Grouping to Knight's Cross recipient Generalmajor Erich Freiherr von Seckendorff (1897 - 1944). He was killed in action on 23. September 1944 near Lagarde, France serving as as commander of 113. Panzer-Brigade. Erich Freiherr von Seckendorff lies buried in Bad Windsheim-Obernzenn, Bavaria.

Heer privately purchased field tunic to Oberstleutnant Erich Freiherr von Seckendorff. It is exactly the same tunic shown on a portrait photo (modern replica) part of this grouping. He also wears his Knight's Cross on that photo. The grouping offers three more original photographs showing him wearing exactly this tunic. Two photos also show his Knight's cross worn with this tunic.

Period time attached insignia. Machine-attached collar tabs. Hand-attached breast eagle. Complete buttons. One quite loose.

Originally attached buttons to the inside of the collar to attach his Knight's Cross. Loops for a ribbon bar as well as his 1939 Iron Cross clasp and one more award. 
Fine silk lining. No name tag. A catch to attach his officer's dagger.

Some moth holes. Medium size. Extremely rare.
