Panzer wrapper
Gents -
Thought I'd share this:
Last night me and my collecting buddy Jaime had a closer look at my LAH Uscha wrapper. I've had it for quite some time, but never had the time or nerves to actually examine and study it.
So we looked at all seams, insignias, materials and suddenly Jaime asked me:
Jaime: "Dude, have you ever looked through the pockets, to see whether there's anything inside still?"
Me: "I'm definitely not the first owner, I doubt there's still anything in any pockets. Besides, Jaime, wrappers have no pockets...!"
All the sudden, I noticed that the wrapper actually has an inside pocket and gee, there was something shiny inside....
Upon closer examination, it turned out to be a protection medallion of what to me seems to be the Virgin Mary!
Quite a surprise for Jaime and myself and a nice historical/personal token from the original owner, who IMO must have been religious
and most likely from Southern Germany/Austria. The medaillon would actually fit right above the heart when the wrapper
is properly worn.
Thanks again to my buddy Jaime for always being so meticulous in inspecting my stuff! I would have never ever looked inside that pocket...
Cheers,
Markus
ps. With a little more time on my hand I will check out the inscription under magnification.Comment

Interesting Markus! Now you better get to work carefully looking into all your other tunic pockets who knows what lies in the dark depths? and don't just give them a feel because papers, theater and transit tickets, passes etc may not be felt during a quick pat down!
Congrats on your find it kinda adds life to the wrap in a way I would think!

@ Kev: Thanks for your comments and you're absolutely right...!
@ Jaime: You with your "lucky" hand should come over here asap and check out the pockets of "you know who's" garment. Who knows...you might find a secret order of the 6.SS-Panzer Armee!
Cheers guys!

I finally took some time to take a closer look at the medallion's exact (microscopic) lettering.
It reads:
"MARIA OHNE SÜNDE EMPFANGEN - BITTE FÜR UNS - DIE WIR ZU DIR UNS ZUFLUCHT NEHMEN"
And I would translate it into English as:
"Encounter Mary without sins - Plea for us - We who seek refuge with you"
No further comment needed from my side.

Just thought I'd share one of my recent new entries outside our usual WW2 spectre.
From the flight archives of Yury Onufriyenko, Golden Star awardee, Hero of the Russian Federation and holder of various NASA decorations.
The "Expedition 4" beta-cloth mission patch he wore on his "Orlan" EVA (Extra Vehicular Activity) suit while performing his 7th and 8th spacewalk outside the International Space Station (ISS) on January 14 and 25, 2002.
The patch is signed by him and bears the Expedition 4 and the ISS/MKC handstamps kept on board the ISS. The reverse is fully covered by velcro for easy on/off, since the big bulky "Orlan" suits are permanently stationed on board the ISS and are used by different crews. Hence patches come on and off regularly.
Anyway, enjoy.

You are very much welcome to drop in and try mine on.
I put in on last week when I picked it up in L.A. and almost had a claustrophobic attack inside! (sounds funny, but really wasn't)
It's a real "beast!" The workmanship which goes into producing these suits is just beyond of what we know from our uniform collecting. It's just multiple layers of fabrics, cooling/vent-hoses, electrical cables, etc.
These suits are truely historical pieces.
Cheers,
