Product Information
This is a beautiful M43 combat tunic that would be impossible to upgrade from.
It is a good large size and is virtually mint. Generic collar patches factory sewn with NCO tress sewn to the collar. ALL buttons are matching with at least 95 -100% paint remaining to them ,apart from the 5th one down number which has no paint, this is where the buckle would be. Shoulder boards are a matched pair and the material matches the tunic, piped in lemon yellow for signals with grey subdued tress for the rank of Unteroffizier , The piping on the straps is of silk/rayon construction. The Adler has been factory machine stitched with award loops to the left breast pocket, and one under.
Each sleeve has the two strips of tress denoting the wearer to be “Der Spiess”
“Speiss” was not a actual rank, but more an honour/position, usually given to the senior NCO of a company, who would act as the Company Feldwebel (with administrative NCO role in the company), until otherwise informed, when the position was relinquished then the the “two rings” would have to be removed
The inside is lined with silk/rayon and shows some staining due to sweat. Nicely size stamped with the date. This is one of the finest combat tunics that you will find. Completely untouched and original
