Heer field blouse for a Oberleutnant der Panzergrenadiere

Textbook privately purchased Heer field blouse for a Oberleutnant der Panzergrenadiere. The field blouse retains all of its original insignia for a Oberleutnant der Panzergrenadiere. The collar tabs are originally Heer Infanterie which were later coloured to the Panzergrenadier Waffenfarbe. This is a very common feature for Panzergrenadier officer collar tabs, shoulderstraps and visor piping. The reason is that these Panzergrenadier units first started out as Infanterie (Motorisiert), later to be renamed to Panzergrenadier – with a new Waffenfarbe colour. Whilst some soldiers changed out insignia many just recoloured parts of the Waffenfarbe in their uniforms. The garment is in nice, lightly worn condition. There is a set of award loops on the left breast pocket. A nice original field blouse in good worn condition!
