Description

Very early service tunic, a so-called "Gesellschaftsrock" for an Oberfeldwebel serving as a Spieß for Infanterie-Regiment 36. It is designed smilar to a Waffenrock parade tunic but comes with two breast pockets and two lower pockets. Furthermore, there is a white vertical piping to the button line. It is not a converted parade tunic but a true "Gesellschaftsrock" and the first we had to a "Spieß" in all these years.

Dark green white piped shoulder boards. Silvered cyphers and rank pips. The boards were sewn-in. Machine-attached collar tabs and tress. Extra stiches from previously attached EM tabs visible which means he had worn this tunic when started serving as a low rank.

Two "Spieß" tress rings machine-attached to both of the sleeves. Early (1935,36) breast eagle. A maschine-woven example which was correctly machine-attached to a green backing which was attached by hand to the tunic. We do tend to postwar attached here even if the eagle nicely matches the tunic. It could also be attached period time after promotion.

Green silk lining. No name tag. Loops for at least two awards. One loop missing. Another two pair of loops for a field ribbon bar. Two original bars were postwar attached to this tunic.

No moth holes. Good condition 2. Presented on Medium size bust.  Small size.
