Re: colonial officers tunic ! ? !
Hi, it is a Kriegsmarine Officers tropical tunic. It was cut the same as the "Rock M31". It was worn with rank shoulder strap and a pin on gilt metal breast eagle.
The same cut of tunic was also worn by Petty Officers but with cloth breast eagle.
Worn in all tropical regions. So it would have been seen all around the Med and Southern Russia etc.
I must admit the design of these looked really dated for a WW2 tunic.
Cheers, Ade.

Re: colonial officers tunic ! ? !
Yes, It does indeed look very dated !
It appears unissued, but could anyone give me an estimated value?
I've been thinking of dressing it up with correct breast insignia, an EK1
and a button hole EK ribbon.
( TR uniform collector I know says he would like it - says it's not a
"big money" item..........! ! ! )
You'll laugh when I tell you how much I paid !

Re: colonial officers tunic ! ? !
Hi, I cannot help on a value, as I cannot recall seeing one of these for sale recently.
Come on, how much did you pay? I bet it was cheap!
Cheers, Ade.

Re: colonial officers tunic ! ? !
It was at a thrift store, and sat there a couple of weeks........
I thought it might be Chinese Navy !
I bought it because the buttons looked nicely made.
( They're Assman, as I found out later ! )
$7.99 - plus 15% tax of course...........

Re: colonial officers tunic ! ? !
What a bargain!
I did a search to see if I could find one for sale yesterday. But nothing came up.
Cheers, Ade.

Re: colonial officers tunic ! ? !
Thanks very much, Ade !
One may pop up on the net sometime or other............
I've just recently seen one in a uniform book, but I can't remember the title !

Awesome tunic... if only it had insignia!

Re: colonial officers tunic ! ? !
'It is what it is.........'
The photo of this type of tunic that I had seen three years ago
had insignia, a belt with holster, etc. - it looked very nice.
I am tempted to make this one look similar.........
