Show us your UNTOUCHED & BATTLE WORN field tunic!

Here are some of mine, both pioneer.

Firstly, a salty pioneer Major's field blouse. All of the insignia is heavily oxidised and has been there forever. Field grade pioneer tunics seem quite hard to find.




Secondly, a light weight field blouse for a Leutnant of Pi/Btn 46.

Has everything dried up??...I'm sure there must be more out there...

In line with the excellent GJ Leutnant tunic that Sander has posted, this upgraded EM M36 tunic that has definitely been in the front line. The tunic is named and belonged to a Oberltnt who was KIA in July 1941 aged 29 as chief of 3rd company I Btl. Rgt. 137. P.D. was killed in a disastrous attack over the River Liza in the Murmansk area and his battalion was decimated after a counter attack. Thirteen (!) officers from the battalion were killed in total.

I acquired this great tunic from M. Davis (actually not easy to find upgraded officer field tunics). Allegedly the shoulderboards are later additions and found by the previous owner; quite unique IMO since they are 100% untouched and a perfect match both in rank, Rgt. as in wear!

Yes indeed, I loved that tunic and kept an example very similar - a 99'er. Here they are pictured together.

Inf. Uffz. summer tunic.

Okay, maybe not the sexiest of all, but I have always a personal weakness over those field-made tunics... Again, this one is all untouched showing a period repair in the collar, fraying along the edges and heavy sun fading... A real 'been there' that does not qualify for merely walking-out IMO.

Here is my combat worn M43 tunic, upgraded to officer wear. The tunic is in EXC condition with no damage. Cuffs have and collar been added but the eagle is the EM version and is factory applied with the top edge of the pocket sewn over the lower part of the wreath. Enjoy! Steve

Here is another untouched tunic, M36 upgraded for officer. All period applied insignia.

Finally, here is a combat worn M36, NCO tunic. This tunic is well used but still in very good condition. Steve

Since I think it would be welcomed to see also the same quality of worn & untouched Polizei combat uniforms ; I've started a similar thread in the proper Police Forum section: http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=523640.

I would like to show you my "battle-worn" uniform of an officer of the infantry regiment 37. He has been wounded a first time in France (handgrenade) and a second time in july 1941 in Russia (only one month after operation Barbarossa !). He was so badly wounded that he couldn't go back to the front.

I like very much this uniform and the Schirmmütze (same guy), especially because there is a story behind this uniform. This uniform came directly from the family and was never in the hands of a collector. Enjoy !
