"Zick-zack" attached by machine.
Red piped (cotton) shoulder boards in matching condition. Slip-on pattern. Machine-embroidered "Wiking" cuff title attached by machine.
All buttons complete and originally attached. Fine grey color silk lining. Size marked. Four "5" numeric cyphers with intact prongs inside the inner pocket.

Waffen-SS EM/NCO M43 field cap. Again tailored from Italian gabardine. Size "58" stamped as well as "M44" marked to the fine silk lining. Machine-attached woven cap insignia. Perfectly matching the tunic in quality and condition.
