Potscriptum: I hate "scull" threads and am tipping the balance towards more authentic regalia, at least such is my hope.

The LAH Montur came from a dealer who is very resourceful. His material frequently forms the subject of our inquiry here.

I wish I could find these things in normal places, but they arose originally chiefly from the US occupation troops in western Germany in the period from war's end until the 1970s, I wager.

There was a time when all of this was unwanted junk, and I can well recall such a time and place.

The internet has made possible the collection of such material on a scale that was impossible when I was a beginner. My elderly colleagues (as am I....) will sustain my statement.
