Re: Heer Infanterie Officers Feldbluse.
Hi Guys, thanks for the kind comments.
Actually the pics are perhaps a little bit deceptive, as the jacket does display some wear. The (inside lining) arm pit areas are well worn.
The "48" numerials display different amounts of gilding being left intact due to the gilt finish being absorbed by the zinc.
I forgot to add that it came complete with a screwback EKI, not shown in these pics, but shown separatly on the forum elsewhere.
Cheers, Ade.

Re: Heer Infanterie Officers Feldbluse.
Ade,
Would be nice to identify the owner, could have belonged to Oberstleutnant Kurt Winkler Panzergrenadier-Regiment 101 won the RK in 1945? An old jacket with previous units insignia. Too much speculation i know but....

Re: Heer Infanterie Officers Feldbluse.
Hi Donnie, nothing wrong with this kind of speculation
I have owned the tunic since about 1990. I have in the past tried to research the name. When the jacket was tailored he was a Ln.
The fragment of RK ribbon I only discovered 2 years ago (!) during one of my periodic inspections to check for any deterioration, moths etc.
If anyone could add any more detail on the officers name, please feel free!
Cheers, Ade.

Hopefully Kurt Winkler was an ex member of Inf Reg 48
