Looking for a coastal artillery uniform

[looy]

Hi all,

I'm looking for a kriegsmarine coastal artillery uniform for a schütze since too many years now but I can't find it ! It's the last thing to complete my bust...
Do you know where I could find one ?

Thank you for your help !

Hello, actually you have some tunics for sell on Tarnmilitaria and Regimentals webs.

Thanks "km-spain", the best for my bust is the NCO's Candidate uniform. The uniform on Tarnmilitaria is for an officer.

Did the NCO's Candidate were with soldiers on the Coast ?

[km-spain]

looy if you are talking about the tunic in Regimentals, I have never seen those cuff rings on a KA tunic, the NCO candidates wore a gold tress loop around the base of the shoulder straps. Tunic is OK IMO but the gold tress of the cuffs not.

ho thank you ! I don't want to buy something not 100% original. If you see a küstenartillerie troop uniform just let me know please.

Thanks

[km-spain]

I will do, but is not easy to find them.

Best.

Thank you km-spain, the tunics are awesome.... I just need a troop tunic to finish my bust but I can't find it, that's frustrating !...


Tiziano buttier thanks for the link but some articles are really expensive and there is no küstenartillerie tunics. Maybe later.


These are the objects I have for the mannequin. I got almost all but not the tunic and the 98k sling :

looy nice pieces you have there , the helmet looks really nice. Are all KM marked?

[looy]

Unfortunately not km-spain. But I think I doesn't really matter because firstly the items are the same if we put appart the km stamp and secondly i've heard that a the end of the war near 1944-1945, the küstenartillerie soldiers received some Heer items because of the desorganisation. Is that true ?

Sure, the Marine Infantry Divisions used the material that was available and not only from KM depots.

Great ! So It's all good for the mannequin. I'm really impatient ! it will be my first mannequin but for instance just the bust.

The KM helmet is certainly the best piece, it comes from the St Nazaire pocket in France. My grand father brought it back during the war.
