Here are 2 recent finds : a NCO and an EM parade tunic from the Wach Rgt Engels.
The troops tunic is dated 1982 the same year the Rgt was created. And the NCO one is dated from 1987. The interesting thing is inside : there is no fabric strap and metalic ring inside the tunic to attach the dagger. instead, two elastic straps sown on both sides (see picture) ... they ,are sown all the way through the tunic and the stitching can be seen outside the tunic ; these are, from what I know, meant to be buttonned up to the parade trousers.
