opinion need on female tunic

[myddrcaps]

Found this on eBay. Need your thoughts on the Double Silver Chevrons, do they belong on a female uniform jacket from the late 1960's? Every thing on this jacket looks ok to me, I'm not 100% sure on the chevrons? Thanks

Would add also the Cuff Bars to the Nono. Never saw this. Ask for the Date Code in the Stamp.

Cuff bars were used for female walking-out and parade uniforms... I believe there is at least one picture in Kuebke & Kunz' book, though i'd have to check out exactly on what page.

The image is from the DV-10/5 BEKLEIDUNGSVORSCHRIFT DER NVA 1965 showing the cuff bars. I did a search and found this thread about the chevrons http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...sunteroffizier post#18 has the answer

(I need to learn to use the 'search' more often ) From what I have read this tunic looks like a good female Grenztruppen der DDR to me, and it has a cloth ribbon bar. All the parts seem to match up to the time period but whether or not all the parts are original to the jacket is another story. I'm starting to think uniform collecting has a lot in common with Lego building blocks

OK, learned something new.

This photo came out of a NVA Coffe Table Book. The tunics look to be the 3 button style though.

Thanks! Never seen one until now

Received it in the mail today, this is probably the most interesting female jacket I have so far

From what I understand, the jackets with three buttons and no pockets are from 1965 to 1976-ish.
