Theodor Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theodor Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 His Parade tunic from the 1927 - early 1930's period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theodor Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share 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!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theodor Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share 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 Share Posted January 15, 2009 This one is a little better preserved, although the boards are missing here, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theodor Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 One button is silver, not gold. He used what he had in the pocket! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
