U-122 Model 1940 Army NCO Lightweight Canvas
Tropical Tunic
This interesting tunic is produced in a green canvas that is
lightweight and water resistant. There is some minor discoloration and wear
throughout from use. A few tiny holes are seen as well. The tunic has four
pleated pockets with scalloped flaps. There are six closure buttons; all buttons
on the tunic are greenish-brown finished pebbled metal. This can be worn with a
closed collar, as there is a hook and loop provision. A set of NCO slip-on
shoulder boards are included. These are produced in a dark green badge cloth and
have a bright silver tresse around all but the bottom, indicating they were for
an Unteroffizier. They are piped in red for Artillery. There is a green badge
cloth collar which has a matte grey tresse around the front and lower area of
the collar. A set of “generic” machine woven collar tabs are seen over a
dark green backing. These have been machine applied to the collar. A machine
woven breast eagle is seen as well. This BeVo example is woven in white cloth
(minor discoloration) over a dark green backing and has been machine applied to
the tunic. Based on the method of application, we feel the collar tabs and
the breast eagle had been collector reapplied. The interior is unlined and unmarked. It is a fairly large size,
fitting like a 40. This desirable tunic is in above average condition and priced
to sell at
$995.00
