I think Andy makes some good points regarding the overall wear to the frog and likelihood of it being repurposed at some point. Probably put together more recently than 1945 but still a great rig.

Hello,
yes, the ensanble was probably put together by collectors only in the last few decades. All parts are original, but they do not belong together.
The dress bayonet goes without saying. Bought privately. Just for the exit.
The frog should be assigned to the fire brigade.
The tassel is an official item with all the necessary information and the stamp of the Air Force Clothing Office.

The faustriemen represents 8.Batterie/II.Abteilung -
As Andy suggests, Wei probably relates to Le-Flak-Abteilung 86 (mot), based at Weimar-Nohra from November 1938 to August 1939.
