The images have some poetry. The variety also tells a certain story.by CBH
The phrase "Tuchmuetze fuer SS" always gives me a jolt. It must be Pavlovian in some way.
Our colleague Peter Jenkins sent me a document as concerns an audit/inventory from the year 1936 via higher headquarters of a Rhenish Sturmbann of the Allgemeine SS as to how many of such caps were kept in quartermaster stores.
Further proof that these things were not especially widely had even in their day. Less so the black Dienstrock....

I suppose one could extrapolate from this single piece of data some estimate of how many of these caps existed at the time, and look around at what remains.
This document is quite remarkable.
Sturmbann II
the black tunics were even fewer in number.
foetid woolens.
The stamp on the chinstrap is original i guess ( i have found the same stamp on the chinstrap on a field gray visor)
Are there more variations of stamps on chinstraps from gray and black visors existing.
For me thats an interesting question
