How about a thread of some Political Leader uniforms?

[MG-Freak]

The Tunic Was Being Sold By A Small Time Collector Who Had Only Picked It Up Two Weeks Earlier Out Of The Attic Of " A Very Old Lady." It Sat Out In The Open For 2-1/2 Days At The S O S Near All Of The Big Dealers. Due To The Plainess Of Design, It Drew Little Attention. As I Was Packing Up On Saturday(i Was Alone And Tied To My Table), I Decided To Take A Quick Cruise Through The Hall. The Tunic Caught My Eye Due To The Unique Design. However, I Never Thought It Was Going To End Up Being What It Is. I Talked With The Owner And Looked At The Tailor's Tag. Unfortunately, I Left My Reading Glasses Back At My Table So I Could Not Clearly Read It. He Offered It To Me At A Price Less Than $500. Whatever It Was, I Knew That It Was Worth That. I Took It Back To My Table And Put On My Glasses And Read The Label, " Reichskanzler Hitler, 9, November, 1935." It Was Made For Putsch Day. I Doubted What It Was Initially. Then I Began To Think About The Price I Paid. Since, I Have Verified Measurements And Discovered From Helmut Weitze That Two Identical Tunics By The Same Munich Tailor Were Found Years Ago In Munich. I Also Later Cooberated The Seller's Story With An Old Friend Who Knew Him Well. Unfortunately, He Was Also The Type Who Would Not Share Any Further Information. By Accident, I Fell In To A Great Historical Piece. There Are Bargains To Be Found At These Big Shows. The Next Year, A Friend Found A Genuine S S Tuxedo Badge In A Pile Of Repros For $25!

Amazing!! You are one lucky guy!!

Amazing indeed,

Very very nice!

Has anybody else had a look at it? I believe that Wolfe has had one or more Hitler uniform tops...

[Johann Anton]

I'd love to see more. I KNOW that we've barely scratched the surface here...

[TxGauleiter]

Johann,
been a fan of your PL guy there and his greatcoat for a long time...
glad to you see you hanging around over here...

[Jeff Clark]

Great set Johann

MG-Freak - No DAF Uniforms, although they were part of the PL crowd I never got into the cloth other than flags.
Thanks for your comments -
Horst

Picked up mine a couple of weeks ago.














Last photo, complete set.

That is a very Nice Daf Tunic you have there could you perhaps make some close-up of the sidecap??

[MG-Freak]

Thnx. No problem will post it as some as possible

[Jeff Clark]

This white double breasted Ortsgruppenleiter tunic turned up at a show in the Pacific Northwest several years ago, with the matching visor. I ended up with the tunic later, but the visor had been sold off separately. I would love to find that visor!

I thought I might post the one tunic/cap I have but after viewing Bob's contributon and Johann and Jeffs tunics, I would be embarassed to add to this thread. What wonderful stuff.

Richard,
Share your tunic, please!
This is a thread where we can all enjoy the aesthetics of the era...I am sure you are proud of your ensemble... Everybody started off with a 1st uniform! Even the guys with the most advanced collections are always pleased to see new groupings!

Any piece that has survived 70+ years is significant.. Those that hang out on this side of the forum would love to see as many examples as possible!

Jeff, that summer Double-Breasted is an absolute breath-taker...

[Bob Coleman]

Richard-
I Agree. Let Us See Your Tunic.

Jeff-
I Remember The Story About The White Tunic And What It Took For You To Get It. I Never Heard The Story About The White Hat Though. At Least You Know It Is Out There And Eventually, I Am Sure You Will Find It.

[Jeff Clark]

Yes Richard, we need this thread to show them all

[Jeff Clark]

Kreisleiter. This tunic has the Buro dress style slash bottom pockets. This style tunic is much harder to find...
