This is a finely crafted, privately tailored service blouse for a Heer Infantry Feldwebel. Made from high-quality doeskin wool, it features a stand-and-fall collar covered in dark green badge cloth. The jacket has a six-button front and four pleated patch pockets, with field-grey painted pebbled buttons, including those on the shoulder boards. The green rayon lining includes slit for suspending a dagger or sword at the lower left pocket. Early pattern Infantry litzen collar tabs are machine-applied, while the metallic NCO tress is hand-sewn. Wool/Felt shoulder straps with felt piping are neatly attached to the seams, each adorned with machine-applied metallic NCO tress and a silvered rank pip. The national emblem, hand-embroidered in aluminum wire on a dark green wool base, is sewn to the breast, with original loops for a ribbon bar and two breast badges.
Condition is exceptional, with only minimal signs of insect tracks and light sweat staining to sleeve lining.
Item is sold only as an original historical artifact
