Bundesmarine tunic

[Seewolf]

As a navy collector i was finally able to add a IMO early to mid 60s Bundesmarine uniform with the rank Fregattenkapitän. Tunic and trousers are marked "KKB Koblenz" and the rings at the arms are the versions with 9mm and 16mm. There are loops attached for a ribbon bar and the colour is a dark blue.
Sorry for some bad makro shots but it´s all visible....my digicam is really bad and seems to be some water on the lens

Opinions to this uniform are welcome....

The last pics show how all will look later when i finally have the space to complete that display....ribbon bar is from Georg Pinkepank

Seewolf,

Great uniform. Extra special to hve his 57 RK to go with the other medals.
I think that you are correct about the time frame for this particular uniform.

Regards,

Gordon

Very nice Marine offizier's uniform! That particular rank configuration for Fregattenkapitän (16-16-9-16) was used from 1963-1972.

Thanks for your comments, friends. Much appreciated

Today i received the last missing medal bar and could finally complete the tunic with all awards.
The matching ribbon bar i have in a display as there were never the original medals worn in combination with the ribbon bar.
He was awarded the Bundesverdienstkreuz am Bande when he left the Bundeswehr so he never wore it.

I hope you enjoy my little Fregattenkapitän der Bundesmarine

So here´s Georg Pinkepank --> Ready for Parade
