Wachmantel

Hello,
Can’t comment on this being a specific SS item as I can’t see any evidence of a sleeve eagle/ markings in your Link provided, however this looks like an original Wachmantel. (I have the M42 Heer version). This is a M40 example with the smaller collar as opposed to the M42 with larger collar. These coats tended to be issued at unit level rather than to individual soldiers. Top tip - these coats are extremely heavy, so try and avoid hanging it on a hanger as there is a danger that over time the shoulders will become damaged/detached by doing so.
Regards,
Colin

Hi,

pictures for the WAF archives.
Please remember that unless a moderator or an association member repost your pictures, your topic will be deleted as threads which contain photos that are hosted by an outside source are not tolerated anymore due to the very large amount of threads which became useless due to the missing photos over the last years.
