U-123  Reichsheer Tunic, Period Converted to Third Reich, for Light Infantry (Jager) Unit Member
This interesting tunic is produced in soft, quality green wool. There is minor wear and discoloration from use as well as a few very small holes and areas of tracking. There are four pockets scalloped flaps, the breast pockets are pleated while the hip pockets are hidden. The tunic has turn-back cuffs and lightly padded shoulders. It has a six-button closure (seam piped in green) with a twin metal hook and loop closure at the neck. All buttons are nickel/silver finished pebbled metal, including those for the belt ramp and shoulder boards. There is a green badge cloth collar which has a beautiful set of machine applied tabs of light green badge cloth with nicely toned twin columns. The sew-in shoulder boards are produced in dark green badge cloth with light green piping and the number 17 machine embroidered onto each in green cloth. Stamped underneath the left breast pocket is “Geprüft 10./J.R. 1” indicating the owner was assigned to a Jager (Light Infantry) Unit, of course the piping and cipher back up that information. There is a handsome early breast eagle of silver flatwire over light tan, which has been properly hand applied to the tunic. The interior is fully lined in a brownish-purple cloth, which is near excellent with just slight wear and discoloration. Stamped onto the lower seam of the tunic, both on the left and the right side by the closure seams, is the identical stamping as seen under the pocket. These are very clear and legible, reading “Geprüft 10./J.R. 17”. The sleeves are each fully lined in striped white cloth. The tunic is a size 38/40. This is the type of item you really wish could talk to you! A great looker.
