Theodor Posted January 15, 2009 Author Posted January 15, 2009 detail. Terribly simple type, but outstanding cut and material!
Theodor Posted January 15, 2009 Author Posted January 15, 2009 Seems he had to have 3 /at least/ of that type. The boards are lose at the outer ends, but at least still there!
Theodor Posted January 15, 2009 Author Posted January 15, 2009 His Parade tunic from the 1927 - early 1930's period.
Theodor Posted January 15, 2009 Author Posted January 15, 2009 At that time he was already well decorated. Fortunately he's written his name inside, so someday I will find time to read about his service!!
Theodor Posted January 15, 2009 Author Posted January 15, 2009 And something not so well tailored and a bit out of the regulations IMO. A summer service canvas tunic to a Pioneer officer, with collar tabs applied and made in such a way, that can be worn with opened collar. These "self-made" jackets are interesting, too, during the WW2 many variations of them were seen more and more often. One old officer remembered, that during their advance to Germany at the end of the war, they were capturing warehouses here and there and the unit's tailor was making service tunics-jackets for the officers - quite far from the regulations for the uniforms, but very comfortable for use.
Theodor Posted January 15, 2009 Author Posted January 15, 2009 And back to the coats. This one needs some buttons. And boards. And time machine to get rid of the holes :rolleyes:
Theodor Posted January 15, 2009 Author Posted January 15, 2009 This one is a little better preserved, although the boards are missing here, too.
Theodor Posted January 15, 2009 Author Posted January 15, 2009 One button is silver, not gold. He used what he had in the pocket!
Theodor Posted January 15, 2009 Author Posted January 15, 2009 This one is preserved! Have two more /infantry, I think/, missing the small boards :speechless:
ccj Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 This one is preserved! Have two more /infantry, I think/, missing the small boards VERY NICE. I'd like to see them all
