Waffen-SS M43 EM/NCO field blouse in coarse captured Italian wool with provenance to Dachau. Textbook construction with zigzag rayon lining and two holes for belt hooks. The garment retains all of its originally sewn buttons and a ghost of a once factory sewn sleeve eagle. There are zero moth nips and the garment is in perfect unissued condition. The garment has not been shortened or tailored in any way. Normal and typical size fitting most modern mannequins. The garment was taken from the Dachau stores after the camps liberation and worn on the way home by a former prisoner. The name and birthplace are noted in a letter that comes with the blouse.
Waffen-SS M43 Keilhosen for enlisted man and non commissioned officers in stone mint condition. The trousers retain all of their originally sewn buttons and full leg ties. The inside of the trousers are nicely finished with herringbone rayon material typical for Waffen-SS issue garments. The cut is typical for Waffen-SS issue Keilhosen with straight cut pockets and the back reinforcement ending at the side seams.
Why hasn't this thread been pinned yet? Glad it is still running. Just had another read through.
That's a good question. I guess if enough members email the moderators and recommend it then it could happen. I plan on adding more to this thread in the coming months. Lot's more to discuss and also update the list of manufacturer codes.
Also I want to thank the other members like 4th Division for posting additional examples of SS uniforms and showing the ink stamped code numbers.
