Recently, I was able to find the holy grail of Pickelhauben twice (as I showed before), but this nice mannequin also crossed my path… Of course I couldn’t wait to long to dress it up…
It became a Würtemberg NCO in working outfit. He is wearing black standard boots, a white (faded grey) trousers, NCO Drillichrock, M17 gasmask, M17 steel helmet and Krätchen.
The NCO Drillichrock is slightly different than the enlisted man’s Drillichjacke.The Drillichrock is longer, it has a Waffenrock type rear with two buttons in the middle and all the buttons are made of polished tomback or nickel (as on the corresponding field gray tunic). It has a narrow piping in the state colours around the small standing collar, in this case red and black.
Imagine this NCO was doing some chores and the gas alarm went of. He grabbed his gasmask and steel helmet and rushes out of the bunker…
Enjoy the pictures,
