Asking for help with KKB stamp

[Seewolf]

Hello to all,

i know now the different labels from uniforms made by the Kleiderkasse but now i have another Fregattenkapitän uniform on the way to me that ihas a KKB stamp.
It´s the first time i see this stamp and wonder now what is earlier: The stamp or the label ?
When i look at the stamp here i would say the tunic is made in 1962. Is that right?

The piston rings are 16mm and 9mm wide....what i expected.

Rüdiger,

A date of the early to mid 60s is all one can say for a KKB marked tunic. They changed their marking sometime in the 1960s but we have never been able to find even an approximate date other than what I have said earlier. The rank bands sound correct as that size was used from 1955 to 1963. The bottom set of numbers looks more like a 72/62 when you compare the first digit with others that are clearly a 1 and a 7.

Regards,

Gordon
