thats kinda strange. to my knowledge, only the SSLAH and police wore the white leather parade equipment. there were also white leather y-straps, bayonet frogs, and KAR98 ammo pouches.

Hi.
I'm interested in the same info.
A couple of reference books should be arriving here this week; maybe they'll provide the answers.

Wewelsburg, please read what you have written. You saw a "painted officer" ? A painting of an officer or what? "From the 1st SS Deutschland Division"? You mean the 1st LSAH Division or the 2nd SS Deutschland Division or the 1 SS Deutschland Regiment? What did you see?

As far as I have read, white leather fittings were only authorized for the LSAH in parade circumstances. The police Schutzpolizei only wore white only for the NCO bandeliers. No other pieces of field gear.

I posted this pic in Galicia photo thread. These guys are wearing white leather gloves it that could count as white leather.

Joe didn't the post war police also have white leather ppk holsters. I remember dealers trying to pass them off as LAH holsters in the 70's -80's

I recently found a picture of white leather in wear for the belt and cross strap. Will post tonight.
