Political Drum Hanger

[gauost]

This is a neat item for anyone collecting Political Regalia and mainly "Spielmanns/Musiker" items - a drum hanger with the Eagle/Swaz motive.
Also a picture of how it was worn -

I have a couple of these drum hangers in different sizes I'll have to dig out and photogrpah. Meanwhile, here's one of my favorites.

[GEROME]

hello
I have a question about the swallows' nests to orstrgruppenn.
Is there with fringes like those of kreis?

[jh-ss44]

Red front , our third reich enemy in the ol' days. who knew they had a band ???
think of the history behind this still existing today...

[gauost]

Gerome - Yes, there are swallows nests with fringe for kries, they were chocolate brown in color rather than light brown for orts the only other ones were for Gau which were red. These are reflected in the Organisationsbuch der NSDAP.
