Here is the Type X Harness used by OSS/SOE Personnel during the UNION II Mission Reported to be the worn by USMC SERGEANT PERRY, history only Verbal as to belonging to him but definitely one used on this mission (confirmed) Putting together a display for this Group I noticed there are TWO additional straps and not sure how they were used any help would be Greatly appreciated One has the same RED Center stitching as the Harness and the other has Blue Center stitching (used two harness loops) Are they possibly Riser extensions for the DROP CANISTER Do they attach to the harness Risers with a handle below, one on each side ??? or simply a strap to attach personnel equipment to hang below harness ???    

Here is an example of an original Stasi Wach-Reg. uniform with cuff title.    

A nice collection of Soviet items.  

I think it was painted post war, I've never seen one painted any color, but I could be wrong, can you show the whole helmet?                           Thanks,Bill

I sold my NVA collection and literature many years ago so I don´t know if your cuff title is an original. But it looks like the border is missing, could it be an incomplete or a manufacturing error piece?

Great display representing an important piece of history, well done!

Picked these up when I was stationed in West Berlin in 1988-1990. Note that I've been told on another forum that the sleeve cuff is fake, but not 100% sure of that. I say that because I got it at the Berlin Wall right after it "fell." Why would it have been fake at that point? 

Picked these three Vostok watches up when I was stationed in West Berlin, 1988-1990.
