I am proud to have finally bought a nice Musician's uniform. I can hardly wait until it arrives!

I would love to see any musician items that may reside in your collections!

Isn't that a stunner! Never seen one of those before, in colour at any rate. The original wearer obviously had it made in Belgium.

Thanks Paddy! This is only the second Band Master uniform I have seen for an officer. I read the section dedicated to Musicians in Vol 3 of Angolia's series. They seem to have been very few of these officers, who were educated Musicians (Maybe less that 50 ?). Later in the war, the bands(except one) were disbanded and distributed within the Luftwaffe as needed to help fill man power shortages.

I really enjoy theater made (yet legit) uniforms. I like the dark colored material used. The workmanship is excellent!
