Uniforms

Textbook Heer/Waffen-SS issue turtleneck sweater. These sweaters can be observed on many period images and can be a nice touch to any mannequin. Even when it is damaged and like this one it is still perfect for a mannequin especially being a turtleneck example which will always be visible underneath a tunic, smock, fliegerbluse or wrapper. Hard to find!

These sweaters have just been found in a cloth processing plant which was closed down in the 1960’s and was found with many German uniforms. Fresh on the market, never been in a collection!

Nice original ‘hard edged’ ’43 Sumpftarn sniper smock with face veil. Late war smock designed for wear and use by Scharfschützen in the Wehrmacht. The smock is in light worn condition and has a number of period repairs which are typical for a thin garment worn in densely wooded areas. The face veil is damaged but visible. The smock is a nice large size  fitting most if not all mannequins. The smock is complete with all buttons. A rare and surely combat worn smock with strong and vibrant colours!

Heer field blouse for a Leutnant der Aufklärung. This is a untouched recent woodwork find. The blouse was recently discovered in a clothing recycling plant and has never been in a collection before.

Waffen-SS M42 smock pocket flaps in Oakleaf camouflage. The pocket flap was sewn closed and then removed from a smock at some point. Typical M42 type with slanted pocket. Hard to find spare part or study object as is.

Rare Heer M36 NCO field blouse with plastic tunic buttons in excellent condition. The field blouse started its life as a factory M40 pattern field blouse which was period tailored with a dark green collar, mounted Litzen and a mounted flatwire BeVo breast eagle. The garment is in near mint condition with most if not all of the fluff in the wool. The interesting detail in the blouse is the implementation of the rare plastic tunic buttons on the front, excluding the shoulderboard buttons. It is unsure why these buttons were introduced but my guess is that it is a prototype or trial run. The buttons are the same size as the regulars but the construction is different. They are single piece moulded examples in green plastic. I have seen several loose buttons of this type but I have never seen a full set on a field blouse. Even it’s because of the details; but these buttons are of the utmost rarity. The blouse retains the insignia for a Unteroffizier der Infanterie. The blouse is a good medium size for modern mannequins and would be hard to upgrade!

Late war German Pullover in good used condition. This is a typical late war product produced from recycled wool. The wool has many coloured fragments of recycled garments.

Nice late war accesory for any Heer or Waffen-SS mannequin!

It comes with the shoulderstraps for a Unteroffizier der Artillerie. The blouse is dated 1940 and is probably one of the last M36 field blouses produced. Hard to find in this condition!

Rare Heer Officer M36 field blouse for a Leutnant der Veterinär. This is a enlisted mens field example, not a tailor made dress blouse. The blouse is in good, worn condition with all wartime sewn insignia. Interestingly the collar tabs are sewn directly over the issue EM/NCO litzen. The breast eagle is a typical Bullion example, machine sewed to the garment. There are also wartime added shoulder reinforcements inside the garment. The shoulderstraps are typically carmine coloured examples with a additional grey underlay. The field blouse is in excellent only lightly worn condition and is a rare variant with this set of wartime sewn insignia. Some light mothing here and there; but most of the nap retains in the wool. The garment originally came out of a household clearing in Vienna. Hard to find, example which displays nicely!
