Gauleiter's Coat

[Jon. H]

Hello Guys,

Here's a nice coat i just got. Not yet identified by working on it. Armband was removed and replaced by a volksturm armband by the Gauleiter at the end of the war.

From all the Gauleiter tunic's i have seen, i have never seen another coat.

Thanks Jon-Olav,

Nice original PL Mantel , but IMO are the collar tabs not period sewn on the collar.

Don't think a "Gauleiter" is wearing an EM/NCO quality overcoat

In everage are this men wearing high quality tailor made uniforms.

Are the "Gauleiter" tabs originals ? could be ! I don't know, let's read about that from other PL experts.

Thank you Pascal !

Personally i believe this piece is untouched. A friend of mine owns Gauleiter Joseph Grohé's tunic, and that one is just a standard NSDAP tunic, no tailor tag or some fancy quality. And that one came straight out the veterans family right after the war.

Tabs are looking pretty good on my screen, Jeff Clark would know.

I think its FINE.Not all high ranking officers were wealthy.Many NCO or issued material to high officers during TR period,not unusual.

Tabs are real

Do you have the Volksturm armband that went it? If so, I would restore it to the jacket- there are a few pics of Gauleiters and other high ranking Party Officials fighting with the Volksturm in the final days of the defence of the Reich...
