Wehrmacht overcoat
I found this interesting overcoat with the shoulder boards, what are your opinions? is everything from ww2?
take a picture of the man in the overcoat .Thank you.
Better photos needed of the interior. Appears to be a Medical officer's Mantel. NH
No; it's Truppensonderdienst [TSD], more specifically, its administration branch [Verwaltungsdienst].by Neil Hever
(Note that the shoulder board device is a caduceus [Merkurstab], not an Aesculapius rod [Äskulapstab].)
Rank is Stabszahlmeister.
The greatcoat is post war West German. They have slashed the markings in the pocket to hide this. Note also the cut: there would not be a seam down the front of the coat near the throat on a wartime coat.
Cheers, Ade.

Hello,
Just wondering about the shoulderboards....how long they've been on the greatcoat ?
The numeral on the button does not go well with this shoulderboard...
Thanks

^ Quite correct. A small image thew me off but now I see the difference. And it appears they had blue Waffenfarbe. NH
Good catch Ade. I thought something was fishy about it which is why I wanted to see better interior photos. They would surely sink it. Overall, this is a boogered with overcoat. NH
