Thank you very much Gunny! I've just recently started to get more and more interest in the DDR and NVA. The link you posted will be a great help for me, as I have also just began to collect some items from the NVA as well as the DDR era in general.

Yep i had a few items of NVA stuff but on my recent visit to Berlin i bought a few more bits and pieces back, East German gear is a very affordable area of militaria collecting.
I'll post photos when i get a new battery for my camera!...

Which is why I've bought myself an unissued Volksmarine winter cap, removed the badge and wore it during the past few weeks.

(Admittedly, the wife isn't too enthusiastic about that particular fashion statement, but has learned to live with it. )

Andreas, I have three Volskmarine sweaters I got soon after German unification, and they are superb sweaters. I cannot find anymore like them.
I will make a picture of one of them. They are blue wool rayon V neck sweaters of great durability and passing appearance.
I have a heap of NVA stuff I got in 1990-91, when I was in the theater. I will make a picture of some of it.

The sweathers did not come with the EK1, which is my very first piece of Nazi stuff from 1961....I still have it. How many pieces of German junk have I secured since
1961...?!!

Does anyone know where to get these Volskmarine sweaters anymore? I have tried many times in Berlin nowadays, without any luck.
They were in surplus stores in CONUS in the early '90s. The faux Pelzmuetze I bought at the flea markets in front of the Brandenburg Gate
in 1990. I wear it. No one knows what the badge means where I live.

The sweaters are like good Spreewald Ghurken and other DDR Produkte that should still exist.

Humankind is insane.

Me too Andreas, the black Volksmarine version looks less like military surplus than the grey NVA one, I also have a Soviet Navy fur hat that at fitst glance looks almost like sable
