Panzer Grenadier Officers Tunic
Original M36 tunic thats been modified for an officer in the Panzer Grenadiers, the belt ramps have been removed and the tunic tailored for a tighter fit, cuffs have been added and i belive the bottom pockets moved. The uniform matrial is in very good condition, nap is very good and there is no moth nips or tracking, there are a couple of issues though wich will be reflected in the price, someone at some point wishing to wear the jacket has slit the button holes and un picked two pleats at the rear to make the item fit them, goodness knows why they would do this to an origianl item, well the pleats can be re sewn, very easy job and the button holes can be repaired, as mentioned this is reflected in the price not forgeting the scarce PzGr insignia.
Hitler Youth Rain Cape
Very nice bit of HJ uniform item being an early period {1936} HJ rain cape. The outer material is in fine condition as is the waterproof inside, all buttons are present ,they are number and RZM marked. Inside neck strap for a tighter fit still present , back buttoned flap is in perfect condition, this could be opened and the cape worn over the Tonister during ''marchine order''. Perfect label to the inside. Condition is very good with just a small fraying along the bottom edge of the cape, and the hanging strap above the collar label broken. From the back photo, the bottom has been folded during storage only, will need an iron , no damage!!
Early Multi Stitch NSDAP Arm Band.
Very nice early multi stitched cotton Party arm band thats in very good condition, no damage from moth or staining, the Swastika is the folded ''ribbon '' type found on early arm bands. This one i purchased recently from a gent who's brother brought it back from Germany after the war, never in a collection before.
Un-issued NSDAP Arm Band with RZM Label.
Mint WW2 Nazi Party armband that has never been issued, made of cotton so would be a later war produced item, light blue paper RZM label still attatched to the back. Very hard to upgrade this one.
Early SS Armbad with Cloth RZM Label.
Used condition SS armband, front has one moth nip and a repair to the white circle, the rear has four small moth nips, the inside of the band has its original cloth RZM tag. A good example that displays very well indeed.
Hitler Youth Musicians Swallow Nests.
Condition is good , a couple of moth nips to the red material, nothing major, the vertical and horizontal tress has no damage. The most interesting part of these swallow nests are the imperssion left on both items were a swastika once was sewn,you can clearly see the stitch marks. This type can be seen in early period photos of HJ bandsmen.
