Army Officer cape questions

[Mr.Jerry D]

We just picked up some neat pieces and in there was an Army officer's cape.
It has a bottle green collar and field grey cape part.

I am trying to find a comparable to help price it out, but so far had not had much luck. has anyone seen/sold one before?

I assume they are kind of rare.

Thanks!

Got any pictures? They are rare to an extent, most were private purchases and many variations were made. I've seen one that could may have been an original and sold for €600

They are, but not much sought after. Tried to sell one for 300 eur, finally traded it cheaper just to get rid of it (also I have a foto of my grandfather wearing one).

Hi,
Thanks guys. Right now this is the only photo I have. It currently has officer's insignia on it, as that is how we got it, but I am not sure that would be correct. But the interesting thing is they took off the underlay of the shoulder boards before they sewed them on. There are initials in the collar area too. They guy we acquired it from spent his summers in Germany growing up in the 60-70s and managed to put together a pretty neat collection from friends and the relatives he stayed with.

The cape was not worn with any insignia. Although it could be a very unusual example and original I would suspect all the insignia was all added post war.

I have a couple of them that are part of groupings. As Gran Sasso indicated, they are rare but not many people are really looking for them.

Neat photo, it looks like probably a Burgermeister and NSDAP officials talking to GJ soldiers leaving for the front or just coming back etc.
