Spectacular, one and all! One question, though: I am probably mistaken, but wasn't the piping on the Party Court cap the same color as the background of their collar tabs, which I think was black? This fine piece from Gerome appears to be piped in blue...

Br.--

Excellent question. The piping for Parteigericht was a very deep blue, so deep, that under regular lighting, it appears black. However, with a flash, it does brighten up a bit.

This piping was not included in the Org Books for Form 4 visors. I believe that the Form 4 visors that are sold as Parteigericht are simply dye lot variations for Ortsgruppe, but thats just me.

Here is Gerome's Form 2 Parteigericht upgraded to Form 4. Note that it is almost black:

Many thanks, Stonemint...always happy to learn something new! Were the collar tabs of the Parteigericht mounted on the same type of deep blue background (which I've thought of as black)?

Thanks again, my friend,

Another lemon-yellow Ordensburgen not made by CW--here RZM # 20 (I have to check my files for the maker).

Chincords are incorrect-- they appear to be reverse-twist Dederon:
