HJ leader tunic and its insignia

**wwmilitaria** · 06-30-2010, 05:33 PM

Good to hear. Yes, I was quite struggling for some time, since the tabs were almost as expensive as the tunic itself. But well, I set my mind on that it has to be a Mittelland tunic, so I thought these were as good as it gets in the near future.
I will definitely have a closer look at the triangle. Maybe I can get even more pics and post them here.
Thanks for the advice again...

I look forward to seeing some photos of the restored uniform.

Note that in the last pic the RZM tags have been removed sadly.

That's it. It is also missing the buttons in the back. From the holes in the fabric I supect them to be of the style with two metal prongs and a metal dish in on the backside. I hope I find a pair of these at some point. All the buttons are not RZM style but original to the tunic. It also came with two grey pebbled shoulder tab buttons with RZM markings.

...in case you were wondering, what kind of buttons I talked about: a quick visit at Stephan's Militaria in Soltau a couple of hours ago equipped me with a set of buttons!

Any update on how the tunic restoration project is coming along?

Greetings!
Well, I got all the stuff together. I attached the triangle, armband and the buttons in the back. Unfortunately I chickened out of cutting the shoulder seams open to attach these outrageously expensive shoulderboards

So when I got more time I will make an attempt.
