Original Item: Only One Available. This is a beautiful Heer Infantry 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 or mothing. The collar is wrapped in a dark-green wool, and is decorated with insignia. The base material of the two litzen on each side of the collar opening are white, which designates Infantry. 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 shoulder boards of this Waffenrock have a green base wool with white piping and the number 116 for the 116 Infantry Regiment . The front breast eagle is a tan 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. Unfortunately the left wing is partially detached. 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 white piping and silver litzen. The interior of the Waffenrock is lined with a fine rayon. The interior of the Waffenrock is marked with depot stamps and a faint date of 43 for 1943.
The only award featured is an unmarked black wound badge in excellent condition.
This is a wonderful example that comes ready for display and further research!
