I have several of these ornamented tunics, but this one is a very nice specimen that finally arrived in the mail. The wool quality and shade, a darker grey-green fine gaberdine, just outshines any other tunic I own or have owned. The piping in jaeger-green, and matches perfectly on tabs, boards, and front piping. The eagle is a finely-sewn officers type, and apprears original to the tunic - not common for a tunic coming from Germany.
The cut is a standard "rock" configuration in the back, with reduced-size breast pockets and a large two-hook standing collar. Officer-type turnback cuffs and a sidearm slit under the pocket show this to be a senior NCO tunic. The liner is unnamed with no visible markings or tailor tags, but the hand-finished quality is superior - it even has armpit patented "sweat shields" and extra material shields.
The insignia is unmothed and bright, with settling into the fabric all around. The boards have the metal pre-war type unit buttons and cyphers, and have a bottlegreen underside that matches the collar.
I bought it from the son, who had no interest in it - even though he had the same name as his father and gave me his four-year service medal and promotion warrant to Feldwebel, along with his garrison ID in a leather holder and a pass with embossed SA embelishments.
I'm really happy with this tunic, and welcome any commenst (good or bad).
regards, Robert
