A nice setup! It's been great to see more East German gear on the forum as of late. A real breath of fresh air.
Regards, B.B.

Hi Rene,
This was my very first purchase of DDR gear back in 2016. I paid £59 for it, and last night I had a look on 'eBay de' to see if they were still being sold. There are still this pattern on there , but not one single example from 1966. They are virtually all 1970 or later, and you won't get one for £59 either!
Cheers,
Steve

I know and I missed out!

Lovely display indeed, wish it had cuff bars though. Glad to see that the markings are still relatively visible on your tunic, on most older 60's examples they have completely faded out!

Prices of the early gear is really shooting up as more and more collectors are latching on to it. My own thoughts are that the spiralling prices of TR gear is putting it out of the reach of many collectors now, and they are seeking alternatives. It has been said that the NVA was the last 'true' German army, and they kept many of the old traditions alive. TR gear holds little interest to me these day's, but I find the DDR militaria quite interesting.
Someone has said that the collectors who failed to jump on the TR collecting bandwagon back in the 1960's when it was relatively cheap, should make sure that they don't make the same mistake again with the DDR militaria... and how right they were.
Cheers,
Steve
