SD NCO shoulder boards with RZM tag "A"

[Woolgar]

The RZM levied a series of operating fees of various kinds from the contractor and apparently for the regulated item itself, which are wrongly described as "taxes" on other sites, especially the lords of the flies one.
I have never seen an original description of all these fees in their variety, but I am not at all convinced that the received wisdom associated with this aspect of the RZM is at all correct.
Wim Saris would know, and there is a fine website in Mitteldeutschland, which I have appended, which also contains worthwhile material.

Thanks, so are you saying there is no concrete explanation to the tag lettering system ?

I owned an open collar field grey tunic stripped of insignia forty years ago that would have well taken such insignia.
I own three SD/Sipo black uniforms.

Not that I have found in an original source. If you know of one in an original source, versus in a modern work, I should like to know. I have many problems with certain contemporary sources as concerns the quality of their research and some astonishing errors. And I assign little merit to many of the airy pronouncements especially on the other site about the RZM.

I was lucky to find these three black uniforms, and, impossibly long ago, I also had a field grey military style four patch pocket one with all the insignia in the early 1970s, now that I think of it. I had a military style one and the normal SS Rock one, actually, all a long time ago....
all gone. I hardly knew at the time that such things might appear once in a life time, as at said date, life stretched out before me in a grand way.

How sad! However you were fortunate enough to have had them in hand once upon a time !

Thank you. I had them at a time when no one would have predicted how all of this would develop in the new century, to be sure. Things came and went, and I sold my whole collection at the end of the 1970s, only to have to buy much of it back at huge expense two decades later, when I realized how the collector biotope had transformed. I do not collect grey uniforms, but each of the one I briefly had were 100% correct.
If I had kept everything in an unbroken way, of course, if......?

I owned these two black caps in the middle '70s or so, the NCO Sonderanfertigung did I retrieve later at huge expense.

That is a painful tale FB ..If only we could predict the future!

Thanks. I sense less pain, since I built a collection in the last twenty five years from the ruins of the first one, much of which I was able to reconstruct.
I never got rid of my Nazi library, and built it over forty years and more.
I will dump it all in the intermediate future, as life enters a new, less flamboyant phase and there is no reason to drop dead with these things as a burden to others, as seems to be happening around me with much frequency.
Happy collecting and I am certain all my things will find a new home among the younger cohort.
