Well, as you can see, this is not a Third Reich era tunic, but a tunic for a Major General of the Bundeswehr. This tunic is made in a very fine quality wool. It has beautifully toned old bullion embroidery on the collar tabs. On the left shoulder is a patch which two of the forum members were able to identify as the headquarters of the 11th Panzer Grenadier Division. The buttons are toned gilt, marked with the Assman logo and the designation "Extra Fein". Underneath the right shoulder strap is a button for an aguliette. I was hoping someone might have some knowledge or information on Bundeswehr uniforms. I'm trying to determine if this style of tunic is still worn (no breast pockets, two lower slash pockets), and the circumstances under which it is or was worn. Is it a service dress tunic, a walking out tunic, or what? Additionally, I'd like to try and find out if the Bundeswehr Generals wore aguilettes in gold or were they silver? If anyone has any information I'd be grateful. Thanks!...............
