Grossdeutschland dress tunic

[pep]

What’s your opinion on this beauty???
Seems correct to me … just cuffband appears to be not well placed as expected for a dress tunic. perhaps it's just the photo!
I like combat tunics but this one will be the only one dress would own. Surelly its price is over the clouds.

Would need a good hands on i should think.

A very rare and desirable piece, which if you had the right bits, and a good tailor could easily be 'made' from a normal infantry wafffenrock.

No doubt its very expensive!

[all1knew]

were Waffenrock tunics like this ever even worn?

produced but never on general issue......I am sure this waffenrock has been discussed on here before

[Johnny R]

These are all real. I have four of them and like to wear them gardening . This is an issue tunic from a factory. Are there stamps? These were produced and are very rare. It was a prototype and probably less than 50 were made during the period and probably about 200 since 1980. Post pictures of the stamps is you can.

"if you had the right bits, and a good tailor could easily be 'made' from a normal infantry wafffenrock."

yup

[Bill D.]

I cannot comment on THIS specific waffenrock.

However, I will note that those of us who have been wandering around this hobby for a few decades can recall when these GD rocks appeared about 25-30 years ago. As I recall, a number of them had been found in storage, where they had been placed after the introductory ceremonies for the uniform, a uniform that was never later produced.

At the time no one was interested in them precisely because they were prototype uniforms that were never really "official" German army uniforms.

well so far i know since years winkler make some exotic items from parts.
