Everything Zoll (1933-1945)

[Kripo73]

Ok fellow members, let's put it all in one place. Everything and anything on this underserved topic. Even if you have posted it before. Let's do it again and get it all under one roof. I'll start with a mannequin I recently put together.

It has been brought to my attention that my intended scope of this thread may not be as obvious as I assumed it was. Please feel free to contribute "All Things Zoll" meaning, anything that has nexus to the Nazi Zoll, (ie. Grenzpolizei, Polizei attached to frontier outposts controlled by the RFV, weapons used by aformentioned, even immediate post war Zoll if uniforms and equipment were recycled from the NS period, etc.). Hopefully we can breath some new life into this old yet interesting topic, start some good conversations, and build a consolidated reference.

Wasserzoll or VGAD Küste?

Thank you Larry! That would be my guess also by the look of those buttons. Perhaps another member with more experience on this topic can help.

Here is a stormy looking picture. The developing creates a mood. It’s actually storming here tonight. Apropos.

Here’s a mannequin that the visor and a Dienstauweis came with as an original package. This grouping came from a WAF member in France.

Dear all,

I just bought an old collection (with many smaller items) and there were also various ie. 9 (genuine) ID-discs of the Zollgrenzschutz....they are respectively stamped:

Zollgrenzschutz Hamburg (zinc)

Zollgrenzschutz Paris (zinc)

Zollgrenzschutz Wien (zinc)

Zollgrenzschutz Troppau (zinc)

Zollgrenzschutz Königsberg Pr. (zinc)

Zollgrenzschutz Saarbrücken (zinc)

Zollgrenzschutz Bremen (zinc)

Zollgrenzschutz Danzig (zinc)

Zollgrenzschutz Kiel (zinc)


I am pretty sure these are quite rare and it surely took the collector quite some time to get these together. I did not place them on the web-site because I wanted to keep this unusual collection together.

Best regards,


Coco

Coco,

Great contribution! I especially like the Danzig and Königsberger tags. To me they are special as these famous cities with storied history do not exist as they once did. Great find!

Regards
