The Grey uniform is prohibited:
1. (as) Evening Attire (going out, dating)
2. While visiting any saloons or other public places
3. During sport tournaments or equestrian competitions/shows.


One SS (Schutzstaffel) epaulet is carried to/on the grey uniform.
The delivery of the grey apparel will only occur (via SS administrative office) after payment. It is not possible to acquire such asset (temporarily) on loan or to get it for free.

Very useful, thank you

One SS (Schutzstaffel) epaulet is carried to/on the grey uniform.

I prefer "On the grey uniform, one SS epaulet will be worn."

[Stiltzkin]

I prefer "On the grey uniform, one SS epaulet will be worn."

Except that "will future" describes an event that may occur and which you may not be able to influence, hence it must be translated more freely. Indikativ, Präsens form. So one epaulet "is" worn, basically "you wear one epaulet to the uniform".

[jbaum]

Yes, you are correct. I should have used "shall" instead of "will".

And though the text doesn´t say "after payment" but "against payment". It´s "gegen Bezahlung" and not "nach [der] Bezahlung".
Neither does the text mention " sport tournaments" nor " equestrian [...] shows" but "sport events" and "equestrian competitions". I think this wording fits better than the English "horse show" as the "show" is missing the important competition. But I´m not a English native speaker. [ But how do they know it´s only a show for entertainment or a competition like a F1-race with "horse show"?]

A horse show in the US is also a horse competition.
