What do I have here?

[Jeff Mack]

Hello all,
I'm going through my collection trying to make room for new additions, and I came across this tunic that I've had for a few years. Does anyone know what it is? The GT Aviation tabs and Cpt boards are one thing, but what type of tunic is it? It's not a field tunic and the number of buttons are wrong for a Gesellschaftsanzug. The BIG thing is the tunic color! It's a gray and NOT a light green. Inside is a tag for UG48, so it's from the DDR. Any clairification would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the replys. Item was sold, so I'm removing the link
to the pictures.

Jeff,

Your jacket appears to be a Volkspolizei Ausgangsjacke with incorrect insignia. Is it marked "MdI" in the interior lining or inside the interior breast pocket?

[Jeff Mack]

Yes, it is marked as follows:

MDI ug40
03203 Ic

Also a red B in marker above the MDI

All located inside the inside pocket. Glad I did not pay much for it! I suppose I'll salvage the tabs/boards and try my luck on eBay! Thanks for the information.

Jeff,

The green shoulder boards are OK for your Volkspolizei Ausgangsjacke. All you need are a new set of standard VP officer collar tabs (attached correctly as these are sewn on backwards) to make it correct. If you don't want it, I will take it off your hands and you can keep the collar tabs.
