Heer Army & Waffen-SS Panzer Jackets

[bob wirtz]

Anybody have nice Army or Waffen-SS black panzer jackets and headgear, or for that matter assault gun (StuG) jackets for show? Here is mine. This is an Oberfeldwebel black panzer jacket with M38 overseas cap. It has the pink soutache and the cockade is on dark-green backing. Inside is the safety pin to keep the top closed up.

Very nice Bob!

Hello!

I agree very nice. Please show more from your collection.

All the best

Nesredep.

Thank you for your kind words.

Nesredep, this is it, as far as panzer is concerned. I collect Wehrmacht uniforms and headgear and so far I only have two Heer outfits. The other is an Oberfeldwebel of Panzer Bandsman Waffenrock, which doesn't fit the parameters that I've established on this thread. It's panzer but not a wrapper.

I have pictures of my friends Waffen-SS panzer, camo panzer and StuG jackets. His officer black panzer jacket and two StuG jackets each have a Das Reich cuffband. His camouflaged panzer uniform is pictured in many publications, including Mike Beaver's camouflaged book, Bender's LSSAH and Armes Militaria #99 from 1993.

That is a beautiful set! Have you posted the musician's tunic yet? If not, please start a thread! I would love to see it!

[joe campbell]

you are fortunate to have such a nice example!

would some sort of leather conditioner be out of line

to preserve the belt?

The belt is in fine condition... worn but still supple. It is a tight fit on the mannequin but manageable. I think I already posted a picture of my panzer bandsman waffenrock somewhere on here... probably under my Wehrmacht Collection thread.

Here is the Oberfeldwebel of Panzer bandsman waffenrock. This picture was taken at the 2009 Chantilly Show where Willi and I put up an exhibit called DRESS UNIFORMS OF THE GERMAN WEHRMACHT.
