One reads much about the mess dress with the funny badge. Here is its adjunct, in an actual photograph. Does anyone have an example to show us from their collection? I know they are illustrated in the Beaver books, but perhaps a surprise awaits us?

Social event in a less formal order of dress.... Here are men of Standarte 6 (i.e. Charlottenburg or Eduard Felsen..) Contrast the polite circumstances of Berlin's chic western neighborhood with the rustic charm of the image below.

The Ruptured Duck has had one of these listed for the last few years.
The one i posted is likely a high end reproduction, it currently belongs to a friend but i will try to get better photos.
Here's another one for you gentlemen, attributed to non other than Karl Wolff. I do not have any other photos of this one,
believe it sold through a US auction house a few years ago.
Edit: F-B, that is one GREAT piece of clothing !
Please note the item I posted via Herman is not my property.
POSTSCRIPTUM Thanks for the addendum to the effect that the one post contains a reproduction. I rather thought so, but I wanted someone else to do the honors.
These things are usually made to the perfection typical of the era, i.e. Christian Schwarz & Sohn in Munich was a renowned uniform tailor whose products are exception.
