Hi,

Is it an authentic RAD 6 button Drillich uniform ?

Any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks !

Looks similar for sure... Let's see what the others have to say.. G

Thanks - it matches the one discussed on WAF, but the other one was in a really bad shape.

I really would like this item more if it had a Rad stamp or Gau affiliation.. But it certainly is of Herringbone construction IMO... G

The upper part of the stamp is hard to make up from the photos.
The construction and material matches IMO.

Definitely a good candidate.. G

According the discription there was no RAD or Gau-stamp to be included.

Shown is a small part from the 1939 RAD handbook-regulation, which
describes how to stamp for the RAD Drillich-tunic:



It looks as the tunic is from April 1939 (4 39). Note the three different types
of material these tunics were made from.

Typical chevron, with coton lining different weaving.
A focus on the pocket can help.

Thanks for the help !

I pulled the trigger and will have it in a week or so.

Will post better photos once at hand.

Thank you all for help again !

Ok, so it arrived. Here are better photos of the markings and the single pressed paper button inside the flap.

Thanks for the help again !
