    Pockets missing on my tunic?

    I recently bought this tunic quit cheap. Unfortunately it is missing all its pockets. My plan is to restore the tunic. I don’t know the correct type of pockets for this particular tunic. Inside the tunic there is a Reichsbetreiebs number 0/0675/0249. Plus all the size numbers and F43 at the bottom.
    The tunics overall condition is good. I’m quit new to this wonderful forum so I’m unsure if the numbers in the tunic is right for my tunics design 1942/1943?. If I compare my question to a metaphor I would compare it with a car produced in 1998 but sold as a 1996 model. Which doors should I order for my car?
    Which pockets fit this tunic? The stitch marks are all there on the inside. Please look.










    Thanks Claus - Dänemark

    Could have been either scalloped or straight pocket flaps,impossible to say which type.

      Glenn I am for straight pocket flaps, a M43 in my opinion.

        Could very well be Luca,but I have seen 42,43 and 44 dated jackets with scalloped pocket flaps (using earlier factory patterns).

        I can only ever remember seeing straight pocket flaps on 43,44 dated jackets but I am certain straight flaps started being used later in 42.

              the number

              According to this web:

              http://www.uniformsandtraditions.com...potstamps.html

              The RBN'r 0/0675/0249 is from the Erfurt plant? The F43 stamp is Frankfurt!
              I'm confused

              Thanks for the replys'

                Frankfurt is the Army Depot not the factory, The letter date stamps are the depots and year the tunic was recieved there prior to being issued.

                  Okay- I'm no longer confused

                  If you look at the http://www.uniformsandtraditions.com again you see that the RBNr on my tunic is listed as a 1944 Feldblouse but mine went to depot in 1943?

                  (0/0675/0249 (E44) Feldblouse M44)

                  What is going on here? Was the RBNr used throughout the whole war or only in a specific year or time span?

                  Cheers Claus

                    Read the website more carefully for answers to both questions, that RBN was observed on an 1944 Feldblouse, other uniforms were made, it does not mean all items with that RBN should be M44s.

                        No worries the only stupid are the ones that are never asked. That is a good webpage and useful. It is easy to overlook things

                            Is interesting to see that the eagle was factory sewn through the liner, very common during last years of the war.
