Post SOS Tunic Pick-up

[Fred Green]

Hello,

A friend showed me this tunic at the SOS and then purchased it. The next day he offered it to me. It is exactly what I have been looking for for ages.

This is a private purchase,tailor made, Reichsheer tunic made for a Feldwebel in IR13. This was made pre Third Reich time period and has had a private purchase ,white thread, breast eagle applied. There is no makers label name tag. There is a button under the right shoulder board for a schutzenschnurr. The tresse is evenly toned all over and nothing has been messed with in my opinion. I have an WWI EKI coming and I believe the ribbon bar goes well with a veteran Wurttemberger! An awesome piece!!

Thanks for looking!

Looks very nice Fred and in good condition

[Fred Green]

Thanks Ben,

IR13 is my main collecting area due to their location,Ulm, and lineage and traditions. IR13 carried the traditions of the WWI Wurttemberg Infantry Regiments IR119-IR127 and IR180. In October of 1935 they added Landespolizeigruppe 57 and became IR56 of the 5thInfantry Division.
