Info and help needed on this KM uniform 'jacket'

[Nico C]

Hello,


I have had this uniform part for some years now, together with a nco KM dress jacket. I tried to find it on some dealersites, but i didn't find it.
So, maybe someone overhere can help me out.
I want to put them both for sale on the e-stand, but I have no idea what it is called and how much it is worth.

So, what is it called and what is it worth?

Thanks in advance.

best regards,

Nico

Some opinions, anyone?

Looks like either a vest for the enlisted walking out "mess" jacket or the officer's evening jacket. Looks OK to me.

Thanks, Leroy.
Any idea what it is worth nowadays?

Hi Nico, looks OK also for me, typical 6 buttons officer vest. You can find them for arround 100-150 euros.

Leroy, the EM didn't use any vest with the waking out or any other uniform, so IMO this is not for an EM.

The vest used with the officer mess dress uniform is with only 4 buttons, and these with 6 buttons were used with the frock coats and the reefer jackets while these were worn open, and as this was not made in the end of the 30's this garment was omitted from the regulations in 1938-40.

Eduardo,
Thanks for the correction! I thought I had seen either photos of NCO's wearing these or at least uniform groupings from NCO's in which these were included.

Leroy, for a senior NCO is possible as they worn also the reefer jackect, but not for EM.

I've put it on the e-stand


Best regards,
