Moved into a new place and I got my RAD pole topper. Over all I would say it was a good weekend. I do plan on treating the poll by ether staining it black or painting it. Anyone know what would have been original?

What are you using for your pole base? Also how did you treat the wood?

I bought a railing (dowl) for the pole that I sprayed with a black stain that had the laquer in the spray can. The pole is resting in a small circular base and I have it clamped to my case top and bottom to keep it from falling. Hope that makes sense.

Please review RAD Altered Tunic

Here is link from other thread:

http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=879362

- Tunic was made on smaller side. Note relationship in photo to my tornister & RAD Overcoat.
- Color is a little more olive than gray. Note color versus my RAD Overcoat.
- It is a waist tunic but has look & similarities of Feldbluse 44 as introduced for the Armed Forces.
- We have not found any specific regulations or notes about the waist jacket. The "Verordnungsblatt" does not give any clues.
- We have not been able to locate or see any period photos of this jacket in wear by the RAD.
- We are not sure if it is made from another tunic or just customized for the officer solider wearing it
- Tunic has never had an armband on it and it is mint & unissued from what I can tell.
- Custom tailored craftsmanship is amazing and it is not a cut down or cobbled together piece.
- The overall piece is very well stitched and has strong gussets and detailing.
- All stitching is very sound & no mothing at all. No stains or holes, rips or tears.
- Small snaps / buttons for collar to snap down are marked PRYM.
- Silver Pebbled Buttons on tunic are all consistent and stamped with RZM with single circle & UE 71.
- Rank is equivalent to Oberstfeldmeister (pay group AD 7), but in the medical branch, the designation for this rank was Arbeitsfeldarzt.
- Cornflower blue [kornblumenblau] was the branch color for the medical service of the RAD (same as in the armed forces).
- The sleeve insignia is for Abt. 5/265. Gruppe 265 was headquartered at Göppingen. The 5th Abt. was from Straß 89278 Nersingen Germany.
- Stitching has been burn tested and passed. Black light has been taken to whole garment and not one thing glows.
- "BULAG" marking: This is the abbreviation for the Bayerische Uniformlieferungs-AG.
- "BULAG" was in Auerbach in the Upper Palatinate, the company was established ca. 1934 and went out of business in 1986.
- We are unsure when this tunic was made...1938? Stamped M38.
- Stamp of "MSA Sch Ho" we think could stand for Motor-SA Schule Hochland but we are not sure.

RAD Custom / Altered Period Tunic - Early Variant

Here is thread and details to review. I accidently posted in Heer Uniform Section

http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=879362

- We are not sure if it is made from another early tunic or just customized for the officer solider wearing it.
- Tunic but has look & similarities of Feldbluse 44 as introduced for the Armed Forces.
- No specific regulations or notes about the waist jacket were found & The "Verordnungsblatt" does not give any clues per Wilhelm Saris.
- Have not found period photos of this jacket in wear by the RAD. Does not concern me as I feel sure it is period made.
- Very clean custom tunic with fine tailored craftsmanship in the details
- The overall piece is very well stitched. Double & triple sewn in some areas and seams are very nice.
- One thread has been burn tested and passed. Black light has been taken to enitre tunic and not one thing glows.
- Inside lining has strong gussets and nice detailing. Leaves me to believe this is not just a thrown together piece.
- No mothing at all and it is void of stains, holes, rips & tears.
- The Small snaps / buttons for collar to snap down are marked PRYM.
- All silver Pebbled Buttons on tunic are consistently and stamped with RZM with single circle & UE 71.
- Officer rank is equivalent to Oberstfeldmeister (pay group AD 7), but in the medical branch, the designation for this rank was Arbeitsfeldarzt.

- "BULAG" was in Auerbach in the Upper Palatinate, the company was established ca. 1934 and went out of business in 1986.
- We are unsure when this tunic was made but it is Stamped M38 so guessing 1938.
- Stamp of "MSA Sch Ho" we think could stand for Motor-SA Schule Hochland but we are not certain.
