The old Suter's uniforms & stuff

[Dave Suter]

I'm kind of partial to this uniform - it was my first one.

[Dave Suter]

I like this waffenrock because, although the owner was a Master Sergeant, it is an issue piece rather that the private purchase ones usually found for senior NCOs.

[Dave Suter]

These last two are for 'der Spiess' (the 1st Sergeant) of the 10th Medical Detachment. Hard to see the cornflower blue piping in the photo.

[Dave Suter]

This one shows the waffenfarbe a little better, along with the extra tress ring. The tunic also has a horizontal pocket for the First Shirt's report book.

[Dave Suter]

This one is interesting in that it has removeable shoulder boards on a 4-pocket. It was done but wasn't too common. (Wonder if the guy thought he was going to make general and wanted to be ready?)

[Dave Suter]

Nothing rare here - just a nice clean dress tunic for a paymaster.

[Dave Suter]

A Sonderfuhrer's field blouse. To be totally correct, the breast eagle should be on grey, but most were done like this one.

[Dave Suter]

Here's the only army one I have with an officer's breast eagle on something other than dark green.

[Dave Suter]

Paymaster captain.

[Dave Suter]

For a Kavallerie Unteroffizier (Cavalry Corporal) of the Wehrkreis X Remonteschule (Military Area X Remounting School). The tunic is stamped inside to that unit. Wehrkreis X is Hamburg. There is a tailor's label from the town of Lüneburg, which is about 20 miles SSE of Hamburg. Also have the pants for this one.

[Dave Suter]

Signals LTC.

[Dave Suter]

Sure wish I had a name on this one. There's a tailor's label for Kuhn & Nupnau in München (Munich), but the label with the name is long gone.

[Dave Suter]

For an Unteroffizier (Corporal) in Infanterie-Regiment 19 (19th Infantry Regiment). This is an Ausgehrock für Unteroffiziere und Mannschaften (Walking-out Tunic for NCOs and Privates). This is an old style tunic that's a carry-over from the Reichswehr. It differed from the old style service tunic in that it doesn’t have belt hooks and has the dress-type collar tabs. It was allowed to be worn until 31 March 1941. The 19th Infantry Regiment was a part of the 7th Infantry Division. It’s home base was Munich (Wehrkreis VII). Fought in South Poland and against the BEF in Belgium. Fought in central Russia and took part in the Battle of Kursk.

[Dave Suter]

For a Gefreiter (Lance Corporal) who is also an Unteroffizieranwärter (NCO Candidate) in Kavallerie-Regiment 4 (4th Cavalry Regiment). This is my other walking-out tunic.
