Dave:

Is it possible to see some close-ups of the tunic referenced in Post 303? thanks,

Dylan

[Dave Suter]

Dylan,

This is the important stuff. Any other part in particular you want to see a photo of? (FYI, I also have the pants - unpiped and, like the tunic, well worn.)

Dave:


That is exactly what I was looking for. A beautiful and rare tunic. Thanks so much for the quick response, and great pictures. Do you have any info on how many individuals served in this occupation department? And, if you dont mind, how and where (as in private collector, dealer, vet, purchase - Europe, America, etc.) did you acquire this tunic? Ive looked for these tunics and this is the first ive ever seen. Thanks Again,

Dylan

I picked the set up about 3 years ago from a dealer in England. Fellow's name is Bob Tredwin. It was for sale (drum foll, please) on eBay.

I'm not sure how many folks served in that particular branch, but not a lot. As I'm sure you know, these guys served as administration officials in the occupied territories. Most of the officials had the HV devices on the boards. This is kind of a sub-branch. In 20 years of collecting the only other stuff from this branch I've picked up are a set of tabs & boards just like on this tunic and a single board for a captain.

[Dave Suter]

Enlisted artillerie HBT strap.

[Dave Suter]

For an enlisted man in Artillerieregiment 6. Probably from an issue Waffenrock.

[Dave Suter]

Unteroffizier from Artillerieregiment 77.

[Dave Suter]

Higher quality Waffenrock strap.

[Dave Suter]

The guy probably went out and ordered the Waffenrock this came off of the day he made corporal.

[Dave Suter]

Wish I had everything that went with this one...

[Dave Suter]

And in this case, I do. Still nicely attached to the Waffenrock, thank you.

[Dave Suter]

From the Waffenrock of an Oberfeldwebel of Artillerieregiment 5. Notice the Weimar-pattern tress.
