Like Polish items, pre-1939 Czech military clothing unmodified is very rare but there are some examples.

I would write to this guy-

I am sure it is Czech now, look at the stamps in this WWII tunic and the same lining

Johnny you are the man!!!! This is an identical interior, great job and thanks very much for helping me and the others on here.

-Would you consider these rare? You stated that, like prewar Polish items, these items can be found but very rare. Would you consider these very rare? It would certainly feel very nice knowing that this puppy is considered rare!!!!

[Johnny R]

I am not the man. I would consider these items as rare but that said they are not high value items. Just very uncommon to see. Reissue items like this are not often encountered but are less desirable then issue items to most collectors.

Johnny (who is no longer the man) thanks for the direction here, again. Your right, the interior is identical, I would imagine the piece I have was pressed into service and judging the shoulder boards, used by a Wehrmacht Officer. Im not a POA patch knowledgable person, so unsure if it is legit. Anyway thanks, and thanks to Ray!

-Lets see some more of these Czech Mantels!!!

It does look foreign. Maybe someone familiar with this language structure can be of assistance?
I also wonder why none of the other known examples posted have this stamp unless i'm missing it?

Hello,
It is 100% Czech language. It is a some tailor shop in Czechia or Moravia. These tailors firms there were thousands in Bohemia in this times..
Bel./Del.(?) Druž. Krejčích (acronym) = Družstvo Krejčích (transl.Tailoring Team)
Král. = Královské (Royal) - maybe cities like Král. Poříčí, Král. Vinohrady, Králův Dvůr, Králíky,..etc???

This stamp may be from the time of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (until 1918) ..In that time in Bohemia there spoken and written in German and Czech language on 50:50. ..maybe after 1919, after the formation of Czechoslovak Republic .. I really do not know..

This is part of the army stamp of Czech Lion - Czechoslovak national emblem, which used Czechoslovak army from 1919 to 195x

Bubble, thanks for the help, would this be correct that it was pressed into service by the Wehrmacht? The boards are sewn in very nicely and not crude. This is an early on right? I mean, the date of 1937 must mean the year??

I have one as well but stamps are not clear.

And for some reason there are no option for picture opload in this thread, but I have one going at war relics: http://www.warrelics.eu/forum/ss-uniforms-insignia/ss-great-coat-m-36-a-568756/

I would really like to know if these where issued for wh or Ss and where they come from.
