      steve,

      UNAG (Uniform-Aktiengesellschaft, Frankfurt am Main) was a second World War operation.

      The numbers appear to be consistent with stamps from the Frankfurt depot.

      Also I've seen legit size markings with no date.

      There was a book published showing this firm.I wonder if any forum members have a copy:

      Uniformen am laufenden Band, Ein Bericht aus der Rhein-Mainischen Industrie, Hauserpresse, Hans Schaefer, Frankfurt, no date (1936) Square quarto with text by Paul G. Ehrhardt and many gravure illustrations after photos by Dr. Paul Wolff & Tritschler of the process of making uniforms. The company depicted is UNAG (Uniform-Aktiengesellschaft, Frankfurt am Main), and most of the images are moderate close-ups of the manufacturing process. Propaganda is present in the text as the date would imply, but there are no overt Nazi images. Two later publications of similar nature are included in this bibliography: Arbeit für die Wehrmacht, 1941, and Uniformen und Soldaten, 1942, although these depict a different firm.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o></o>


      hope this helps. Jim

              Here are the markings in the great coat. The wrapper is on a manniquin with all the gear and is hard to get at as it is behind a MG 42 display.(if you saw my room you would no what I mean ) I will post it when I change displays.

                Thanks!

                Do you know if the wrapper is dated?
                I was wondering if the wrapper is the same as these markings.

                Those look close to me.

                  Hi Steve,

                  From what I remember they look the same as yours with a 44 at the bottom.

                    Thanks again!

                    I think the markings are OK, just trying to figure out why the date was left off. But I do not think that is a bad point. Maybe an oversight?
                    Anyone else have anything withthese markings?
                    I would like to see the wrapper markings, when you can.
                    Thanks Steve
