Article about: Wish the picture was better but after looking through some books I'm now leaning to a Mauser Modle HSe da auto pistol. 1938 7.65mm in competing with the Walther PP. The wood grip lead me to

    I know it huh? I had not a clue what they were for a long time, until I came across a thread showing one of the caps. haha Probably a rarer photo, as I have never seen another

    haha....only the sloppy printed penciled writing is mine. Any other writings were already there. I cant remember everything, especially names of towns/countries that were in the original titles when i purchased them....so it helps in the long run. lol

    here are some RAD photos you and I were speaking about. the helmeted man is from a Combative RAD unit (from my album).

    I always wondered if the "Bahnhof Hotel" the army man is standing in front of....is still there and functioning??
    Probably not. By the way: The last letters of the place name are not visible in the photograph, but it is very likely "Altengrabow". This has been the location of a military training ground since the 1890s which is still operational today. [see: Altengrabow ]

    The young man with armband and kepi is not RAD, but SA.
    That photo is a bit of a riddle, actually.

    This man's kepi and collar patches may imply SA, but upon closer inspection his lower cap badge and belt buckle are definitely from the Labor Service: The buckle is the early FAD pattern with a spade flanked by angled wheat heads at each side. The cut of his jacket, too, matches the early Labor Service pattern.

    It is also worth noting that "Labor Organizations of the Third Reich" by Angolia & Littlejohn has a group photo of FAD members wearing black collar patches with some symbol/cypher on the right-hand patch (It cannot be identified as it is too small and blurry) just like this man, although no further information is provided.

    Personally, I tend to think that this man is actually an early Labor Service member from the FAD/NSAD period with his headgear and collar patches being of an unidentified/undocumented pattern; maybe non-regulation, maybe locally used, maybe both, but either way short-lived.

    Just my two cents.

    Woaahhhh I didnt even see his buckle. WOW. Everything about this mans uniform screamed SA to me. haha I Did notice that on the kepi underneath the eagle, that it is not the typical SA "button" fixture, but a different type of insignia. That was the only thing I noticed that was out of place for SA. Very good eye HPL...... I had this photo in my possesion for a long time and had never noticed that. To be honest, I have never seen another period photo of a FAD/NSAD man. Pretty neat and great observation/information HPL.
