Title Wehrmacht officer's chin cord (not Kriegsmarine)
Nationality German
Period 1938-45
Sold

This spun aluminium cord would have been used primarily for the caps of the Army, Waffen SS, Luftwaffe and Police on the peaked service cap which replaced the old Weimar type. In addition, it was also worn by state officials, Red Cross and Ostministerium, NSKK and HJ personnel, always indicative of officer status.

It measures approximately 30 cm and has seen very little use. The internal supports of both slides are of red plastic.

The 3 medals have just arrived safely - very interesting. (From your description I was expecting ribbon to be dreadful; personally, I think that the "Russian Front" is beautifully 'aged'.)

The bayonet arrived safe and sound this morning. It is absolutely magnificent. I am thrilled to bits with it. Thanks for all the interest you have shown.

My very best wishes, and thank you, very sincerely, once again.
