HELP!!!!! Does anyone Know Anything Abought This Stuff?i need Two belt loops with d-rings for the belt?

[Adrian Stevenson]

Hi Justina, I don't collect political items as such, but the loop is to retain the cross strap.

We have a thread about ironing uniforms with some good advice in it. See here:

That's correct--the loop on the shoulder is for the cross strap to pass through. I would not recommend washing or pressing the shirt. It can be done but you have to be extremely careful.
The cross strap should be in the same color leather as the belt--'Havana brown' was the period name.

Hi,Could someone please post a picture of the correct badge i should be looking for as there are two badge loops on the left pocket as you can see it in the picture?realy realy would be a big help befor i buy the wrong badge?this is political i thought maybe the sa spot badge but that would be for sa brown shirt correct?

[Adrian Stevenson]

Hi Justina, I don't think the flag badge would really have been worn on the uniform; it is more of an item that would have been worn on a civillian suit to show you were a Party supporter. It would go through the button hole like you have done.

The loops on the pocket could be used for a variety of badges. Say a WW1 award like a wound badge or any of the Party awards. Have a look through some period photos and find one you like the look of and use that

Cheers, Ade.
