I wanted to show you guys and extremely rare Political Leader brownshirt for a member/judge on the NSDAP Party Court. This came fresh out of an estate sale in Ohio last week. This is the first such brownshirt I have ever encountered. Note the beautiful deep blue velvet tabs with gold embroidered litze. Gorgeous!! The shirt is piped in Orts blue which is even more rare for a party court member at this level. I have never seen any party court tabs piped in blue before. Maybe Mr. Clark can shed some light on this? The split rings on the backside of the buttons have made a nice greenish mark on the shirt where they have rested for 70+ years. At one time the shirt had two ribbon bars stuck through it above the left pocket. They too have made a green mark where the brass pin went through the shirt. Also, above the right pocket is where an additional smaller bar rested. I can not explain this and do not know what the medal bar would have been for?? Lastly, the armband is an earlier variety with a nice variant style tape for the swastika legs. The shirt is topped off by an early style white RZM tag that is coming loose.
Just and outstanding shirt that I'm proud to own. Hope you guys enjoy the pics....
