Handschar SS Fez

Who has the photo of that storeroom?

Nice one.
I have seen some of these stripped for the insignia.


Now you only need the field grey one, aaaand a Handschar uniform.

The fezes were originally bundled together in groups of five from what I have been told GI's used them as containers for the various insignia they took out of the bins. I have only seen one nondescript photo taken inside the storerooms which only shows shelves from a distance. If the lot had not been found at Dachau, the Handschar fex would indeed be a very rare item. I have only owned and seen one that had been issued and worn.

Bob,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one. What a sight that must have been piling SS insignia within one of these unissued fez. Funny you mentioned this because a dealer I bought a few tabs from had acquired a lot of tabs, eagles, cuff titles ...you know the Dachua items along with a field green fez he had for sale from a veterans family. A typical Dachua treasure chest find much ones seen here recently.
Best,
Anzel

Has that photo been posted here before? Would like to see it.

FB posted some with Hess and Himmler walking through warehouse at Dachua.

Nice original piece, one that I wish I would have bought a few years back when they were cheap... As in many things hah.

Thanks Jeff. I did not hesitate and purchased this one because it appears to be in very good condition. Probably unissued and stored well over the years. It should be arriving soon. Also, I have some of its old warehouse buddies coming from another direction.
