Re: Artillery officer tunic and breeches
Hi Ray, all appears to be in order.
The tunic is an enlisted mans issue which has been upgraded for field use by an Officer.
Feld Grau is rather an "elastic" shade! So I have no problem with the colour of the breeches.
Cheers, Ade.

Re: Artillery officer tunic and breeches
So I have a theory on the RBN number and correct me if I am wrong. Possibilly the tunic was made in 39 at the depot, then when it got converted to the officers it was done professionally at this RBN station?

Is the second ribbon in the button hole the Austrian merit order?

Morris,
I was told it was a russian volunteers medal. I confirmed this on the orders and decorations section of this forum. It is an Ostvolk 2nd class in silver. Thanks

Re: Artillery officer tunic and breeches
I'm not fan with the eagle, it's poor for an officer. For the pants, they are not in wool?

Re: Artillery officer tunic and breeches
I have not seen the Reddick eagles before, they have not migrated to the UK yet. They are similar I agree.
The ribbon is the Ostvolk award 2nd class.
I would say the tunic was converted by the company with the RB number.
Cheers, Ade.

Re: Artillery officer tunic and breeches
I believe there is a feature on the tunic eagle that is NOT on the copies. around the swastika ring at the tips of the hakenkreuz are diagonal ribbing - I cannot see this feature on the other images?

Re: Artillery officer tunic and breeches
Also, how long would it take for a member of the former "Eastern Peoples" ( for that is whom the award was to be given to ) to ascend to the rank of Oberleutnant in the German artillery?????
