Re: Some regalia in Berlin
I belive that US soldiers took all the best pices after the 2 WW so that US collectors coud fill up their collections, so it is quite hard for Berlin museum to present better pices !
I can tell you how filled up were Yugoslav museums, specialy museum in DRVAR ( in Drvar German troops ( SS paratroopers ) tried to cach Partizan commandant TITO ) had some really rare SS Paratroopers pieces, but they sold entire collection to some French collectors / dealers, right after the civil war was over !!!

Re: Some regalia in Berlin
This piece in Berlin was picco bello as concerns its features as near as I could see. The thing has all its insignia, &c. I could not examine it very much, granted it was on a display in a gallery. Bob Coleman has a nice officer's overcoat.

Friedrich, do you remember the number on the collar tab? Look like three digit like 122 or something like it.

Dear Robert, it is was not 122, since that is Strassburg. It might have been 102, which is: Jaegerdorf, which I think is Sudeten. Next time you are in Berlin, go look at the thing. It is a nice piece. It also has a post 1937 Sturmband, that is the regimental number does NOT appear on the the cuff title, but the number of the Sturm, which I think is 10.

Re: Some regalia in Berlin
While I was in Bratislava last year, the Czech army museum had sent the Heydrich Attentat material to the Danube. This display contained many famous items, as well as the Heydrich 320 Mercedes, with the damage seen in many images. The display also contained a lot of SS regalia. There were several grey uniforms (none at all of the Heydrich's, it seemed...unlike the gory coat of Franz Ferdinand in the Arsenal in Wien) and a black uniform from Halle with an honor cuff title, too. I guess since Heydrich was from Halle, the black uniform was there amid the other pieces. I believe this material is normally in Praha, but my Slovak family wanted me to see this material. Maybe the Czechs were rubbing it into their cousins about Tiso and Meciar.
I also went to Mauthausen in 2005, I think, and there was no regalia there at all, save the camp itself, which is a pretty appalling place.
Happy collecting. FB
Addendum, I did not make any pictures in Bratislava/Pressburg/Poszony. The museum also had a nice exhibit on Beavers (cute animals in the water who make dams..) in Slovakia, which was not at all political.
