Rad tunic

[Pavlos]

Hello,

Can someone please tell me if this RAD tunic is original or not?

Thanks!

Looks like a good private purchase tunic.

Cheers, Ade.

The tunic IMO is a Oberfeldmeister denoted by the Gold "Pip" on the shoulder board and collar tabs..
The main thing that throws me off is the "Up turned" cuffs and it is a "5" button tunic..

Have to agree with Gwar with the number of buttons on the front but they did have the deep turned up cuffs - I also note that the reverse is missing the two buttons at the waist line to be used as belt ramps.

What year is this pattern ?? It seems I cannot find another example..

I can see some similarities, but no up turned cuffs.. Some of these photos come from Wim. Saris's / or his research and others the net..

Gwar- Tunic is noted as a 1940 officers pattern as shown- the picture and information is as per Angolia/Littejohn book "Labor organizations of the Reich"

Thanks for the response... But that is a "6" button tunic in your post.. The tunic in question is a "5" button..

I think I found one...
