Beautiful displays Tom and just oozing with quality. You are a master of expressing your passion! Quite fantastic! Would that I had your flair!

Tom You have captured the beauty in your photo's!
I always thought they were under valued at one time by collectors!
They just make a collection come alive and to get that Dr's one is tremendous!
They are like m&m's you want the cav,inf,panzer,etc!
And of course the right condition visor and extra's!
Then like a cake the edgeweapon to top it off!
Perfect display!

WOW such great looking and well preserved uniforms after 70+ yrs. I don't think I have a suit over 10yrs old that looks that good

Many thanks guys for the comments. I started collecting waffenrock when I had trouble finding nice army daggers for my collection. I always remembered the images and films of the grand parades and always liked the parade uniforms. Seems now the tide has shifted for me finding a nice waffenrock is very difficult these days. It�s quite rewarding to research and set up a period correct display - finding all the right stuff and piecing them together one item at a time. Look forward to posting a few more for you guys.

Did you see the grouping on butscheck? There is a waffenrock with a german cross on it. Only thing is that the lanyards are separated in the trunk of paperwork.

Kyle I have seen the Butschek waffenrock with the German Cross. The one I really liked and was interested in was the Rudolf Datz waffenrock. It�s already exceeded what I was willing to pay - Great waffenrock though.
