Hello John,
Go to the Bender Publishing website and order Military Advisor Volume 16 Number 4 which I think is only $6.00 per copy. It covers the Rank Insignia of the German Customs Service 1937-1945 including some history.
Best,

Hello,
go to: www.zollgrenzschutz.de
and there you will find some information in German. They are still working on the site.
Further you could also check with Bender's "Military Advisor"-magazine with some articles about customs, written by me:
1991, Pilots of the Customs Border Security Nr.1 from winter 1990/1991;
1996, Customs Border Security Edelweis in the MA - Nr. 3 from summer 1996; 1997, The Customs cuffband in MA - Nr. 1 from winter 1996/1997;
1997, The Customs Aiguillette in MA - Nr. 3 from summer 1997;
1997, The Customs Car Flags (1939-1945) in MA - Nr. 4 from fall 1997;
1998, Customs Belts and Brocades in MA - Nr. 2 from spring 1998.
The same articles all were published also in the German ""Militaria"-magazine.
Along with the mentioned article in the MA about shoulder-straps and collar patches you will know most of the basics for the customs.Comment
