My 1956 BW Affenjacke for an Oberfeldwebel of pioneers: not everyone's favourite item of military attire, probably accounting for its very brief production span.
Nevertheless, I think that these are interesting in their own right; demonstrating the political considerations inherent in forming the new BW, whilst also recalling that many of those who joined up and wore these had previously served in the Wehrmacht.
I was lucky enough to pick this one up at an Army surplus dealer's about five years ago for £30.00.
