zoll/customs

[leibregiment]

I am going to apply the zoll insignia to this tunic....but un-sure what epaulettes and collar insignia should be on it..the shadow of the cuff can be seen...also thoughts on other items to enhance it such as what type of belt and medals, many thanks, paul

Because the tunic is in wool you have some flexibility. It can be "ranked" both as Zoll officer or Zoll enlisted, does not matter.
Because the French cuffs are gone (or were never there?), the latter would be my choice of preference and the parts for "enlisted"
(lower pay grade official) are cheaper...
On the other hand it does have a dagger slit... but that does not necessarily limit it to Officer rank...
You can really go both ways here! Good luck with the restoration!

Thanks Nick, (and for your advice) I have been offered some insignia but unsure what epaulettes go with what collar insignia (thanks Bob), I also can see an out line of a cufftitle and arm eagle?

If the tunic has ghosts of an arm eagle (SS shape???), check out this thread which I started a while back!!

Can you post a picture of the sleeve eagle ghost?
Did you look at the above thread? Thanks
