Superb display William. The early helmet really sets it off.

[Mike Swan]

Stunning display, William.

Your next fairly difficult project will be sourcing a medal bar with a couple of Turkish medals to complement the Turkish Star.

Regards, Mike

Stunning

Congratulations

Given the date when the Waffenrock was introduced for wear, William, I would say it would be one of the two last Obersts on the list, unless one of the Abteilungskommandeure continued to wear the "6" after promotion.

The Turkish award on the right breast should make it rather easy to verify the wearer. I will look in a book issued by the Kameradschaft of KR 6 to see if he is pictured.

That's assuming the Iron Half Moon is original to the tunic. William, did all the awards come with it?

No, I had a blank spot for a screwback award and simply put a nice badge there. No clue what other awards would go in this location (I doubt he was a Spain cross recipient and I am unfamiliar if there are screwback Imperial decorations worn in this location.

Great logic about the possible ID with the waffenrock introduction date, Don.

Thank you.

Beautiful display. Well done. I think the name tag is gone forever unfortunately...

This was in my collection for 10 years and in another advanced collection before that. It is a killer Commanding officer tunic.

here it is at the Raleigh NC show. Had it at a few Max shows as well
