Turkistan Legion Oberleutnant.

Greetings all.
This Turkistan legion officer's tunic had been in the collections of two respected members our forum and was discussed several times.

(http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...ad.php?t=91201 and

Now It sits in my collection and I wanted to post better pictures for public view.

Congratulations

It look like one of a kind tunic. I just can't believe that Glenn let this beauty slip away. It is very rare tunic.

I agree! This is a beautiful tunic!!

What are the holes in the EK ribbon? Was this officer an Honor Role awardee?

Juan and Paul
Thanks for your kind comments regarding this tunic, it is now the centerpiece of my WH uniform collection

It seems that he was also a recipient of Ehrenblattspange or Roll of honor clasp(note the holes on the EKII ribbon), so there is a chance to track down the original owner.

kind regards

Nice looking jacket... I sold off (I traded this one to Bruce) a half dozen or so officers tunics in the last year. Want to concentrate more on the "other ranks" stuff.


Glad it found a good home.

Great tunic! I have only seen one other and I believe Bruce Herman had it not long ago. In fact I was about to pull the trigger on it a couple of times and every time I was about to buy it something else I was looking for popped up. I regret not grabbing it. There surely can’t be too many out there.

Glenn/ Many thanks to letting me have chance to own this beauty !!!

NTZ/ Yes, It came through Bruce. I passed on it at first glance. But after a couple of days, I realized that I was wrong and pulled the trigger, just in time.....

[NTZ]

Ok then I have only seen one. Well if I didn't get cought up on a few visor deals that baby might have been mine, lol.

[nakta]

I was not engaged in any deal by that time, so I could grab it quickly. It could have been yours, who knows....
