    Hello, nice collection and great display with the MG!!! I have attached a photo which I got as a glass negative years ago of the body armour. Please note that the armour appears to be in sizes with a "2" noted on the inside. Please note also that the felt pads apparently was intended to go between the pieces of armour.

                  A period souvenir of Verdun, notice the butt stock stop welded to the chest. Anyone know what the hook near the waist is for?

                        hook

                        I always thought there was an early and later pattern to the body armor, and the hook was was on the later, to help support a belt with gear, strapped around the armor.

                              Hey guys I've just joined the club! I just got this today from WAF member GWA. I love it. Most awsome piece of militaria I own.

                              Made the display cross while it was in transit and the helmet is my restored for re enactor use M16. I have a Stirnpanzer on the way and till I get an original Stirnpanzer there is no need to display with an original helmet.

                              Anyways here is my application to the Granbenpanzer club.

                              Wilhelm

                              Edit, Stirnpanzer now added.
