Model 36 Tunic from Reitz?

[Heat242]

Hello, I checked the whole internet about Reitz Uniformwerke, but there is not any date when they started to produce tunics for the Wehrmacht asf.

I received an M36 jacket, this one is stamped as follows:


Reitz
43 45
108
71 62

H.39

Reitz could not produced german tunic before 10 mai 1940.
Waiting Werner or Vincent,they can help you better.

That would be a jacket made by the Reitz Wüppertal plant.
Make sure to check Werner's site:

Production at the Merksem plant of Reitz must have started in late 1940, somewhere around October/ November.

Its from the German Reitz factory --- Not the one in Belgium which is marked differently.

OK, When I understand the jacket is made by German Reitz, not at all in Belgium.
I allready checked the site about Merksum asf, but the jacket I have is stamped Reitz and not E.Reitz, I knew it is an original jacket but than the condition is almost mint, and than the doubts come. I know for meself that the Reitz Belgium not made those in 1939, but I did not know for 100%.
Thank you all for the reactions.

Regards Heat

Reitz started making uniforms in Germany from 1933 on.
They had several plants of which Wüppertal was the head office.

Show me some pictures and I can tell more
