my ddr items

here's some extra pictures of the rear of the display ,i know the nbc kit was never fitted on the y straps but i have done it purely for display purposes as also the fitting of the folding entrenching tool , i believe this may be utv going by the colour of the straps also here's some extra pictures of that km mpi  thanks tc

I am really jealous,

Beautiful     

I'll say it again... Strichtarn is boring as Hell when you look at an individual piece. But when you put it all together... wow, what a difference

What boots are you using for your display?

Steve

Absolutely outstanding display / collection Thunderchild, very impressed with it all           

thank you gentlemen for the kind words ,i agree steve the strichtarn items on there own dont get much interest ,i had all this field equiptment so i thought what better way to put it all together than in one display ,im really pleased,your right the boots let it down but maybe in time i will pick up the correct boots ,i know the soldiers never bloused there trouser in the field but only on parades so most of the boot is hidden anyway ,thanks again TC

well a little update ,ive been told by a former nva soldier of this time period that the nbc suit was fitted high up over the zelt using the top D rings of which there are 2 pairs ,then simply held in place by two corded plastic toggles ,as i see it these could be pulled , if need be quickly dropping the suit ,also i was told the entrenching tool was worn on the right side and the bottle the left ,so here's the ammended rear of the display

I just realize, your jacket is from 1967, nice specimen. It is crying for a pair of field shoulder boards.
 

well spotted jose ,yes the jacket and trousers both from this time period ,what shoulder boards should i look out for please ,thanks TC

If NVA marked, you can see here a good example:

The shoulder board should be subdued

many thanks for the link jose ,is there much of a following for ddr militaria in spain , here's the date stamp in the jacket its on a K stamp  ,and this paper work was in the pocket ,thanks TC

Jajaja, we are not so many, but very enthusiast!
I am surprised, 1966, I thought the 1966 model has buttons in the outside of the collar, for the hood, interesting. Can you show the cuffs? It has a distintive pattern.

True.
We need a few pictures of that jacket, if you do not mind.
Is to publish in an article we're doing on the strichtarn for the blog.
They indicate who the owner of the jacket.

thanks for your interest guys ,here's those pictures

Thank you very much for the photos, some inclure on the blog, when you and I communicate.   

not a problem carlos ,glad to be of help ,so at 1966 is this one of the earliest strichtarn bdu's

Thanks James.
To be sure your jacket was the second model used.

thanks carlos ,when you say second model do you mean the first type after the blumentarn or was there an earlier pattern strichtarn than mine , another addition ,i realised my e tool cover was in the latter utv style so picked up an earlier example in keeping with the 70/80's theme

Correct James, sheath blade right for 80 years, there is another model that is leather, used since the 60s (NOT know exactly) to first 80.
