Unissued 3rd pattern tropical Tunic

[Aldo]

I finally found an affordable Tropical Tunic of the third type. I still need to locate some decent shoulder boards but I already have the cap and belt setup. I present my modest tropical display.

Wow, congrats Al, not my sphere, but I can guess the hard work here mate !
Regards
Paul

[Aldo]

Thank Paul, not my sphere either but I had to have one. The later pattern unissued tunics and caps are fairly abundant and within a reasonable range. It's when you get into the early DAK and worn tunics with all the insignia that it gets crazy. Tropical shoulder boards alone average $800 to $1000 depending on the branch.

He has to share a limited space with my Condor Legion pilot and a few unrelated fellas

Hey Al,

Your limited space is much bigger than mine! Congratulations on acquiring the tunic.

Cheers,
Steve

Hello,
I fixed the title of the thread for you...
That's a nice Tropenbluse on which you can use continental shoulderstraps (late war example)
Congrats
Thanks

Thank you I was looking for a basic pair of late war Infantry Shoulder straps like this in the meantime.




But I also found these roughly made m44 straps for signals

Nice ensemble, Al! Looking at your presentation, I suspect that you rarely get bored while dusting, right?

[Kohima]

Ooh, I’d go with the Signals... (maybe infantry is a little predictable?).
Plus, the Signals straps have the look of salvaged Italian cloth about them.
Either way, it’s a fabulous setup!
All the best,
Rob

Yes, It's the only chore I eagerly do

I think you're right Rob. I'll post a pic when I get them
