Many THANKS for sharing, MIKE - a "Unique" Item(!)

Many THANKS for sharing, MIKE - a "Unique" Item(!)

That is one fine conditioned Rebreather 'Gas Mask' / Heeresatmer Backpack unit!
Seeing your fotos of the WHOLE UNIT in the box (with tools!) & then opened up, really gives a good feel for what was really a pretty "High-Tech" apparatus for the early 1940's!
I'm sure that many Luftschutz and Feuerschutz Museums in Germany today - would love to have an example as nice as yours, to display! Good Going! Never know what you are going to 'uncrate' / pull out, of that wonderful TR Collection!

The Germans were on the leading edge of Gasschutz & Luftschutz technology - because their leadership had some idea of what lay ahead. (Plus, it seems that "Every" German soldier, is pictured with the cannister Gas Mask! So - how many Million of those cannister Gas Masks were manufactured for the Wehrmacht & 'Zivil' use? My 'guess' would be Probably > 10,000,000 + !

As just another part of the anticipated "Gas War / Air (Raid) War" - a special magazine came out in 1931 - "Gasschutz und Luftschutz", or called GuL. It is very fortune for us as collectors, that the German Bundesamt für Bevölkerungsschutz und Katastrophenhilfe has a WebSite & they have archived (in PDF's) - ALL of the GuL Issues from 1931-1945!

TN.-Oberscharführer Shoulder Boards

TN.-Oberscharführer Shoulder Boards

(Posted for CAMONUT) - Shown are 2 very nice examples of the TN Ranking (in effect 1 Dec. 1936 - 1 April 1940) for a TN.-Oberscharführer.

The shown examples have the 'Integral' Yellow Loop Tresse, which was sewn into place at the time that the Shoulder Boards were made.
(This is confirmed by finding no Tresse exposed on the Reverse.) There are other examples in which the Yellow Loop is just slipped onto the
Shoulder Board & either hand, or machine, sewn into place. (Yellow is visible on the Reverse, in this type.) The slip on types are believed to
have been for 'field upgrades' / promotions, from the existing rank of TN.-Scharführer.

This style TN Shoulder Board also varies quite a bit in length, depending upon the manufacturer. It is not unusual to find 2 different length
Shoulder Boards on the same TN Uniform.

The slight 'Yellow / Goldene" Loop / Tresse coloration differences are also shown nicely on these 2 boards. The color differences are felt to be
the result of either extended sunlight exposure - or - a different manufacturer (or Both!)

MARC (!) Spectacular TeNo Collection ... Txs

MARC (!) What a Spectacular TeNo Collection ... CONGRATS ! ! !
Thanks for sharing your TeNo "Treasures" with us...

Yes, Dave C is 100% correct - I've had 'TeNo Vertigo' from looking again-&-again at all of the
amazing diversity of Items which you have Posted. (I am very glad that you now have
a bit of extra time to take these splendid fotos!)

As a Collector who desires to better understand the complexity & diversity of the Technische Nothilfe,
I'd like to ask your Opinion regarding some of your TeNo Items. [If any of my comments are not
Accurate, please correct me as I'm here to learn more.]

Marc, as you have the time, it would be Outstanding to learn from you about several of the
'rare & unusual' TeNo Items which you've shown us. Since fotos make for a better reference,
I have Posted my Questions on the attached image.

Many Thanks(!) ... Dave / dblmed
