Tunic Transportflotte Speer

[orgtodt]

Significant find

I think the responses to these interesting pictures don't address the most amazing thing about this find: the "armband".

Although it's already been noted that the armband is undoubtedly a cap tally, it is more important to note that this is the first actual example of the Transportflotte Speer cap tally in Gothic font.

According to Wilhelm P.B.R.Saris in Headgear of Hitler's Germany Vol. 5 (pg. 85-86) the only example of the TFS cap ribbon observed to date has been in Latin font, & that author asserts that the Gothic font ribbon is a fiction.

So this is a really significant find! Kudos!

So if we have to believe Saris we have to to with a fantasy tally in that case thank you very much for the info
