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.

Even the buttons have the Teno logo

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

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 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

Johann found this picture of Senior RR Officials wearing them and from the same district as my Tunic ..Paris ! ...it's a great looking cap

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

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

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.

Doug

Mike - Great looking collection - must say your items are in great shape and displayed well.
Congrat's.

Thanks guys ...My room needs to be rearranged and sorted through right now . Before Kris left I was going to have him give me a hand but ..he kept picking up the "TK" Uniform and walking around with it mumbling something
I'll post some shots so you can see the room needs some , ahh ... "work" ..

Remember that TV show where they'd come to your house and clean and arrange everything?
It's pretty cramped in there ..One of these days I'll either get another room or ..sort it out

Hi Mike!

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

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,

Kris

Very impressive and a superb collection.
Just stunning !
Thanks for sharing those pics.
Tell me Mike, any Banschutzpolizei uniforms in your bunker ?

Mike,

Be careful how you answer Patrice, he will want to buy everything.

Patrice? where did you get the Liberace avatar??

I have a complete Banschutzpolizei set (from the same guy) , even the guy's overcoat ...didn't set it up yet though.
I'm glad you like the room but....if you sneeze , you knock something over ..

Mike

Nice goodies!

Like seeing others stuff!

PVON

I know ..I always enjoy seeing other collections as well ..thanks Paul

"Liberace avatar".
What an insult but still very funny.
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 - if the room gets to tight you can send the Political Leader items down to NJ , I still have a little room in the Bunker, Ill even pay the postage.
Once more Great items-
