German WWII parade tunic. This tunic is the early style dress or parade tunic for an NCO in the Artillery. The tunic is a fine quality green wool, with a darkgreen collar. The tunic has the NCO dress tress around the collar and the collar tabs are red based with silver bullion wire centers. This tunic was made for the NCO and not a promotion tunic. Shoulderboards are sewn into the shoulder and are also darkgreen based with red piping, NCO silver bullion tress and a single silver pip to each. The breast eagle is hand sewn to the tunic and is the early style parade eagle in flatwire. Eight button front, silver pebbled buttons solid backed and size marked, all match. On the cuffs, they are also darkgreen with the NCO tress and red based insignia with two silver pebbled buttons each. On the sleeve is the trade patch for Weapons specialist. The tunic is fully lined in a grayish cotton material. The size stamps and the date are stamped inside B36. There are hand sewn padded sections under the arms. On the front are loops for a small ribbon bar and two medals or awards. Inside on the lower inner edge bottom are very faint markings, most likely museum stamps. In the liner, about 2 inches below the breast eagle on the otherside, are two sewn lines, not sure from what but are there. No mothing or wear on this tunic, two small hand repaired holes on the inner neck, but not easy to see. A very clean tunic and in excellent shape.
