Schuma Cloth • Uniforms • Schuma Items

SCHUMA Cloth Items fill a kind of mystical niche for me. They are just beautiful & artistic.

My understanding of the Schuma Organization, is that they were essentially Non-Germanic Members serving the Sipo/SD - Polizei in occupied areas (outside of Germany). Primarily in the Baltics and Ukraine. (They filled the manpower void in these areas.) There were German Officers in the ultimate control - but did they wear SCHUMA Cloth? Don't know. The Cloth Items are nothing short of exquisite, with fine machine embroidery & colors. The SCHUMA Motto of
"Faithfullness, Bravery & Obedience" is found on the Patches.

I got lucky early on in collecting and found 2 sets of Shoulder Boards & 3 Patches.

luger marking

I have a luger with a proof mark that I cannot find anywhere. I think it may be a post war east german mark. It is on a 1914 erfurt. the mark is on the left receiver. it is an "N" on its side over a shield like a tri color helmet decal. inside the shield there is a symbol very much like an infinity sign over which is crossed a pick like symbol. I have looked in constanza's book and in lugers at random. Can anyone help? Sorry, I can't add pictures cuz ain't smart enough to know how to do. Sambo
