Original German WWII issue, but exactly for what we do not know, having restored many German WWII vehicles, still not sure. But it can be used for anything! A small tank, halftrack, truck or anything! No rust no holes. Inside is covered in oil and will need to be washed out before using, to keep it clean inside. Weighs 19 pounds boxed so heavy to ship.

The insignia on the front are the eagle and wreath made of aluminium. The wreath is the vented style which allows air flow through the center into the cap. There is no damage to the cap or the wool.

On the front are two bluegray painted LW pebbled buttons. The liner is made of the midwar light gray rayon material and is stamped "1944" and the RbNr 0/0501/0015 and the size "58". The cap also has the side pulls isnide the flaps. This cap is fantastic and is in unissued conition.
German Pre-war SA brownshirt. This one is VERY SPECIAL! First, it's in excellent condition and does not look to have ever been worn. Next, the color is more a Brown then Tan, which brownshirts were made from all different shades of tab and some light Brown, but this brownshirt is made of a silk/cotton blend, not all cotton as most are. It's a silk/cotton blend and is EXTREMELY soft, and the material is a very high quality. I have only seen another in a silk/cotton Blend before and that was for and SA General. This is a tailor made brownshirt, not an issue one and I am guessing this NCO or his family had lots of money to afford this. Expensive material!
The brownshirt is piped in a Black and White cotton piping, same as the topping on the shoulderboard. The collar tabs are Brown, which on a Brown shirt looks different. The tabs have the rank side for an NCO, single silver pip and a single rank stripe. The other side has the unit R6/23 for Westmark, based in Andernach. Both tabs show light wear, same as the shirt but the shirt shows some damage to the right front lower, see the photos, most likely storage. The shoulderboard is hand sewn to the shoulder, and is also Brown based. There are loops for one award on the pocket. The buttons are silver chrome finish, and solid back with the maker and "ASSMANN" all held on with a metal ring. The party armband is an excellent example, no damage or fading, is hand sewn across the top only, and is a multi-seciton made armband. The liner is a partial white upper section of cotton, and there are clear stamps in the neck for the size. At the waist are the belt ramps, all match in Silver pebbled finish and all are RZM stamped. This belt ramp system is the more expensive "bobbi" style where the ramps can be easily removed when you wash the shirt, then put back in. You can see where the RZM tag was at one time.
One last thing about the shirt. Its high quality made and the liner clearly shows this, all seams are completely sewn over so there are no rough edges, also at the neck, at the top brown button is a tab to fold under the other side when button, all features of a tailor made shirt. You will not see another like this! If not for the minor damage to the lower right front, this shirt would be MINT! This shirt is of the quality for a HIGH ranking SA official. You see higher end tailored items sometimes in Army parade tunics as well, but for lower ranks. This one is NICE!

Family photo grouping belonging to the von Loringhoven family. This is a grouping of pictures if the family members, mother, daughter and others for the family von Loringhoven and consists of several pictures and a small photo album. Below is the history of the original grouping which Relics of the Reich had.
This large set belonged to Wessl Baron Freytag von Loringhoven and his brother Klaus. The set is very large and all items came directly from the family. The set was stuffed into two large suitcases and stored after the war! Baron Klaus Freytag von Loringhoven and his brother wore these uniforms, several tunics, a greatcoat and trousers, plus the visor caps.
One of the brothers who is also famous, Bernd Loringhoven has be featured on many Post-war shows about WWII and the Plot, and rose to the rank of General in the West german Army. His cousin, Wessel Freytag von Loringhoven, provided the detonator charge and explosives for the 20 July assassination attempt against Adolf Hitler. Wessel Freiherr Freytag von Loringhoven (10 November 1899, Groß-Born, Courland Governorate – 26 July 1944, Mauerwald, East Prussia), was a colonel in the High Command of the German Armed Forces (Oberkommando der Wehrmacht, or OKW) and a member of the German Resistance against German dictator Adolf Hitler (Widerstand). Loringhoven was a friend of Claus Graf Schenk von Stauffenberg, who was the leader of the 20 July Plot to assassinate Hitler in 1944. Loringhoven provided the detonator charge and explosives for the assassination attempt against Hitler on 20 July 1944. He was able to obtain unrecognized English explosives from German intelligence (Abwehr) sources. However, Ernst Kaltenbrunner, the Chief of the Reich Security Main Office (Reichssicherheitshauptamt, or RSHA), discovered the actions of Loringhoven. On 26 July 1944, immediately before he was to be arrested by the Gestapo and fully aware of the interrogation techniques utilized by them, Loringhoven committed suicide at Mauerwald in East Prussia. The rank listing published in 1939 for Wessel shows 1st Army Corp, 1st Cav. Brigade, Aufklaerungs Abteilung 1, 3rd, Krad. Co. They knew each other well but Bernd was not involved directly in the plot; after it failed Bernd managed to escape arrest, due to the support of Guderian. The Waffen rock and Cav piped visor cap belonged to Wessel. One of the brothers, Klaus is the Artillery piped items. Klaus had some duties with or near Hitler as several of the photos show him in photos with Hitler, same with his brother Wessel. Klaus was an OberLeut. in 1941-42 and wore the two Artillery tunics and crusher.
The set is big, and has many paper items as well. The tunics, and there are three, were worn by Wessel and Klaus, the Artillery piped, two early tunics, Captains rank, and a greatcoat, ALL are named! and we worn by Klaus. There's also a fantastic crusher visor with the direct woven wreath and early eagle, the wreath is ultra-rare as its woven into the capband! There's also a pair of officers Stone-gray trousers also named. The other tunic is a Parade tunic to Wessel, and is Cavalry piped, with ADJ cords, the tunic is mint and has the number 1 and Recon emblem on it. The cufftitle is lightly hand tacked onto the tunic and is an Ultrarare FHQ cufftitle in Bullion, and I have two of these! One loose. These cufftitles are rare and expensive buy themselves. There's his Parade brocade belt and buckle in the original box, one small end of the box is loose but inclued. Several pairs of boots are included as well, There is a well worn Calvary piped crusher visor as well that was Wessels, This is an ErEL makred cap. Both crushers are well worn. But the last visor is a MINT and I cannot say this enough, a MINT Artillery piped visor! I have never seen one this nice and its unissued!

There are many photos, and the pics I have here will show them in detail. Many are personal of his wife and family, baby etc. but the majority are of Service in the Army, and many originals with Hitler, Goering and others. One shows him getting an award? with Hitler and another shows him shaking hands with hitler. There are many. Some seem to focus around Hitler's Train with Keitel, Goering, and many others. Some are portraits as well. Next are several papers, a few are Hitler Youth papers, membership cards and ID booklets. Klaus was the younger brother and was in the HJ, then the Artillery. Many personal letters written to and from klaus in Russia in 1941. Last are several books, many popular titles, including Rommels books all are named to him inside the cover of each book. Hitlers Mein Kampf and Rosenberg's book as well. There are some othe papers as well, some letters, and city information books? and many family photos.

The only damage is to the underside of the bill, it is broken in half, near the center where he might have folded it, otherwise its nice. Next are two Blue extra tops, Blue wool, one has a Gold bullion eagle still on it, but moths have left damage around the eagle. There is some moth damage to the top. The other Blue top has moth damage as well, you can clearly see where the eagle was removed at one time. The extra White top is clean, and shows the pin holes where the metal eagle went, no damage. Next is the large visor carrying case. Pasteboard round shape and has a seperate lid. The top leather strap is missing and the lid shows damage to the rim and the inside pad, the main case is nice, Blue velvet inside and clean. Last is a name plate with his name and rank, and four screw holes in each corner to attach to a locker, or foot locker possibly.
The grouping was left behind in Germany before his last patrol and has NOT been in any other collection. There is some damage to some of the caps and the case, this is the way it was found and was stored. Regardless, its EXTREMELY rare to ever find a grouping like this, I have never seen another set this complete.

See below for the original description.
This large set belonged to Wessl Baron Freytag von Loringhoven and his brother Klaus. The set is very large and all items came directly from the family. The set was stuffed into two large suitcases and stored after the war! Baron Klaus Freytag von Loringhoven and his brother wore these uniforms, several tunics, a greatcoat and trousers, plus the visor caps.
One of the brothers who is also famous, Bernd Loringhoven has be featured on many Post-war shows about WWII and the Plot, and rose to the rank of General in the West german Army. His cousin, Wessel Freytag von Loringhoven, provided the detonator charge and explosives for the 20 July assassination attempt against Adolf Hitler. Wessel Freiherr Freytag von Loringhoven (10 November 1899, Groß-Born, Courland Governorate – 26 July 1944, Mauerwald, East Prussia), was a colonel in the High Command of the German Armed Forces (Oberkommando der Wehrmacht, or OKW) and a member of the German Resistance against German dictator Adolf Hitler (Widerstand). Loringhoven was a friend of Claus Graf Schenk von Stauffenberg, who was the leader of the 20 July Plot to assassinate Hitler in 1944. Loringhoven provided the detonator charge and explosives for the assassination attempt against Hitler on 20 July 1944. He was able to obtain unrecognized English explosives from German intelligence (Abwehr) sources. However, Ernst Kaltenbrunner, the Chief of the Reich Security Main Office (Reichssicherheitshauptamt, or RSHA), discovered the actions of Loringhoven. On 26 July 1944, immediately before he was to be arrested by the Gestapo and fully aware of the interrogation techniques utilized by them, Loringhoven committed suicide at Mauerwald in East Prussia. The rank listing published in 1939 for Wessel shows 1st Army Corp, 1st Cav. Brigade, Aufklaerungs Abteilung 1, 3rd, Krad. Co. They knew each other well but Bernd was not involved directly in the plot; after it failed Bernd managed to escape arrest, due to the support of Guderian. The Waffen rock and Cav piped visor cap belonged to Wessel. One of the brothers, Klaus is the Artillery piped items. Klaus had some duties with or near Hitler as several of the photos show him in photos with Hitler, same with his brother Wessel. Klaus was an OberLeut. in 1941-42 and wore the two Artillery tunics and crusher.
The set is big, and has many paper items as well. The tunics, and there are three, were worn by Wessel and Klaus, the Artillery piped, two early tunics, Captains rank, and a greatcoat, ALL are named! and we worn by Klaus. There's also a fantastic crusher visor with the direct woven wreath and early eagle, the wreath is ultra-rare as its woven into the capband! There's also a pair of officers Stone-gray trousers also named. The other tunic is a Parade tunic to Wessel, and is Cavalry piped, with ADJ cords, the tunic is mint and has the number 1 and Recon emblem on it. The cufftitle is lightly hand tacked onto the tunic and is an Ultrarare FHQ cufftitle in Bullion, and I have two of these! One loose. These cufftitles are rare and expensive buy themselves. There's his Parade brocade belt and buckle in the original box, one small end of the box is loose but inclued. Several pairs of boots are included as well, There is a well worn Calvary piped crusher visor as well that was Wessels, This is an ErEL makred cap. Both crushers are well worn. But the last visor is a MINT and I cannot say this enough, a MINT Artillery piped visor! I have never seen one this nice and its unissued!
Some sword and dagger inner belts and a sword brown felt cover bag. Next are two mapcases, with maps in them, I have not removed them to see what they are, but assumning Russia. There are many photos, and the pics I have here will show them in detail. Many are personal of his wife and family, baby etc. but the majority are of Service in the Army, and many originals with Hitler, Goering and others. One shows him getting an award? with Hitler and another shows him shaking hands with hitler. There are many. Some seem to focus around Hitler's Train with Keitel, Goering, and many others. Some are portraits as well. Next are several papers, a few are Hitler Youth papers, membership cards and ID booklets. Klaus was the younger brother and was in the HJ, then the Artillery. Many personal letters written to and from klaus in Russia in 1941. Last are several books, many popular titles, including Rommels books all are named to him inside the cover of each book. Hitlers Mein Kampf and Rosenberg's book as well. There are some othe papers as well, some letters, and city information books?
This is a fantastic set, and there is not another like it! This family is well documented on the internet and much can be learned with these brothers. The uniforms all show wear and use but normal, only the crushers show more wear. All uniforms are named. This set is history.

An Unissued pair of German WWII short ankle boots. These are not RBNr. stamped and have no markings at all. They are the proper Combat worn pattern, but are a small size.

German WWII Original pair of matching SS Officers shoulderboards. These are sew in style, and are white piped for SS-Infantry. The are final based in black.
Top cords are the subduded silver and what makes these special is that they were most likely 1st SS Panzer Division LAH boards. They clearly show where the cyphers were removed and after lightly placing an original LAH cypher over the top of the holes the markings line up perfectly. Of course the cyphers were removed long ago, but could be replaced to make these what they were, SS LAH boards!
