Wehrmacht Don Cossack

[TrondK]

Here i have a nice Cossack tunic. It is a Dutch tunic reissued for a Don Cossack. Hope you all like it.

Trondk,

Shall post mine here since it is more similar to this one. I note this one of yours is squeaky clean the Georgean the jacket is worn and the badge looks very new compaired to the jacket, that is what I meant in my earlier comment on the other post. I would be keen to see if this jacket has the added pockets at the waist like the one I have. I got mine in the early 80s when these were not at all desirable in fact quite the reverse, they were a poor mans substitute for a 'Real' jacket.

Of note are the added German patch pockets at the waist and the shoulder board attachments both in german material. I think I have a photo album from a local unit in Lunneburg that have been issued these jackets as well, I think I already posted that on WRF some time ago if you have a search.

Great tunics guys.

Jock,

Are there any signs of a shoulder patch for a legion?

Trondk,

What rank is that? Is this man a Cossack Sonderfuhrer?

Paul,

I was just going to say no but thought I would have a look, there are signs that something was on the right arm so not a legion patch, something I hadn't noticed in 34 years!

That is a leason in itself, perhaps I need to go back and look everything over that I got as a kid!
