Unique Uniform Combo

[Schulterklappen]

Infanterie Rgt. 85 converted to a GJ Rgt. in 1940. Look at the death notice picture,
he is wearing a GJ Schirmuetze and Infanterie Waffenrock!

hi

Certainly wearing a GJR cap but the piping on the waffenrock in the death notice photo appears not to be white as per the actual waffenrock for sale with the death notice...the piping at the lower edge of the waffenrock collar and down the tunic front appear to be darkish...poss GJR green?

compare

If one compares the award/ribbon locations with the buttons the awards appear to have wandered considerably. Clearly not the tunic in the photo.

Nice tunic, but I don't think it has any relationship to the photo.

The Waffenrock pictured in the death card doesn't show the light-colored (ie white) piping you'd expect on an Infantry Waffenrock.
The IC ribbon on the Waffenrock pictured in the death card and that on the real Waffenrock on sale are placed differently.
Just two clues, but it's enough for me to conclude that the death card has been added up for display purposes only and/or to lead bidders to believe the two are correlated.
