    M36: Heer Infantry Majors Tunic - My First

    Hello:
    <O
    After toying around with the idea of buying a tunic for several years, I finally broke down and did it. After arming myself with some knowledge I set my sights on an M36 and here it is after six months on a lay-away plan.

    The tunic has the typical dark green collar; plain deep turned back cuffs, patched and pleated pockets with three point flaps and 8 loops for awards. The tunic shows limited wear with 2 small holes and is virtually free of any stains. The last button shows heavy signs of wear probably from his belt rubbing on it. The inside of the tunic is lined and has no tags, markings or stamps. Its size is approximately a 34-38 regular U.S. or 44-48 European. The swastika on the breast eagle is interesting to note; instead of it being embroidered like the rest of the eagle it seems to be made out of light weight metal. The tunic came with the EK2 ribbon sewn in place which has a slight stain. The other awards on the tunic are ones that I had previously acquired.

    I would like to thank our very own Mark Holden for assisting me with this tunic back in September 2003, and wish him the best on his deployment to Iraq.

        Awards

        The loops above the left breast pocket I think were for a CCC because of their size but since I didn't have one I thought I would use a ribbon bar instead. The EK1 is unmarked but has the characteristics of a war-time Souval (L22); the IAB is a Julius Bauer & Sohne (43); and the WB in Silver is a Wilhelm Deumer (L11).

          Nice.

          hello John,
          very nice first aquisition indeed .
          Any plans on getting a belt and cap to put the icing on a very nice cake?
          I love the breast eagle too by the way, nice and detailed.
          Of course, now you need an enlisted tunic to go alongside it.....

          Congratulations!

          All the best,

          Patrick.

              A very nice original officers tunic. Congrats All you need now is the open claw belt and a visor or M38 overseas and you are all set. Oh and love the breast eagle!! Glenn

                Patrick: I do plan on getting a belt in the near future but I am not sure if I want a visor cap or a side cap. For some reason I have always been particularly fond to the side caps though.

                        P.S. would look even nicer with a "saddle-type" officer visor

                        BTW, nice badges too and beautiful ribbon bar!

                            I have both side cap and visor for my infantry tunic.
                            The side cap doesn`t fit the head of my manequin though
                            Nice tunic by the way.
