January it seems, is my new favourite month.
Here we have a nicely preserved Bezirkshauptmann Gendarmerie tunic as well as the Officers Schirmmutze that goes with it.
A lovely lady in the town contributed with a tailors dummy so no more hanging tunics on the back of a door in order to photograph them.
There's a good chance that the sleeve eagle is restored onto the tunic but no surprise as 99% of them were removed after the war.
The visor cap was made by Mutzenwerkstatt Alfred Krebs, Halle a/S, Gr Ulrichstrasse 10. (Halle is the largest city in Saxony-Anhalt)
