Hi Dave, all I can add is a single unissued cap badge from my collection.

Cheers, Ade.

Ade ... that's a nice Schuma cap patch, and a good place to start into Schuma Collecting! The cap patches were a metallic weave for Officers and a Grayish-White weave for EM/NCO ranks, "always" on Black cloth background.

I just got in this nice photo of 2 Schuma men. It shows:
• the Schuma LT. sleeve patch (it is 'shiney' so perhaps that will narrow down the possible types.)
• Im Dienst Der Deutschen Polizei arm bands - NICE!
• Uniforms (& Schuma wore just about anything!) that look a bit like LUFT Tunics to me.
(BUT... I am no authority on these.) One tunic has a flap pocket.
• Probable Polizei Collar Tabs (Patches)
• Unknown Shoulder Boards - too narrow for typical Schuma + no Swastika seen on them.
• 2 different styles and sizes of leather belts.

You may see other things that I missed! ...Txs, Dave/dblmed

Hi Dave, they look like Luftwaffe Fliegerbluses to me too. The belts could well be Russian in origin.

Certainly an interesting photo, thanks for sharing it.

Cheers, Ade.

Hi there everyone. My Grandfather Brought back these shoudler boards from Germany during WW2. He was in the 8th Infantry division and his outfit made it as far as the Elbe river. Dave has already taken a look at them, and tells me that they are Schuma. I wonder, has anyone ever seen this unusual variation? They are green and don't have the piping.

I owe some time ago the similar strirred tunic, but with the artly insignia remains on the sleeve and clearly recognized as Shuma, trhe tunic was exact the Luftwaffe, but interesting that i9t was tagged inside for TeNo...

The belts looks to me like a early Reichswehr/Wehrmacht officers belts with rounded corners
