German WWII Stripped SS tunic. This is a very unique tunic. It's a Waffen-SS officers tunic for most likely a General. The tunic originally had army WH insignia on it, but it was determined it was without doubt a Waffen-SS officers tunic and the WH insignia was removed.  The tunic is in excellent condition, and shows light use only. No mothing or stains, one or two tiny pulls to the wool. The tunic has the unique SS style collar in dark green with the deep corner points and the size will only allow SS collar tabs. The tunic is also a 5-button front. The coat has loops for several awards, a ribbon bar and loops for the German Cross. The buttons are silver pebbled, maker marked on back and all match. The tunic also has screw posts for the shoulderboards. You can see where the shoulderboards were, and if you look there are remains of light grey/white threads, which would lead me to believe a SS General. Where the brest eagle was, there is only a faint image, but its very faint and very hard to see. On the sleeve, and you can see it in person where a sleeve eagle was, but again that is very faint and hard to see was well. I don't see where a cufftitle was, but took a photo anyway. The liner is a pale green silk like material, nice clean and has the inner belt with chromed buckles. There is a dagger slot as well. Not named, no tag. The threads at the shoulderboard openings would suggest a Waffen-SS General as the base of the boards is usually light gray or white. This would be a great restoration project.

Gold chromed buttons all match but one on the rear. The coat has inner red lapels. There are provisions for shoulderboards, but this coat does not come with them. One interesting thing is on the left cuff you can see where a cufftitle was at one time. Not sure what it was, but the outline is there and threads are there. Liner is a black/green polished cotton material and is in nice shape, some wear at the shoulders. It has an inner belt. I see no mothing at all on this coat. Not sure what its for, but perfect to restore and finish. One tiny repair to the front middle, but very small and hard to see. Inside the sleeve at the shoulder are marked out stamps, maybe from a museum.

Original Pre-war SA or NSDAP cross strap. made of dark brown leather, this strap has metal ends which are silver in color, there is wear to all the metal pieces, so the silver or chromed finish is about 50% on each clip and buckle. Each clip end is not marked. Included are two brown leather slip-ons for the belt. Each are for the standard enlisted belt, not for an officer's belt. One slip-on has a stamping on it, with maker and dated 1937, the other is not marked. Leather is still soft but shows age cracking and wrinkles throughout, it's not mint, but shows age. It's good for a display. Measures 30 inches in current adjustment but will let out another 8-9 inches. This would be great for an SA brownshirt or tunic display.
German Imperial visor cap for an officer. Pink piping with matching blue wool top and capband. Cap has both cockades on it, one for Prussia. Inbetween is a gold small emblem for Prussia. The bill shows some wear to the edges. The liner is oilcloth with no makers name. The sweatband is tan oilcloth and shows wear some tears and is loose from loss of threads for a few inches.

The sweatband is brown oilcloth and shows age. The cloth liner has the makers name in silver print, very nice logo. If this cap was ever worn, it was very little. I believe its just age and storage on the set. The cap box is a printed design cardboard style. This cap box does show age is in not very good condition. It has the makers name on the top of the lid, and inside the lid is the man's name and Regt. 40, 12th company. As you will see the makers name in the cap and the box and not the same BUT the town is the same. These two have been together for over 100 years. I cannot explain the different makers, but same town name. Next, the name label in the box WAS the same as in the cap. This same white label fell out of the cap many years ago when I got it. Sorry to say I have lost the caps name tag. It was the same name. VERY UNIQUE set as the cap boxes never survive this many years!
German Imperial officers visor cap. I believe this is for Bayern based on the cockade. The top and cap band are the same color blue for a Medical Officer.

The blue body has a a few moth nips, but still a very clean visor cap. The sweatband is tan oilcloth and shows age, but little if any use. Cloth liner has the makers name on it, but hard to read.

Inside you can see an inner waist band of an off white leather and a partial liner in tan which has very faint makers stamps. There is a section of the thread loose at the back of the neck at the collar seem, about 2 inches, but does not stand out. These are often sold with SS shoulderboards, and the SS sleeve eagle on them by dealers over the years and the last one sold for $6500. The stamps are often thought to be of a Czech maker, and warehoused and never issued. Some have claimed Kreigsmarine wear, then used by the Waffen-SS. Very nice!

Double green stripes with thin green stripe in center for the rank of General. These trousers show little use and except for some mothing would be in mint condition.

Some wear and repairs to the edge of each suff as well. Inside the liner is the typical rayon and shows use and some satins. No markings I can see but based on wear and lots of sun and sweat, I am sure they're long gone.
WWII German original steel tank used for either oil or gas. Based on size, I say it's a Gas tank. Tag on side says 20 liters. Heavy steel, very strong it's been partially restored. The outside has been stripped and painted in the proper flat Green/Gray. This tank has a outlet in the middle bottom, threaded and on top it has an offset fill that uses the same gas cap as a kubelwagen! Same exact cap and chain. Next to the cap is a threaded inlet.
Original German WWII issue, but exactly for what I 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.

German WWII or Pre-war hunting or JagerMeister's greatcoat. This is a VERY RARE greatcoat and in 40 years of collecting Forestry and Hunting or DJ, I have only seen one and this is it. Made of a gray wool and a very fine quality tailored wool as well. The coat has a green wool collar and what makes this coat nice is the rank is embroidered directly to the collar.

These are the larger size shoulderboards used for wear on the General's greatcoat, the leather greatcoat and sometimes the winter sheepskin overcoat. These are larger than shoulderboards used on a tunic. Made of gold and silver bullion cord, with two large silver washed pips to each shoulderboard. This rank is Army General, usually General of Artillery, General of infantry, etc. The base is red wool and there is a tongue underneath to slip-on the coat.

German WWII Army General's M43 field cap. This one's nice! Made of the soft doeskin wool in a palegreen color. The photos don't convey the palegreen smooth doeskin as well as they should. The cap has two gilt colored buttons on front, solid backs, faint maker's stamp on each. On the front is the Silver flatwire M43 trapezoid machine sewn to the front of the cap. On the crown is gold bullion piping showing very light fading, but still clean. The cap has the fold down flaps as is normal on all M43 caps. Inside, the liner is a gray cotton satin weave, with a fantastic private maker's stamp to it. Very rare to find the maker's name inside. There is a tan colored sweatband all around the cap.

A few stiches where the sweatband attaches to the bill are torn, but a few only. No separation. This cap is VERY NICE and has no damage or mothing. A light stain inside the liner, but faint. One of the gilt buttons has some finish worn on it, but minor. This cap is very nice and maker marked as well.
This is a very rare patch. This is the Org. Todt sleeve insignia for female signals of the Org. Todt. Unissued. What makes this a rare patch, is that is made in BeVo. Of the few found for sale they are the early version (not BeVo) and usually damaged from moths. On the white there is some very faint soiling, but faint and should wipe off. I had 12 on a roll and all but one sold is a few weeks! Very hard to find!

Original German WWII MP38 parts kit built on a dummy receiver. This is a complete MP38 early kit. The receiver is a solid dummy BUT this one's well built and of a high quality. The back is stamped MP 38 ayf 41. It is built from several sections, put together on a custom aluminum receiver, not the typical cheaper versions of a solid cast aluminum. The receiver is cast so that you can see the bolt inside! The bolt inside the receiver is cast into it, but shows like an original. It's still a dummy receiver and cannot be made to fire. The parts are not matching numbers. This is a RARE MP38 kit and these are almost impossible to find. The trigger assembly is numbered 513, an early number and is in nice shape retaining 85% of the bluing. The folding stock matches this number. The magazine well is the smooth MP38 version and has a serial number 820 but the number may not be wartime. The barrel assembly is nice retaining about 50% of its bluing. The barrel resting bar is a postwar copy. The cocking handle is permently put into the dummy receiver and is the MP38 version. The magazine is an MP41 version and is empty, meaning no internal spring or follower. This kit is very solid and well made. Anything MP38 is very rare! NO INTERNATIONAL SALES. Buyer must be over 21 years old. This is not a firearm and is a parts kit.
German WWII original MP40 firing pin. Nice shape and not worn out. Has serial number or maker stamp on it.

There are no markings on the luger. Works exactly as the original. Comes with a single clip. Next is the Black leather holster, well made and heavy like the original. The quality is nice. Comes with the barrel cleaning rod. Next is the Black leather holster for the snail drum magazine, same high quality and heavy, brass fittings used like the original.

This again is a quality copy. NO markings anywhere. Cannot be made to fire. The set is very nice, but the gun and clip shows some wear. Fantastic display!
German WWII General's visor. This is a very rare General's visor cap. This is a visor cap for army (HEER) Administration Generals. This visor is made of very fine Doeskin wool, which is a very smooth quality wool. The visor is piped in Gold bullion cording which has age toning to it and has lightly darkened. What sets apart the Administration cap is that the piping on the capband is medium green and the bottom is gold bullion. That is the only difference. The capband is darkgreen with the medium green upper piping and the gold bullion lower piping. The chincord is gold bullion with light age toning. 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. There are no moth holes in the cap. The cap has the black vulcan visor with a brown underside. The visor underside has a few black marks but these are from the edging of the sweatband. Inside the liner is made of a pale green silk and has the sweatshield stamped for EREL Sonder Klasse Berlin and then Privat below that. This is the top EREL cap. Inside the front liner are a few tiny holes where the eagle is, but I can feel the prongs of the eagle lightly poking through the material. The eagle has not been replaced. The sweatband is a fine quality leather in darkgreen with the green felt at the front and several vent holes in the band as is normal for an EREL. Under the sweatband you can clearly see the vented cockade. Cap is a size 57ish. Very nice, very clean and VERY RARE!

German WWII Army (WH) General's M38 style field cap. Really nice M38 cap, made of a green/gray twill pattern wool. The cap has Gold bullion piping to the top crown and the scallops. The piping shows some age toning. The cap has an Army officers flatwire silver weave eagle to the front. The eagle is machine sewn on the top and then hand sewn on the sides and bottom. There is gold bullion soutach to the front, which also shows some age toning. The cockade is the 3D style. Two green side vents to the cap. The liner is a Rayon like material, color is gray/purple. The only markings inside are the size stamp "58". Some light sweat to the liner, but light. The cap has one issue which is the partial front leather sweatband is missing. The leather sweatband was gray in color, but over time had dried out and crumbled. If you look at the photos you can see what little is left of the sweatband. Beacuse of this, the cap is priced a lot lower than if it had the sweatband. Still a really nice clean cap with no mothing and light use.

Some light wear stains but overall nice. Perfect for completing your SA form display!

There is some light damage to the red wool (see the photo), but it's minor. The city patch is blue piped for Orts, and then tan center with the name of the city, RUDERSDORF in white chainstiching. There is a patch on both sides of the standarte. The rings are missing and all that is left is the material that once held the rings in place.

Visor is a private tailor made cap of twill wool, and is piped in a dark yellow for calvary troops. Silver aluminum eagle and cockade to the front. Visor has a black vulcan fiber bill with some wear to one edge and shows light crazing. This visor is nice and has a few tiny "picks" to the wool and one on the capband under the side and a moth bite on the side edge. Liner is the oilcloth orange color, and has the stiching holes where the sweatdiamond once was. A quality full leather sweatband has one tiny tear on the side.

The lower pocket flaps are the slash type. There are loops for one award on the breast pocket. Full satin brown liner has the dagger slot and there is an inner belt as well. A nice multi-colored tailors tag in the neck area.. This version is made of light weight wool, which you see often in RAD officers tunics. Except for the repairs to the top of the collar, it's a very nice and clean tunic.
WWII German NSDAP Leaders collar tab set. Reichslevel, matching left and right. These are for the highest level in the NSDAP. The rank is very high at Oberdienstleiter. The tabs are in excellent shape, and show little use. On the reverse of the one tab is the paper RZM tag. The tabs are on a velvet base. The color is a magenta, with yellow piping. Very nice and very high rank at the highest level in the NSDAP. Rare to find this high rank.
German WWII Luftwaffe General's insignia. This is a single shoulderboard and a single collar tab for an Administration general. Rare insignia, the shoulderboard is really nice, gold and silver bullion wire weave top, with a secondary based in Red and the main base in Green. It's a slip on style shoulderboard. Very nice! The single collar tab is the same green base with gold piping and gold wire weave to the middle. The back shows glue from being in a scrap book. This may come off with water, but that's up to you. A luftwaffe Administration General is a rare grouping to find!
NSDAP Political leaders collar tabs for the rank of Gauleiter. These are EXTREMELY RARE! Post-39 style, these are the metal versions for a Gauleiter. Gold finish metal large oak leafs and eagles on a red velvet base and the collar tabs have wine red piping. These are a matched pair! So few of these exist, that the only ones I have seen over the years have been singles, never a pair. Left and right, these are in excellent condition, and only some light stains to the gold metal. One the reverse, the tabs have a single RZM tag. The metal style Gauleiter tabs were only worn by a few Gauleiters, and the one photo that shows them in wear are worn by Gauleiter Paul Wagener. I have included a photo of Wagener to show these style tabs in wear. The majority of Gauleiter tabs worn are the woven style. Extremely rare to find as a single, but even more so as a pair.
German WWII SS camo helmet in first pattern. This cover is in EXCELLENT condition! First style cover, this one is reversible from summer to fall pattern. No loops as is normal for a first pattern cover. The cover has the proper black hooks with the inner spring. There is light wear to the hooks. All stiching is in very nice shape and there is no damage to the cover, but very light wear. This cover may not have been used in the field. This cover has NEVER been in another private collection other then mine. A VERY RARE SS helmet cover and in very nice condition.
German WWII Veterans armband. This armband is made of a Black felt material, with the sewn patch in a BeVo style weave. Armband was worn by WWI Veterans. The length of the armband is 15 inches total length and is not sewn on the ends. It looks to be unissued. No damage and no mothing, very clean.
German WWII Waffen-SS General's shoulderboards. A matched pair of VERY rare Waffen-SS Gruppenfuhrer's shoulderboards (General Rank). These are an early style, with the heavy gold and silver bullion cord top with a light gray based. The shoulderboards are slip-on style, and are the larger size normally used for a General's greatcoat and the leather greatcoat. They could be used on a tunic, but are more for the greatcoat. There is no damage to the boards, and no mothing. These are very rare to find.
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 one other in a silk/cotton Blend before and that was for an 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 from 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. It's 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 buttoned, 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!

The first photo shows a tanish color, the collars are White and not stained, its the photo only.

Some very light moth tracking, but no moth holes on the cuffs. I only see one tiny moth hole on front, and some tracking here and there on the coat itself. It's really clean! Light Blue piping down the front of the tunic and a few tiny moth nips. Full Black satin liner has inner belt with Black buckle. This coat really does not look as if it was ever worn, I see no wear, no fading, no issues. Inside the inner pokcet is a Red printed tailor's tag with the man's name, number and date. The date appears to be 1913. It will be very hard to upgrade this coat!

Family photo grouping belonging to the von Loringhoven family. This is a grouping of pictures of 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 been 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 were 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 by themselves. There's his Parade brocade belt and buckle in the original box. One small end of the box is loose but included. 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 marked 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 assuming 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 Rommel's books. All are named to him inside the cover of each book. Hitlers Mein Kampf and Rosenberg's book as well. There are some other papers as well, some letters, and city information books? and many family photos.
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.

It's period done as the reverse has a page from a German magazine that's glued over the back to seal the picture to the frame. Black and White picture, you can clearly see his Waffen-SS Fez and the Croatian shield on the arm below the sleeve eagle. Waffen-SS pictures are rare by themselves, but his is unique as it's for a Croatian soldier in the SS. Size is 5.75 inches tall and 4.25 inches wide. Very nice condition. Also on the back is a very small nail for hanging.
German Baden medal. 1902 Jubilee medal. It's Bronze and has a stain on front, but this might clean off. It was an award to Badeners for Military or Civil public service. The medal was instituted in 1902 on the 50th anniversary of Grand Duke Friedrichs of Baden reign. Double sided. This is a medal complete with its original ribbon. This ribbon is often seen on WWI and WWII German Medal bars or ribbon bars.
German WWII Waffen-SS Generals unissued shoulderboard. Cannot top this one! Unissued single shoulderboard, and it's for the Waffen-SS. Generals rank, Gruppenfuhrer rank, it has Gold and Silver bullion cording to the top, the base is the light Gray for Waffen-SS troops, and has a single strap as it's a slip-on style board. The bullion cording to the top shows on one side some age toning to the cording. This can be carefully cleaned off if desired. Otherwise its unissued and close to mint. This has the toning/stain to the side as it came with a group of medals and metal insignia from a Veteran's relative. They were stored in a small box, all together. Very rare!
German WWII Drivers badge in Bronze. This is the emblem or badge that was worn on the left sleeve near the cuff and was awarded for Drivers of motor vehicles, including motorcycles during the war. This is the 3rd class version in Bronze, then there was Silver and finally Gold versions. This Bronze version is on green/gray wool oval and has the original backing plate. It appears the two hold down tabs on back were at one time soldered back onto the medal and you can see the dark spots on the front. This was period done in the field.

It has a sprung steel strip to keep it from coming off easily. It will work on breadbags as well, but verify the size you need.
German Metal end for canvas straps. This is a two piece metal stamped steel end for the Tropical and canvas straps used on all sorts of items, including canteen and mess kit straps, Rucksack straps, vehicle straps, etc. These crimp onto the end of the strap to allow it to slide into a clip or ring or buckle without catching the material. A pair of plyers is all that's needed to crimp them onto a strap. Size is 3/4 inches wide. Some straps are 1 inch. These might fit if you bunch the end a bit for the smaller end cap. I have seen it done before.

The cufftitle is in very nice condition and shows light use.
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 were worn by Klaus! There's also a fantastic crusher visor with the direct woven wreath and early eagle. The wreath is ultra-rare as it's 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 by 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 marked cap. Both crushers are well worn. But the last visor is MINT and I cannot say this enough, a MINT Artillery piped visor! I have never seen one this nice and it's 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 other 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.
A really clean WWII or Pre-war Forestry officers tunic. This one's an early style with the lower scalloped pockets. Medium Green twill wool, has darkgreen piping to the cuffs, lapels and pockets flaps. Buttons are the typical Darkgreen plastic seen on Forestry tunics. Darkgreen collar has silver wire piping, and the collar tabs are Green based, silver wire piped and have a single acorn and lower wreaths to each. Shoulderboards are sew-in style, green based with the green subduded cords and single gilt pip to each. The tunic has loops for one medal on the breast pocket. Fully lined in a light satin green and has the dagger slot as well. The tunic is in excellent condition, and shows very light use.
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. It's possible they're Hitler Youth field use, or they are German Combat Army/SS boots by a different maker. Either way they're unissued and rare! Stamped 36 on the sole, I would say a size 8.5 US, not too small. Many issue Combat boots were in this size. They have the proper hobnails, heel irons and toe irons which are maker stamped. They have late war leather shoe laces. Can't upgrade these!
German WWII Original pair of matching SS Officers shoulderboards. These are sew-in style, and are white piped for SS-Infantry. They are final based in black.
Top cords are the subduded silver. 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!
An unissued box of 180 East German Shoulderboards for the camo rainpattern uniforms. Still in the original box, 180 pairs total, all enlisted private rank and tied together, tagged inside. This is a rare find with so many in the original box!

German WWII Unissued ribbon bar ribbon. Its two ribbons together, the Iron Cross 2nd class, and the Eastern Front Medal ribbon, paired together. The strip is about 8 inches long which of course would do about ten ribbon bars!
German Pre-war SA Kepi color appears to be a Light Gray which is for the General Government in Poland. This is a very rare Kepi! It has the silver front button. Kepi shows use and wear, its not mint but has that "been there" look to it. The tan cotton twill is in good shape no damage just age use to it. there is some mothing to the Light Gray topping. Has a silver later pattern SA eagle to front and of course the silver smooth button. Brown chin cord to front as well.
The body of the cap is nice and show no damage only light use. Liner is still good has a full leather sweatbandwith no tears but shows light use. Inside top of liner has a wear mark in the middle and a faint size stamp "55". Has the normal RZM tag inside as well.

This is a pair of unissued Gau level collar tabs. Matching set with the string RZM tag still on them. These tabs were made like this for use as examples of what the tab was to be made like for the different makers in Germany. They were sample tabs. Very rare to find with the probe tag still on them and these are Gau level for a high rank of Gau Oberabschnittsleiter. RZM Standardmuster tabs.
German WWII SS officers shoulderboards. These are piped in a light blue for Transportation troops. Both are Light Blue piped and then Black piped for SS for the rank of OberSturmfuhrer. One gilt pip to each with subduded cords on top. Both have light mothing to the underneath only and are otherwise nice original boards. Sew-in style.
SA Summer officers shoulderboard. First its a wartime issue, Gray based for foot troops. Its a single, "T" end for the white summer tunic. Its in a yellow Cellon cord and in nice condition. Very rare, for Untersturmfuhrer rank. No mothing, really nice!

Both sewin boards, Black cord tops silver with black "V"s in the cording on the edge pink based. These might have had a pip on them at one time. A few light moth holes, still nice and priced cheap!
