Description
Original WW2 Nazi German set of a fine condition Army service tunic with the original matching near mint breeches for a Heer Generalstab Hauptmann (Army General Staff Captain) which includes a high quality custom tailored service blouse and breeches with Lampassen. The finely tailored four pocket service blouse is constructed of high quality trikot wool and is lined in dark green colored rayon with provision for wear with a dagger or sword. The lining has frayed woven Straubing tailor’s label. The blouse has four pleated patch pockets, turn back cuffs and a stand and fall collar. The lower edge of the collar has original machine applied collar patches with the unique Kolbenstickerei bullion embroidery on a dark green badge cloth backing. Each sewn in shoulder board has two gilt rank pips. The bullion national emblem is hand applied and lacks a few of its horizontal highlight threads. The tunic has all original high quality light grey painted pebbled buttons and the shoulder board buttons are of smaller diameter. There are loops present for two breast badges and a long ribbon bar. The tunic displays original ribbons for KVKII and Romanian Anti Communist medals which are sewn to the the second from top front closure buttonhole. The upper left sleeve has a neatly hand applied Krim shield on the original issue wool backing. The accompanying breeches are made of a thick but soft stone grey colored trikot wool. The breeches have a full waist lining, pocket bags and an inner belt of grey colored rayon. There are two slashed hip pockets, one rear buttoned pocket and a small watch pocket as well as a rear tightening strap. Each outer leg has the center seam piped in carmine red with two flanking broad red stripes of the same color applied via machine sewing. It has fine quality black glass buttons used at fly and calves and for waist braces. This museum grade set exhibits a uniform light to moderate wear and very minor soiling overall but each piece is without serious damage or any repair. This is one of the finest original groupings out there today.
