Description

Excellent uniform grouping for an SS-Obersturmführer of the artillery serving with SS-Panzer-Regiment 5 which was part of Division Wiking. This tunic would have most probably stayed home as a walking out tunic. It shows almost no signs of wear and comes with only minor signs of age.

Privately tailored field tunic with complete and period time attached buttons showing full color. Machine-applied officer's collar tabs for an Obersturmführer. No traces of previously attached collar tabs. 
Hand-applied shoulder boards. Gilt "5" ciphers. Pink backing. Two pair of award loops. Including a East Medal ribbon bar and an Iron Cross ribbon.

Hand-attached officer's sleeve eagle. Machine-woven. 
Machine-woven cuff title "WIKING". Attached by machine.

Fine silk lining.
Very nice condition. Medium size. Only a few small moth bites if you check carefully.

Matching breeches in excellent condition. No damage. Again, a few tiny moth bites if you look closely. Complete buttons. No signs of wear.
