Lot no. 53
Ultra rare WWII Nazi German Waffen-SS Tropical Uniform, first pattern tropical Pith helmet. Unique set in excellent unused condition. Used in writing the book (Afrikakorps: Tropical uniforms of the German Army 1940-1945 Bastien Yves, Scipion Jacques, Histoire and Collections, 2007) as an example of Waffen-SS Tropical Uniform. The set consists of a tunic, pants, Pith helmet and Waffen-SS Tropical Boots. Tropical Tunic made from lightweight olive drab cotton fabric suitable for hot conditions. Features two front pockets fastened with original buttons. Matching olive drab cotton trousers tailored for comfort and mobility. Adjustable waist straps for a custom fit. Waffen-SS, tropical Pith helmet, first pattern. First pattern tropical pith helmet, with a formed, cork core covered in a ribbed, tan cotton twill. The helmet features a six panel, vertically seamed, tan cotton twill crown with a horizontal band stitched at the rear centre at the juncture of the crown and the all around visor. The helmet has two stamped alloy shields with an SS ruin to the left side and a national Swastika shield to the right side. The SS shield features a high relief, embossed, SS ruins. The Nazi flag shield features the colours of red, white, and black on a slightly textured background field. Waffen-SS Tropical Boots patterned after the more conventional jackboot, with canvas replacing leather as the primary construction material. The top, front and back of the boot are reinforced with long sections of brown leather, which double as a joint for the left and right sides of the canvas body, with additional reinforcement at the toe and heel. A pair of bootstraps are positioned on the interior, with a stamp on the leather reinforcement reading "VA103/41 SS" on each boot. Tropical uniforms were first issued to Army personnel serving in North Africa. When the Waffen-SS served in areas with warmer climates, its personnel were not allowed to wear Army issued tropical garments. Eventually, the SS its own tropical uniforms to personnel stationed in the western desert, Italy, Greece, and in the Caucasus. Such uniform sets almost never appear on the market and are a coveted artifact not only for collectors but also for museums. Provenance: Private collection in the South of France. The set is published in the book Afrikakorps: Tropical uniforms of the German Army 1940-1945 Bastien Yves, Scipion Jacques, Histoire and Collections, 2007 (book included with the lot) Excellent condition.
