EARLY THIRD REICH 'WAFFENROCK' PARADE TUNIC FOR SENIOR ARTILLERY SERGEANT.

A marvellous example of a very high quality parade Waffenrock tunic for a Senior Wachtmeister NCO of the Artillery. With much silver tress ribbon on the collars and cuffs, these tunics look better than the Officers ones in my opinion. This tunic is in really great condition, has obvious evidence of having been worn with some staining to the lining under the arms and wear to the edge of the cuff lining. Beautifully made in heavy green serge wool. The silver rank tress ribbon runs around the top of the collar etc, whch designates this as an early tunic, pre-1936, as after this time the silver tress ran along the bottom of the tunic collar. Waffenfarbe is red for the artillery and this is evident all over the runic, collar patches, epaulettes, tunic trim and cuffs etc. The original silver bullion national eagle is sewn to the right breast and is of superior (officer) quality. Senior Sergeant Major rank identification badge on right sleeve bordered in silver wire. On the right sleeve is the specialist badge for a 'gun layer'. This is a SUPERIOR tunic in every way, totally untouched and a real piece of history. (tunics are hard to photograph and we have limited space here, I can send much better, detailed pictures upon request)
