Hello guys, here is a photo showing the stamped markings on the inside of a tunic. Which number indicates the size? The E.37? Or maybe that number indicates the year of production?
Thanks in advance.

E is depot incription indicates Erfurt and year 1937
100 is a waist , 45 is a back lenght up to the waist belt, 43 is a neck, 69 is cuff length and 90 must be full tunic's length, that is looks like a parade tunic measurement

Markings on your tunic reflect:45=length of jacket, 100 = width of chest,43 = collar size, 90 =width of body,69 = arm length and the E37 =Issue depot Erfurth 1937.
Hope this helps

Thanks Dimas. Yes it is a medic waffenrock. I was told that because it's army issue and not private purchase it's called a kammerrock.
