thats it for now,ive got more recently purchased goodies but theyll have to wait for another day-Simon that is indeed my "roadside found tunic"im just happy i got it!George the tunic is identical to yours minus the units shield and armband,i was just looking at pictures of yours the other day,do you think when you have the time you could send me some more pictures,similar to the ones i took of the inside if the collar etc,i would like them for my files for comparison purposes,i also have a few new disks full of RAD items,send me your address via PM and ill send you a few,not all of it belongs to me there some pictures i gathered in my travels,tons of close up pictures,they come in handy!im gonna repost my tunic pictures when i figure out why they loose so much image quality when i resize them for this site

I have had a few requests from forum members to see my RAD collection,alot of the pictures were no longer there from when Sebastian upgraded the site,the size of images you could post changed during the upgrade and alot of my pictures that i posted in 2002 were to big,it took me a while to find the pictures on disks and repost them,the first page of this thread is different i added some old pictures as well as some new items,Im also gonna post some of my new items as well as fix some of my older crappier quality pictures,pictured is about 75% of my RAD collection,i still have to photograph some,i have items on the way etc.if you want any close ups of any particular item just ask!for some really great photos of RAD uniforms check out this thread http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...ad.php?t=77974

here are some pictures of a plaque i recently purchased from another forum member

Hi Yancy,

Firstly a great collection of RAD Items you have here - never seen anything quite like it. Secondly, I was wondering if you could post more images of Max Hoffers Deinstausweis and Personalausweiss and let me know what type of entries they contain - are they similar to those in Wehrpasses?
