Sounds like a load of gun show goo to me..the Vatican ...some imagination.

It was actually Castle Dracula, surplus from the Undead SS unit Himmler had great plans for.

haha cake sale, I want to see a buxom blonde, topless and in a bikini wearing that darn thing!!!

Just stop by the Doc's place of business, that is mandatory wear for his employees. Hopefully just the women.

And hopefully just the cape.

Then again, it woulds depend on the choice of his women

Cape Sale

The Vatican had a "Cape Sale" and I missed it? Darn, I must have thought it was a "Cake Sale".

Collar

Velvet collar??

Appropriate.

[Martin Stiles]

Appropriate.

Maybe, but not regulation.

Officers always had differences in private tailored pieces.

Buying it tonite,very excited.What would be the best cap to display with it?Ive seen photos of Hoess with a sidecap and the old style cape,and also seen it worn with a visor or no headgear at all.Just like your thougts.

[wewelsburg]

It's more than just 'denazified',,it's been cut short.
It can be restored more [more meaning the chain must have been added if the eagle was cut short] by replacing that eagle as they do sometimes appear,,but the lenth would kill it for me at that price.....

What do you mean the chain must have been added if eagle was cut short?I dont understand the logic.Cape is a super deal and a rarity and no reason to believe chain wasnt ALWAYS there,I dont get you...we are speaking of the side eagle not one on chain.And even if cape was shoretned,it was probabaly period done.

I would put black officer visor,it will look the best with this cape.

If the eagle was denazified, the clasp would have to go too.
However, I would see no purpose of denazifiing the eagle while on the cape. The true events that took place here may remain a mystery.

[wewelsburg]

I see what you mean,well replaced or not its still the same type of clasp,may have been put on later.Arthur claimed it was from teh same vet who had the SS Fulda Werra tunic in his book and another piece I have no reason not to believe him.

[PANZERPIONIERE]

Are you going to replace the eagle or leave as is?
