Uffz. Rohleder Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 Hello all, did anyone ever seen such a coat? In my time as collector i saw many coats and uniform - but i saw never such a coat. The Stamping says: Pekagummi Berlin43 54 110124 68 GreetingsStefan (sorry for the bad pics)
Jock Auld Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 I have seen similar rubberized coats that are something that could be bought privately or at least that was the opinion at he time?
Uffz. Rohleder Posted June 28, 2015 Author Posted June 28, 2015 Thank you. Maybe its from a driver - not a kradmelder - with the kammerstempel it must be an wehrmacht coat. Or are privately bought pieces stamped similar?
Jock Auld Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 (edited) I don't know is the answer, I will venture into the cellar during the week if I get time and check against what I have, I have learned there are no 'musts' or it 'can't' be. It looks to be of the period so it probably is? It would be a lot of effort for not a lot of gain to make it as a copy so we have to just try to interpret what info we have. Have you found any other rubberized items produced by this firm? Perhaps KM stuff, gas stuff or Krad stuff? It could also be early East German as another option as many of the factories both sides were just started back up? Edited June 28, 2015 by Jock Auld
Uffz. Rohleder Posted June 28, 2015 Author Posted June 28, 2015 I just found that the company had a contract with the wehrmacht. But thats all for now. I found several photos of Wehrmachts officers and nco´s with similar / same rubberized coats
