Description
WH (Heer) Infantry M35 Dress Tunic (Wehrmacht Parade-Waffenrock) as intended for an 'Oberfeldwebel' within an Artillery Regiment. The M35 dress tunic was introduced for wear by all ranks on 29 June 1935 as the walking out, parade and ceremonial dress with stone grey long pants. The design of the M35 dress tunic was based on the Imperial German army's service tunic. Originally all personnel were issued two M35 dress tunics but manufacture was discontinued somewhere around 1940 as a result of the war. The different branches of service within the German army were allocated a particular identifying 'Waffenfarbe' (branch of service) color, this tunic is piped in red as intended for an NCO within an Artillery unit. The tunic is having a pair of collar-tabs hand sewn to the collar. Silver NCO braid is machine-sewn around the collar. The tunic is complete with a pair of original sew-in type shoulder boards, the shoulder boards are showing two rank pips indicating an 'Oberfeldwebel' within an Artillery Regiment and the regimental cyphers '276'. The tunic is complete with tailor label from the tailor 'Heinrich Döhnert' from Minden. The lining is showing a unit marking for the 'Artillerie-Regiment 6'. The tunic is in overall good condition with some regular traces of usageand some minor (moth)damages, mainly on the reverse, see photos. The cuffs are in incomplete condition missing the dark green french style cuffs. The breast eagle is missing as well. Nice piece for restauration, priced accordingly!
