Query about M36 Infantry Officers tunic and visor.

[JoeLiao]

Hi Gents!

I’m a beginner TR collector, and currently in love with M36 Infantry Officers tunic.

All I want to know is:

1. How many color does M36 tunic produced? So far I know there was green and grey one.

2. How many color does Infantry Officers visor produced?

3. When you Gents bought the tunic, would you mind the color difference
between visor and tunic? Or you will try to seek the similar color in order to match the tunic and visor?

4. Is there any English website or link about M36 Officers tunic, will like to learn more about M36 tunics. Such as maker, type, style, etc.

I already done few search on this forum, but most of image only showing the tunic without visor, so if is OK for you gents to show me some image of full set M36 Infantry Officers tunic with visor?

Thanks so much

Best Regards

Joe

Hi Joe, and welcome to the forum!

The shade of Feldgrau could vary very much from grey to grey/green. It was never a standardised shade.

It was quite normal for an Officers cap or trousers to be a slightly different shade from that of his tunic.

Cheers, Ade.

Dear sSterbebild & Ade:

Thanks so much for you two gents kind assistance and warm welcome, as a new collector, there is still so much of the knowledge that I still need to learn.

But I did some of my home work about the tunic as well!

For the M36 Infantry officer service tunic:

1. Normally Officer purchased their service tunic privately, so the quality standard are much higher than the Government Issue tunic.
2. Most of the tunics’ color showing field-grey to grey green and the visor as well.
3. The tunic features a vertical, five button or six button type.
4. tunics have green backing to the basic tab.
5. officers has bullion collar tab
6. officers’ shoulder boards feature with matte silver braid with a single or double stamped, gilt washed, alloy rank pips.
7. The tunic has four front pockets
8. The interior of the tunic is fully lined in grey rayon with off-white striped sleeves

If I did miss or confused with anything please correct me, just will like to know more about the M36 officer tunic.

Sorry for my poor English skill.

Best Regards
Joe

Dear Ade:

Thanks so much for the comment, actually I was consider to buy a references book, but due to lack of the fund, I have to wait a bit.
