Coastal Artillery officer's cord tunic

[grantsmil]

Coastal Artillery officer's corduroy jacket.

Not my usual field of collecting but I thought this was an interesting example.
THe jackets is made of a heavily ribbed light green cotton. There is no evidence of a breast eagle ever been sewn of the breast, but there are two holes in the jackets where a pin may have been used to secure the badge.

missing shoulder strap badge

Both shoulder straps show there is a missing insignia. The shape could be similar to a medical insignia or a winged bomb.

Very interesting! Any pictures of the inside??

KM CA jacket, inside

The inside is unlined and unlike any Heer or LW jacket I have seen. An unusual feature is a triangular flap at the rear of the neck. On the underside of the flap is a stamp of two numbers, 46 above 43.

Hello, nice corduroy jacket. I have a very similar one in tan color. IMO this is a green jacket for the blue uniform, not a KA officer tunic. The cut and style is from the white jacket, open collar, 4 buttons, 4 pockets with cetral pleats, false "French" cuffs, ...

By the shadow the career insignia on the shoulders seams to be for Administration (Verwaltungsoffizier) branch.

Thanks Eduardo,
I'll keep a look out for the career insignia of the Administration (Verwaltungsoffizier) Branch, and an eagle.

Hi.

As Eduardo said, it is a green jacket for the blue uniform.
Here is a picture of mine.

I think the shape on your shoulder boards looks like a winged bomb.

Best regards,

André,
That is a very nice jacket set-up you have.

The top button hole on mine appears to be only decorative and serves no purpose, there is no corresponding button. Is this the same with others?

André, nice jacket my friend

I'm still thinking that the isignias is from Adminitration ...

Thanks Eduardo,
I have examined the shoulder straps more closely now, & the career insignia of the Administration (Verwaltungsoffizier) Branch, does appear to fit the fading the best, I will hunt some down.

Thanks for your assistance.

Question

H...IMO this is a green jacket for the blue uniform, not a KA officer tunic. .

What does this mean ? Was this worn with blue trousers and standard blue visor ? Or is it a summer tunic together with white pants and white cap ?
I would love to see a picture in wear.


BTW, a wonderful tunic...I am still looking for such cordura samples in white and brown...now I have to add "green"....

Regards
Christian
