WOW . . . That tunic of Lorenz would be a real treat to see - indeed!

Another gray Allgemeine tunic. There is no name tag but thanks to Robert Hassler we believe this to be the tunic of Wilhelm Freiherr von Holzschuher bqased on the smaller size, tailor's label from his town and matching number of breast badge loops to his awards.

Very nice pieces posted. Thank you F-B, Mr. Delich, Mr. Coleman and Robert H for sharing some extraordinary examples.

There's another wide sweatband! They are about 10mm wider than the ones we usually encounter. Leather visor on this cap as well I'd say.

Thanks to my mate in Germany, we have another wide sweatband to show. By wide I mean 5cm plus..

Beautiful tunic, love the pale grey colour fabric.

Here is the 1934 specification for NSDAP caps to the effect that the sweat band should be 4.5 cms, which is, more or less, the width of the cap band.

I have posted this image before, but it illustrates a point I made above about the mixture of uniforms in the epoch after 1939.
