East German Ties

[Fahnenflucht]

If it is a female Bootsführer Uniform it will be OK, otherwise you need a Male Tie for it. Remember, also on the Cap they had the green and not the blue Cord as it was Part of the Vopo and not the Trapo.

Thanks for that! So they do wear green ties and not blue ones. Wasn't sure about that.

What is the width of the tie for Females?

My green female tie measures 5.5cm at the widest point.

The eBay dealer bernhardtroeger has 5.5cm green VP ties for sale, I just saw, in case anyone is interested. He's a nice guy and I've bought from him a couple of times.

Can't really see if they have the foam pads or not.

VP ones I have too, but no NVA ones in the Moment.
I think I also have Trapo.

Sorry! I thought you were saying that the thin ties were all rare!

They are, Just remember how many Men against women served in the different Branches. If I see that I had about 5000 Male VP's and maybe 20 female. Still 2500 SV males left and no female and so on.

2 different Vopo greens.
I never found an evidence for the wear of the colours by a specific Branch.

took a look at my vopo ties, I have one of the larger lighter green ones as well. Any guess as to why the difference and or date?
