Infantry der Spiess NCO tunic

[all1knew]

Hello all,

Would like to share a tunic display that I have in my collection. I believe the instructor's ciphers on the shoulder boards would be for Heeresunteroffiziersschule and could be München (although not operational for very long) Mewe, or Marienwerder. I guess it could be possible that this is a machine-gunner's cipher as well and not necessarily a town name. This is a privately tailored piece, I believe from captured Italian gabardine and is of the highest quality. I know technically he should have a pebbled aluminum two-piece walking out buckle but I like this way this one matches the matte finish of the buttons.

I dote on garments made of Italian gray green twill and this is no exception. Prewar dark green insignia are an original detail and add a touch of color. Very nice.

Nice! Cuff Tresse question?

Beautiful tunic! Thank you for sharing!


Would it be possible to see a photo of where the tresse rings around the
cuffs meet? Do they go inside the hem of the jacket, or are they just
sewn to touch each other, or?

Thanks very much!
John
