Some OT Brig Speer and Transport Korps Speer (TKS) related period pictures and insignia including mega rare 1944 pattern TKS cap BeVo eagle
for the black M43 cap (the shoulder strap on the very right might actually be RAD)

[NickG]

Some period images of cossacks in black dyed tunics.

Inspired me to put this together...A Terek Cossack offizier-Anwarter (NCO candidate) in a period black dyed M40 tunic,
which has officers upgrades like dagger slit non bellowed pockets. The breast eagle is a flat wire officer's black backed silver Pz eagle!
Don't have a Cossack Shaska sword (yet) so a standard German one will have to do...

[NickG]

BeVo Terek shield
and the printed Terek shield shown in this collection of printed volunteer sleeve insignia!

[NickG]

Some leather cavalry M44 riding pants to choose from to finish off the impression, one set in standard
field gray wool. the other in smoother Italian gabardine!

Much more to show tonight!!!

I also scored an original Italian red partisan uniform this year. It's a post 1943 RSI period sahariana which was captured and rebadged by partisans.
It was ppost war stripped but the insignia was found in the pockets and it belonged to a Georgian WH deserter R.Rov who joined the Garibaldi Bridade.

The jacket belonged to a member of the 118th Garibaldi Brigade "Remo Servadei" . more on this unique find here:
