Reichsmarschall Hermann Goring’s tunic A stunning private tailor made
white, fine tricot tunic cut in the Kleiner Rock style and attributed to
Reichsmarschall Hermann Goring. This tunic is in absolute near mint condition
with only a few minor, light stains.
Tunic has a matching pair of Reichsmarschall collar tabs of the 2nd
pattern, 1941 design as well as a pair of matching shoulderboards of
Reichsmarschall rank, all outstanding in the quality of manufacture. The breast eagle is the finest example
of a hand embroidered eagle that you will ever see…only what you would
expect from a piece attributed to Goring. Great piece of history that once
belonged to one of the more interesting characters of World War Two. (click on photos

Heer General’s Panzer Wrap Uniform A full uniform for a Generalmajor
in the armored units, or Panzer service, consisting of a wrap around field
jacket and field trousers. Both
jacket and trousers are private purchase, tailor-made from a fine, black
doeskin wool with very high quality detail in construction throughout. The wrap (jacket) has gold bullion
cord piping around the collar (General officer wraps have also been observed
with pink or red piping and with no piping). General officer collar tabs and
shoulderboards are in gold wire and bullion with an even age and tone. The
breast eagle is rendered in gold celleon with black highlights, over a black
backing. There are many loops on
the right breast for awards and a ribbon bar. The left breast has loops for a German
Cross. Field trousers are of
standard design for armoured service with tapered legs and tie ribbons at the
bottom edge. Red lampassen (broad
General officer stripes) are tailored into the pants, providing a stunning
display. Both the tunic and
trousers have evidence of name tags that were removed, but there is no
knowledge as to the name of the General officer. Additional, extensive detail
photographs of the interior of the wrap and trousers are available to those
with serious interest. |

Heer General’s named Tunic and Overcoat A nice, named uniform grouping
belonging to Knights Cross recipient General der Infanterie Friedrich
Fangohr. Grouping consists of a
waffenrock period altered to an old style service tunic, with the addition of
patch breast pockets, slanted side pockets and French cuffs. Tunic has Generalmajor rank insignia,
consisting of celleon shoulderboards and bullion breast eagle and collar
tabs. Fastener hooks were added under the collar for attachment of the
Knights Cross. The overcoat was
tailored for Fangohr in December of 1943 when he was a Generalmajor and
Generaloberst Hermann Hoth’s Chief of Staff of the 4th
Panzer Army. The coat retains the tailor name tag and Generalleutnant
shoulderboards (Fangohr was later promoted to General der Infanterie in
1945). This grouping comes with a
folder of research obtained from the German archives by the veteran’s
family the uniform was sourced from. (click on photo at left for additional/larger images) |

Luftwaffe Generalmajor Officers Greatcoat Tailor made greatcoat for a
Generalmajor in the Luftwaffe made of a fine grade wool and in excellent
condition. Coat features the wide
white, badgecloth lapels and white collar piping, indicative of a General
officer in the Luftwaffe. Also
unique to the Luftwaffe was the use of collar rank insignia on greatcoats,
and this coat exhibits two stunning celleon collar tabs featuring a mixture
of celleon with fine gold bullion highlights. Shoulderboards are a matching celleon
and aluminum cord. This coat
would display great with a Luft Generalmajor uniform, which is a much easier and
more common rank to find. (click on photos

Heer General Officer collar tabs A pair of collar tabs for General
officers in the German army (Heer).
Tabs are constructed of tightly woven, gold celleon thread over a base
of very fine, bright red badge cloth.
There are slight variances in the embroidery, as is typical with hand
embroidered insignia, so these are not an exact match. The backing reinforcement material is
also different, but the tabs are obviously produced by the same manufacturer
as all other features are identical.

Heer Generaloberst shoulder boards This is a very tough rank to
find…Generaloberst of course being the highest General rank except
Field Marshal, and is the equivalent to a four star General. Boards are a matching pair constructed
of gold bullion outer cords with an inner silver cord of the variant
basketweave pattern (most are made of the soutache, “V”
pattern). Three bright aluminum
pips are affixed to each board.
Aluminum does not age, so the pips are a stark contrast to the ageing
of the cords, however the bullion cords are bright underneath the pips,
indicating they have been on the boards for a long time. Slip-ons converted to sew-in with
uniform threads still embedded in the base of the boards, showing evidence of
removal from a tunic. (click

SS Police Oberfuhrer Uniform A full uniform (tunic and pants)
for the rank of Oberfuhrer (senior colonel) in the SS Polizei division. This was a unique rank to the SS that
was between Colonel and General, yet entitled the officer many of the privileges
of a General officer. What makes
this uniform incredibly rare is the SS style collar Oberfuhrer collar tabs on
police-green backing. This was
instituted in February of 1942 but rarely worn as most officers in the police
who belonged to the SS preferred the black backed SS officer tabs, rather
than the green backing. Both
tunic and breeches have matching name tags and police stampings, but the
officers name has been scratched off the tags. Complete with officers bandeleir,
leather cartouche and officers aguilette. Very rare and in excellent
condition. (click on photos for additional/larger

lampassen. Included with the uniform is a M-43 Generals cap, in a different
shade of green, with celleon piping and a celleon cap eagle. The silver bullion cockade has thin

Waffen SS General Sepp Dietrich’s Leather Coat Leather overcoat and
shoulderboards attributed to well known Waffen SS General Sepp Dietrich. Shoulderboards are of the Oberstgruppenfuhrer
rank (three frosted rank pips) in gold bullion and silver cording and are of
the slip-on variety (they have
been removed from the coat due to fragility of the underlay fabric). Non-regulation gold General officer
screwpost buttons for shoulderboard attachment, all others are regulation
silver, as was correct for the SS.
Dietrich of course, ‘personalized’ his uniforms
incorporating some Heer traditions by utilizing gold to indicate General rank
as per the army (Heer) style, instead of the silver regulated by the Waffen
SS. There is a dagger hanger also
present inside the pocket flap. Overcoat exterior, sleeve lining and inner
lining all show much wear and field use.
Coat and separate inside liner both are maker marked. Comes with several pages of provenance
from the veteran who captured this from Dietrich’s home (only one
sample page is shown). Many
period photos exist of Dietrich wearing this very coat. Excellent opportunity to own a very
rare piece of history attributed to a charismatic and highly respected
General officer of World War Two (Sepp Dietrich was commander of the
Liebstandarte Adolf Hitler, which was Hitlers honorary SS bodyguard. |

boards are sewn-in with screw post buttons. Collar is piped in panzer pink. Wrap and pants are made in high
quality black tricot fabric and lined in black artificial silk. Pants have General’s red
lampassen (broad red stripes) and ties at the bottom of each leg. Loops for many awards incuding breast
award for DKiG or Spanish Cross. Un-named, but could probably be researched
as based on pants size this was a very tall General. This uniform has some good provenance
as well and has only been in the hands of a few collectors. (click on photos

German Heer General der Infanterie tunic, named Tunic, pants and visor cap. Tunic is named to a Pour Le Merite,
Knights Cross and German Cross In Gold recipient Kuno-Hans von Both. It is made from the finest doeskin
I’ve seen. Boards and tabs are bullion and exhibit matching age, breast
eagle is celleon. All buttons are
maker mark matched, no flaws whatsoever on the exterior. There is a minor
stain inside on the interior back panel.
Pants have matching tailor label though do not have owners name tag
and are made from heavy, top grade gabardine. This was a Russian front General and
the whole uniform is made of very heavy weight wool. Just an absolute beautiful, stunning
piece. The Generals visor did not
come with the uniform but is being sold with this as a set. It is an Erel with proper venting on
the inside and outside cockade, constructed from fine doeskin. The medals shown on the tunic are not
included, but available for separate sale. The ribbon bar is a modern made copy
using original materials. (click on photos

German Luftwaffe Generalmajor Uniform and Visor Extremely rare General’s
Fliegerbluse (Flyers Blouse) tunic, pants and visor cap. Tunic has initials inside, but no
name. Research, based on initials
shows three Luftwaffe Generals during WW2 with these initials. Based on my research, the tunic size
and award loops, it may have belonged to a well known Paratroop General. Tunic is a very finely made lighter
weight gabardine in excellent condition with the exception of a few very
small holes (about pencil point size) that can only be seen upon very close
inspection. Tunic is of typical
fliegerbluse cut and has a dagger hanger loop in the left pocket. Boards and
tabs are both bullion, breast eagle is celleon. Gold bullion piping surrounds the
collar, but is smaller than regulation.
Pants are a heavier weight gabardine showing some use and minor field
repairs. White Lampassen are
still nice and bright and free from staining. Visor may be of government stock, in
lesser grade gabardine with no maker mark. Bullion insignia shows much age,
toning and some mold in places.
Entire uniform is more of a field quality rather than service dress
and all pieces match very well to each other. Medals, belt and holster are not
included in sale but may be purchased separately with uniform. (click on photos

Heer Generalfeldmarschall shoulderboards 1st pattern 1938-1940
pair of matching shoulderboards for a Generalfeldmarschall in the German
Army. Batons are stamped of flat
stock silver in the first pattern and also have a silver frosting
applied. Shoulderboards are the
earlier style gold bullion with silver inner cord and are of the very rare
five loop variant. These are a
larger set of boards and were probably used on a greatcoat or leathercoat and
do show some slight arching and bending from wear. Boards are the slip-on variety and
also show wear from button attachment.
There is a very even ageing to both the boards and batons. An excellent, original set of GFM
boards. (click on photos

Heer Generalfeldmarschall shoulderboards These have gone back in the
collection, but pictures will remain up for those who want reference.
Matching pair of slip-on shoulderboards for an early Generalfeldmarschall in
the Army (Heer). This is the 1st
pattern of crossed batons which exhibit a design going back into the
1800’s. This pattern was
officially worn from 1938 up until 1940 when they were replaced by a more detailed
design reflective of the Nazi era. (For more detail on the baton patterns and
dates, see Army GFM Insignia). The shoulderboards are of the
Reichsheer pattern with the non-visible red underlay. Nicely aged and toned early gold
bullion and silver cords with the silver darkening towards the end of the
boards. Batons are in excellent condition and still show a nice, silver even
appearance. Werner von Blomberg
was the only Generalfeldmarschall from 1930 to 1940 though this pattern was
also utilized by a few of the later promoted field marshal’s. GFM von
Leeb in particular seemed to favor this pattern, perhaps due to his dislike
of the Nazi party. It is unknown
who this pair may have belonged to. (click on photos
