Card of 24 mint tunic buttons marked BJ 42

Original 1942 dated Blaugrau buttons for Heer, Luftwaffe and SS. In 1943 a new einheitsfarbe meaning colour for all branches was introduced and used on all garments. This was never fully implemented but a large portion of the M43 and most if not all M44 tunics received these. From that date onwards Graublau was the new textbook colour for pebbled buttons on uniforms. These can be seen on original m42, m43 and m44 tunics, mantels and caps. Also the M43 tropical uniforms and Fliegerblusen featured these!
