Original German WWII Heer NCO 22nd Artillery Regiment Waffenrock – Dated 1936 Original Items

Original Item: Only One Available. This is a beautiful Heer Enlisted Artillery Waffenrock. The base material of the uniform is made of a fine feldgrau colored wool. The wool shows no signs of any physical damage by misuse but does display some mothing. The collar is wrapped in a dark-green wool, and is decorated with “chain” stitching border. The base material of the two litzen on each side of the collar opening are red, which designates Artillery. The two litzen themselves are woven from a fine silver flatware thread. The collar, and its insignia, are without any noticeable damage or mothing. The “sew-in” style shoulder boards of this Waffenrock have a dark green base wool, which is piped in red. “22” is neatly chain-stitched on the shoulder boards. This is the regiment number the soldier was attached to. The buttons holding the top portion of the boards to the Artillery Waffenrock are silvered and feature the number “8”, indicating this soldier belonged to 8th Company of Artillery Regiment 22. The front breast eagle is an earlier moss-green colored First Pattern executed in silver wire. The eagle is without damage and is originally sewn to the tunics breast by very neat hand stitching. Eight silvered buttons adorn the front of the tunic and all appear to be originally attached.

The lower French style cuffs of the sleeves have a dark-green based wool, and are adorned with red piping and silver litzen. The interior of the Artillery Waffenrock is lined with cotton. The interior of the Waffenrock is marked with depot stamp and date E36 which stands for E. (unknown manufacturer) 1936. Under this is the regimental designation 8. / A.R. 22 I.

Featured on the right shoulder is a beautiful 2nd Pattern Heer Army Marksmanship Lanyard without subsequent awards. This later version has the Heer / Army eagle at the top of an oak leaf wreath, with two crossed swords over a shield in the middle of the wreath. The condition is very good, showing only light wear, and no major deterioration to the felt backing of the badge. The bullion portions are still bright and look great. Unfortunately there is minor damage to wear the lanyard attaches.

This lovely Artillery Waffenrock comes ready to research and display!
