Heer General Officer Visor Pre-1942 Highly desirable, top of the line
Erel “Privat” General officers visor cap. Cap body is made from a very fine,
high quality doeskin wool and is in absolutely mint condition. Piping is in a nice, bright gold
celleon which contrasts well with the aged gold bullion chincord. Wreath and cockade are hand embroidered
silver bullion, national emblem is aluminum. Interior of cap is the typical mint
green lining of a Privat and is extremely clean. The only issue is a cracked fracture
in the sweatband at the forehead.
Tissue paper is still stuffed between the sweatband and the lining and
the sweatband is brittle (as a result, no under-the-hood shots). |

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.

fastened to the boards, but removed.
There is a nice, even age to the tops of the boards so the devices
were likely removed a long time ago.

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

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

bottom edge. Red lampassen (broad
General officer stripes) are tailored into the pants, providing a stunning
display. Both the tunic and

Heer General Officer Breeches Very early, 1934 tailor-made General
officer riding breeches by the famous German tailor firm, Holters. Breeches are stone gray, tricot fabric
with light grey leather reinforcement around the front knee area. Ankle closure consists of a vertical
double eyelet lace-up and a horizontal three button closure. The broad, red General Officer side
stripe adornments (lampassen) trim the side of each leg and are tailored
around the side slash pocket openings.
The cloth exterior of the breeches are in average to good condition,
with minor nips and snags and one 2.5cm hole in the back of the right
leg. The leather reinforcement
shows some soiling and age, but the leather itself is still very nice and
supple. The breeches are named on
the Holters tailor tag. Overall,
a very early pre-war set of General’s riding breeches showing some
honest wear and age. |

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

Reichsfuhrer SS Collar Tab A single collar tab for the rank of
Reichsfuhrer SS, which was held from 1929 - 1945 by Heinrich Himmler. The tab is for the right collar and is
very tightly embroidered in aluminum wire on a fine, black velvet backing. Only five of the brass bead highlights
remain on the laurel wreath, but otherwise this example is in excellent
condition. There are tiny punch
holes in the upper left and lower right corners indicating that this was most
likely a display piece. Extremely
rare original rank insignia for the head of the SS. (click on photos

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. |

Heer Generalmajor Panzer Uniform Privately tailored black panzer
wrapper and pants for a General in the panzer troops. Insignia is in all matching celleon,
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

Boards are the larger, overcoat size variety with all three cords in brite

ago. For more info on Luft GFM

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
