Hi,i looked and could not see any markings at all?

[Bob Coleman]

This is likely a display mannequin from a larger RZM uniform store. A friend of a friend in Germany has a large collection of various period mannequins in various political uniforms that came from just such an establishment. Do you have any information on how this rig came to the USA?

He looks to be about the age of a 10 year old to me.

You do need to get a HJ buckle to replace the SA type though.

Thanks for the education. I only have a few HJ pieces and don't really know alot about the equipment used.

very cool!!! I love seeing the really unusual period items.
but beware it looks like it might move if you turn your back on it. looks like it would make a good chucky movie.
great pick up.
