Donald, yes I did own the Thorner tunic and sold it to finace the Wolff tunic . At the sums of money needed to collect anymore it is hard to keep everything. I like SS Generals stuff the best especially when it can be traced to the vet bringing it back.

Dear Colleague, thank you. We celebrate your collection and your refined taste. The Dr. Willi Meerwald field grey uniform ensemble that turned up the Presidio Army Museum would have suited your taste to a tee. It was a Holters tunic and overcoat, and I think an Ehrendegen. The peaked cap was non descript and likely from the Kleiderkasse without much embellishment. The ensemble is now at Fort Knox, I think, still within the army history system. I worked at the museum when it appeared there around 1976 or 1977, I think. It was on par with the rest of your material. Thank you for your images and we are eager to see more. Viel Sammlerglueck.
