Rare RMBO (Reich Ministry for the Occupied Eastern Territories) Officials second pattern tunic issued from around August 1942 to German Officials assigned to the Occupied Eastern Territories. The pink collar tabs identify the owner as a member of the Reichskommissariat. The exact rank is unknown to us. The tabs are period time attached by machine.
Unworn tunics like that do turn up. However, this example - coming with original applied collar tabs - can be considered as extremely rare.
Simple in design, their sole purpose was to distinguish the wearer as an RMBO official and as such they had no shoulder straps. Machine-attached collar tabs.
Two pair of loops to the breast pocket for awards as well as three loops for a field bar.
The gilt piping is thought to signify a higher rank level. A RMBO style national eagle attached by hand.
All silver buttons on the tunic have the national emblem over oak leaves.
Fine brown silk lining. Including a dagger hanger.
