White Recruit Waffenrock

[LDR]

Just got hold of two recruit waffenrock. The first up is a white piped one. This has field grey shoulder boards, but they dont appear to have been re-attached post war. Blacklights fine, and no signs of re-sewing. This one also came with the vet bring back certificate, so i dont think this could have been tampered with. The certificate states 'German Dress Blouse'.
Also has numerous stampings inside. Perhaps someone might know what they all mean?
Hope you like it, and welcome opinions. Thanks

Stamp in inside pocket. Looks like 301 with some ink before it. Could this be the acceptance stamp with regiment number?

Stamp inside centre of back, says 159. Any ideas?

Stamp in right skirt pocket. Looks like it says 'GAULEN'..again any clues?

Finally, the certificate:

"Recruit"?

Technically-speaking...this is not a "recruit" Waffenrock (as in someone that recently joined the army), but is the uniform of an infantry Obergefreiter or senior corporal.

The orange-piped Waffenrock you posted in the other thread is usually referred to as a "recruiter" Waffenrock...the person who finds the recruit!

Both are very nice Waffenrocks. Congratulations!
