This has to be one of the most attractive Third Reich tunics. I miss this one, but would never have found the visor hat.

The Speer material is wonderful and rare. My only Transport Speer set is a well used tropical tunic and trousers for an enlisted man. I purchased it from the family of the US soldier who killed the man who wore the set. He stripped it off his body, washed it many times, and sent it home.

BOB-
START A THREAD ON YOUR TUNIC. THERE ARE SO MANY VARIATIONS IN THE SPEER UNIFORMS. IT WILL BE EDUCATIONAL FOR ALL OF US.

THE POCKETS ARE THE STANDARD DOUBLE PLEAT FOUND ON THE MAJORITY OF GERMAN UNIFORMS.

Its interesting that the "SP" collar tabs appear to be enlisted pattern (metal as opposed to bullion with silver tab piping), but it was used on officer's tunics, as shown in Angolia's NSKK book! Is the Speer breast eagle a modified NSKK sleeve eagle with scroll removed? or is it a unique Speer design? It appears to be the latter!
I guess both were used... as well as Heer eagles depending on assignment, right? Also the tunic is in an olive-brown color with dark brown collar; does that make it an early transitional "NSKK-Todt-Speer" tunic? (or transportkorps Speer TKS is what you're describing it at...) as later "NSKK-Speer" uniforms were in WH field grey,with bottle green collars, (or LW blue-grey) right? Nick
