    More neat uniforms surfaced in Norway!

    Some more neat uniforms surfaced in Norway again!
    All unmessed with since the war!

    Lets start with an OT officer's uniform!
    Its an early model uniform so it lacks shoulderstraps!
    You can see where the armband once was.
    (I own a twin of this uniform)

        An TKS (transport Korps Speer) tunic with early type "SP" collar tab cypher (could also be transitional from NSKK Regiment Speer)
        The applied breast eagle is an indicator that its post NSKK when they split up! (own command seperate from NSKK)
        I realize NSKK is usually covered in the political section but this is one cache so I'm keeping together on this thread which also covers support units!
        These are drivers attached to army units!

          Close up of neat breast eagle on brown backing!
          Its clearly not a modified NSKK sleeve eagle , which they also used and they would remove the NSKK scroll..
          its an army design!

              NSKK tunic, appears to be light blue farbe so Hochland (Austrian) or otherwise French volunteers!
              Wonder who served in Norway?
              The plain collar tabs could be an indicator of foreign volunteers?
              Could also be NSKK regiment Speer with the cyphers missing...
              Because the other material in the lot (as well as the following uniform) is Speer related,
              most likely the case! (lacks NSKK sleeve eagle)

                Late pattern TKS (transport Korps Speer) uniform. Note the shoulderstraps
                similar to Army designs but in brown and with TKS always sewn in!
                The collar tabs are missing but the ghosts are rectangular so most likely the final embroidered "SP" stylized tabs were on this piece at one time!

                  All these gems are en route to a fellow WAF member from Norway who allowed me to show these here!

                  The last uniform could be restored to look like this TKS example (in my collection). Note final pattern embroidered "SP" tabs (red arrow)
                  the only difference is that mine is in an upgraded officers quality trikot wool as opposed to regular enlisted wool as shown in post# 8
                  BTW mine is shown with a Dutch NSKK helmet...could be carry over in TKS...
                  (just an impression I put together!)
                  Of interest here is the bullion (NSKK cut down, so scroll removed?) breast eagle bullion on black!

                    wow, great finds. Any details on how they were found? rags, army depot, etc..? would be interesting to know.
