I've been sorting through a few things and thought some would like to see this . We always see the Teno blades and sometimes the headgear ...but the earlier Black Teno Uniforms don't come up that often.

I see he has the cufftitle, so does he have loops for the 1920 TeNo Badge on the chest?

It has 2 sets of loops on the left breast pocket ..the upper set (you can see in the photo) could fit the pin on that badge but below that set is another pair that's pretty close together. I remember seeing period photos with some wearing the badge on the left pocket , one gent wore it below the pocket ..since those dated badges were phased out quickly , I don't know how strict they were with the regs for it's wear ...even the cufftitles with the dates were short lived.

Not to impose on your thread, but what is that red visor cap? I have never seen that before.

Come on in Tj , except for you and Ron ..it's not that busy here right now Roll Eyes I tried posting a few things but , looks like the debates had more action for me --hey , I tried right ?
That Red Top is a Reichsbahn Visor I'm not sure if it was for Platform or Senior pay grade personnel , like a supervisor (no pun)..This one has enlisted style chinstrap
If the Train Platform was full of people ..someone wearing a Red top would be easier to pick out in a crowd

That visibility theory makes perfect sense. Man, there is something to learn on every thread on this site.

Before today, I would have had to do a clear second take if I came across one of those for sale.

Thanks for 'splain'n it to me Big Grin

On that last photo, it makes you wonder if the man on the right's past injuries relegated him to Reichsbahn duty and away from the front? He is tall with a sports badge, so he is not weenie, but then the party badge may have helped with the 'cushy' job as well.

The guy on the right wasn't much of a swordsman in the sense of dueling.Those are scars from fencing.IMO Cool

It looks almost like a Gold Party Badge on his pocket ...he must have been well connected to avoid the Draft and keep that job 'cause the War was well under way at that point.
One thing I have not figured out though ..look at the angle on his sleeve eagle ,it looks like it was sewn on wrong ...strange

Mike,

Outstanding stuff! I really like the teno uniform. They are tough to find. In my quest to get one representative uniform from each branch, teno is still an open space in my collection. Got the daggers, but no uniform.

Hi Mike!

Ive been waiting for that uniform to show up from U.P.S but I guess you shipped it late? Roll Eyes Big Grin.

This is one of those collecting rooms that you can get lost in as everywhere you turn there is something neat to look at.

Thanks for the pictures Mike.

Best,

"Liberace avatar". Confused
What an insult but still very funny. Big Grin
Geees, I just may have to change it, not "macho" enought.

Tell me Mike, do you think it would be possible for you to post some pics of your Banschutz uniforms, whenever you have time ?
I would really love to see it.

Mike, my compliments to you. This is an amazing collection. You must have been collecting for at least 50 years with this kinda accumulation. What you need for displaying all that stuff is the 747 hangar in Everett, Washington.

Thanks Manfred ...I'm really glad you like it, it is fun and a big part of the Hobby being able to share "collections" with each other.
I (unlike many) never really centered on collecting certain things like JUST Headgear or JUST Medals ..I loved it ALL ..but , I could never have been able to start a "broad spectrum" style collection at todays prices ..pretty soon I bet the "Robb Report" will prob be doing an article about this Hobby.
I think I was 6 or 7 when I got my first Helmet ...I'll be 50 this year
(that went by quick huh?)
Anyway ..as long as you guys don't mind , I'll post a few more pics
Here are some of my Ordnance items ..

Very impressive, Mike. If the cooking job ever gets tiring, there just may be a spot in the museum business open for you.

I have a question when you get time. In the picture with the time 22:42, on the lower shelf is what appears to be a dark blue visor cap with red piping. Just what was that one?

I am asking because I have a neighbor that has a similiar one he wishes to sell me, but having never seen one like this in dark blue, but with a ****ade for lower insignia. It appeared to me to be DDR cap with TR insignia.

It is still available for $250.

Possibly I can photograph it soon.

Hi Tj ...That's a Visor for Civilian Fire Fighters working for the Luftwaffe ..like the Air Field Fire Dept.I hope you can get it soon because it's not that common , and that's a great price. I've also seen these with the Luft Eagle (not sure if that was regulation or not)

Wow Mike!! Your collection is amazing. The Teno Tunic is the first I have ever seen. Thank you for showing it off.

Unless I missed something, you do not have any Luftwaffe cloth?

Regards
Paul

Hi Paul ...I think I have some patches an maybe a few tab sets but ..not a ton of cloth and NO WHERE close to what you have , come to think of it , I bet you cornered the market on Luft Tabs.
In that big Glass case I have a bunch of Ryker mounts with "stuff" (not sure WHAT "stuff" ..it's been a while since I took them out Confused)I know one is my "You've been Screwed" case, I keep all my badges that I've been burned on over the years (ahhh, the memories Red Face) ..but there is some cloth in there though..I'll check them out if you want , let me know .

Thanks Ray but..West Point has a large room full of items that probably won't be displayed until long after we are all long gone ..it's a shame but , the "Public" can't look at WW2 objectively yet , the wounds are still healing. Many letters have been written to the West Point Superintendent's Office complaining about how some displays glorify the Nazis so , I can't blame the Museum for being reluctant to share what they have in the archives. They use to display the Flag the 42nd ID removed when they Liberated Dachau. They had to hide it because there was a certain group who kept spitting on it and trying to rip/destroy it. How can any Museum share or teach anything about History with things like that going on ?

Mike, the only difference is he said it belonged to the "Chief of the police at the airstrip" and it had what appeared to be a 'typical' eagle, and a ****ade.

I believe I can buy it anytime.

Now you have me wondering Confused any way you can take a picture of it? I'd like to see what it is.
