Thanks guys

New addition. An untouched Infantry waffenrock for the rank of an Oberst.
That's the highest rank i have in my collection up to now. I am dreaming about a general's tunic one day

The aguillette and EKI came with the tunic. The EKI is a screwback type marked 800 and ''K''.

In the pocket there was a letter of a previous owner of the tunic who sent a letter to the Bundesarchiv in order to find out the name of the Oberst. Even though the name is written inside the pocket it's not very clear.

Translation from google.
Not very sharp but we get the meaning

Your letter of 14/07/92
Dear Mr. Smith,
I regret I have to tell you that the name of the label also could not be deciphered.
The inf. reg. 74 is only on 12.10.1937 situated in Hameln was. Commander was a colonel Schmidt.
I regret not help can be.
Springs to Yours,
in order

There used to be a ribbon bar also but only 1 out of 4 loops is still in place, tststs

[don_kihotis7]

Above that there are some tiny holes which make me think that there was something else on this tunic. But what?
Remains of loops for a close combat clasp?

[Adrian Stevenson]

Given his rank, more likely a good sized ribbon bar.

Cheers, Ade.
