Although the Luft Fd's were useless they hold a certian appeal to me. JComment

It seemed to me that Panzer, FJ, SS are all uber saturated. The FD are being collected, but it does not seem to the same level. I could be wrong, but there are still some reasonably priced things available.
All that being said, there is something about the FD that is appealing. perhaps its those collar tabs, oh and the camo field jacketsComment

Hi Oz, the RB number on your cammo cap indicates that it was made in Litzmannstadt. (the '1305' portion of the 0/1305/0173).

And a bit more on Litzmannstadt, from Wikipedia:-
The Łódź Ghetto (German: Ghetto Litzmannstadt) was the second-largest World War II ghetto (after the Warsaw Ghetto) established for Jews and Roma in German-occupied Poland. Situated in the city of Łódź, and originally intended as a temporary gathering point for further deportations, the ghetto was transformed into a major industrial centre, manufacturing much needed war supplies for Nazi Germany and especially for the German Army.
