    Kriegsmarine summer tunic.

    Hello,

    I have not posted much on this forum but I enjoy watching al those cool uniforms and photographs!
    For more than 4 years I collect photo's, documents and awards but I wanted something special for a change.
    I'm only 17 years old and I'm not a millionaire but I was really proud when I finally bought this wonderfull uniform!

    It's a Kriegsmarine Weißer Rock Neuer Art, for a Feldwebel.
    His shoulderboards indicate that he was a Stückmeister.

    The tunic has for loops for two awards, according to the seller the Eisernes Kreuz I Klasse and the Flotten-Kriegsabzeichen.

    It has a couple of stamps in it.
    First one is "C. Steuernagel, Worms", according to the city archive of Worms this was a tailor.
    Three other stamp could indicate the measurements of the uniform, "42 104 55".
    Also, there is a label in the tunic, "Maibücher", I am not sure if this is another tailor or the last name of the person who wore this.

    The uniform has also place for a ribbon bar, which should most likely include a ribbon for the Eisernes Kreuz II Klasse.
    Between the both loops for the ribbon bar is 6 centimeters.

    Only missing is a (Gold?) metal summer tunic breast eagle, unfortunatly I have not found one of these yet.
    Furthermore I hope to purchase a Kriegsmarine necktie and blouse(? Do not really know English word for this.)

    Enjoy the pictures of the tunic!

    Greetings,

    Koen.

    Very nice uniform. I suggest you try to to steady the camera on a table, anything, and experiment with the flash and without the flash. This should make the images much clearer.

    I will let this thread stay here for a few days then move it to the uniform subforum.

    Thanks for posting it. John

        Thanks for the advice, I am new with my camera and most of the time it makes the photo to dark, but now a bit too bright.
        And sorry for posting it in the wrong forum.

        Greetings,

        Koen.

            Hello,

            I am very sorry for bringing this topic back to the top again.
            I have a bit of a problem with this tunic, due to the fact that my father is dying I have to sell a large part of my collection, to support my mother.
            So I am also going to sell this uniform, unfortunatly I don't remember the price very well, and I don't want to overprice it, even though I need the money.
            Is there someone who could putt a reasonable price on it?
            I see other Kriegsmarine white tunics being sold for around $800 but I don't think my tunic is worth that much.
            Could someone please help me?

            With kind regards,

            Koen
