Hello,
Presented here is a rather rare field tunic for a captain in the Moterized Gendarmerie. Pre war this branch functioned as a kind of rural traffic police, but with the start of the war most were transferred to control of the military and were the precursors of the Feldgendarmerie, which most eventually became.
Here is a view of the front. The tunic itself is a well worn field tunic in a course enlisted grade wool. Clearly this tunic was an early war tunic most probably used by an officer detailed to act as field police for the military.
