I'm sorry I can't post photos as It's impossible to save them.

Thanks

Yes, for the price of a SUV...

There's a slight anomaly: officer chinstrap on the cap, but an NCO ranked tunic.

Its a grouping that Henrik had on his site a while back.

And even then it did not get many good comments.

Its actually very correct for the rank of Standartenoberjunker!

But for the autenticity i can not comment!

I'd be happier just buying an ATF Texled copy for $600. The balance of the money I could spend on making me happy in other ways.

Oh what you must think of me!

Only if the commissioning process was the same for specialist personnel as it was for combat officers, which I'm inclined to doubt.

Some truth to this! This "hobby" can be quite dangerously expensive. Btw, I think one should buy what makes one happy, real or repro.

The officers cap cords with the shoulder straps are a correct combination. In the Wehrmacht/Heer such junior doctors would be called "Unterartz"
(Under doctor or Junior Doctor). Technically they are not full fledged doctors yet...not having graduated from medical school yet but al least 3 years medical school under their belt if I'm not mistaken. They are kind of like the Offiziersanwärter in other non medical branches (=officer candidates) but in the medical (Sanitater) service I guess you could consider them Doctor candidates...hence this combination with officers cap cords. They were also entitled to wear officer's pattern belts. Nothing wrong with this combination. I would love to have this group with branch piped SS medical visor!

Heer, but rules maybe the same about Senior NCO-Officer candidates having visor cap chincord and Officers Litzen. The pic is from Brian L.Davis book.
