U-121 Early Army Model 1936 Tunic for a Hauptmann
(Captain) as an Infantry Reservist
This is produced in a high quality, soft green wool that has some
minor discoloration. There are some minor holes/nips as well with some tracking
visible. However, overall this tunic is in very sound condition. There are
four external pleated pockets with scalloped flaps. The buttons are field grey
finished and pebbled. There is a five button closure with buttons that match the
ones for the pockets, except that they are bigger. The sew-in shoulder boards
have a matte face of flat wire with white piping. The grey underlay indicates
that the wearer was a Reservist. Each board has a pair of gilt metal pips and
ciphers that show the number “104”, indicating that the wearer was a
Reservist with the 104th Infantry Regiment. The dark green badge cloth collar
has a pair of Officer tabs, which have off white (from discoloration) columns of
flat wire with white cloth litzen over a medium green backing (early). These
have been machine applied to the collar. The Officer’s breast eagle is
produced with bright silver bullion over a dark green badge cloth backing. It
has been hand applied and is original to the tunic. There is a set of loops for
a single award on the left breast pocket, as well as loops for a small ribbon
bar. The interior is fully lined in green rayon which has some minor wear but is
very clean. The left side has a large internal pocket. The sleeves are lined in
a white cloth with grey stripes. There is a slot for a sword or a dagger. It’s
is a large size, 42. A sound example overall! Sorry
Choo Choo Jon; you were not fast enough with the throttle and this train has
left the station! You'd better be nice to your conductor!
