SS headwear day dreams, Nuremberg 1934.

[Friedrich-Berthold]

A great primary source that highlights the absurdity of the modern day collector insistence on the "mint" or "minty" or else super vacuum sealed peppermint, etc. and also of the tiresome litanies against restoration.

Well said. These things were actually used. Notice tunic, belt and dagger tossed onto a dusty wooden table on a warm day.
