LAH portrait: in the Beginning

[JWL]

Gentlemen,

I think you will like this one! I only know of very few other portraits showing this Early LAH decal in wear.

Enjoy,

J.W.L. Bode

Very nice portrait indeed...not too many of those around. These insignia were hand painted IMO. In my experience I have never seen an original decal in this style of insignia.

Thanks for posting. Here's one I used to own.

Cheers,

Dang! I'm jealous you guys!

Does anybody at this forum own a uniform like this?

I know I saw the helmet before in the hands of one guy with another next to him on the backside of the car..

In all the years i have collected I have never seen this pattern helmet, the collar tab I have seen only once (early pattern) the tunic itself maybe for the Allgemeine SS( with early piping ) a couple of times and the shoulder board not sure if I have ever seen it ? That early stuff is really hard to find. Even this detailed picture is a rare find.

I've had one or two early SA brownshirts with the non standard collar piping (2 black 1 white, I think also 3 black 1 white) which I assume would be the same stock used by the SS in this early period. Very unusual to find!

Thanks for the comments! Darryl, that one really is just amazing!

Did this pattern had the Tri-color on the left side?
