Buttons on the Drillich...

Hi,

can anyone show me an example of the buttons on the drillich tunic?

Thanks

Chris

Would this be correct?

Would that be the NCO or the enlisted version?

Hi,

 

NCO

Chris,

The few un-messed with NCO Drillich jackets I have seen had regular brass crown buttons.

Nice buttons but I think you'd need the loops Chip are yours sewn on?

I guess there can be just plain tombak buttons as well. The ringed buttons are often seen too. Eric I think the one I got from you is most likely a WWII jacket.
