Maybe we would learn more from her about collar patches?
I must confess that I too have become taken in by this old black wool. My displayed treasures always seem to stop me in my tracks as I admire the attention to detail and simultaneously shudder to think of the ideals of Himmler's associated therewith. It started innocently enough with a cap and has just progressed. F-B's tunics always bring a tear to my eye, thank you again for the images.

Here is some more....
I no longer have a camera, but I suppose these bear re telling.
But as I say, my twelve step program is a failure. I have not found much new stuff for two years, though, and the stock crash has essentially stopped me from collecting. At least I keep the uv rays from the things, and the dust and moths, too.
PS Our policeman of the post has vanished, hasn't he? The person who asked about the piping on the collar patches, too, I guess. Wie typisch.
Esteemed colleague, thank you for your always wise intervention. Thanks to all of you here for such a congenial and pleasant place, and thanks for the kind aid in keeping Adrian and his comrades' site a sanitary and clear flowing stream without the digital effluvia that pollutes some many other places. I celebrate with you the old gumshoe techniques. Only patience and much time and effort can open the secrets left to us by these foetid woolens!
Bravo! I enjoy the 58th and 85th Standarte tunics displayed this way. The mirror image of the insignia, trivial as it may seem to some I am sure, I find... "neat" . Of course, that beautiful table of yours that appears in many of your photos is an excellent backdrop for your treasures.
I am curious, is the Achselstücke on the tunic of the member of the 85th Standarte sewn to to tunic or is it the type that slips in?
Either way, a beautiful example.
Regards,
CMH
As a follow-up question...I know you enjoy your books and I had hoped that you would be the new owner of the RZM Handbuch Robert had for sale. Is it so?
