Thanks Rick,

That was the one I was wanting to see.



This thread is fairly complete thanks to all the contributors.
I think it will now serve as a very educational tool to all membership from this juncture going forward.

Well done DDR Forum membership.

One closing remark.....Rick, that is one sexy tunic

[Rev462]

Just when you though this thread was finished, here comes another one!

This is a double-breasted walking out tunic for a career NCO. It is custom made so there are no issue markings, but judging by the 1st pattern, 2-piece collar tabs & cuff bars (silver litzen stitched onto a wool base) and the career chevron, I'd say this tunic dates to circa 1964-66.

This tunic shows that special insignia, such as Hauptfeldwebel cuff tresse & career (or non-career) chevrons, was worn on the double breasted tunic as well as the 4 pocket service and parade tunics.
