U-127 Army Artillery Captain (Hauptmann) Model
1936 Tunic and Pants
This great set includes a private purchase tunic produced in a good
quality, field grey wool. There is very minor discoloration, wear and tracking
throughout. There are four pleated pockets with scalloped flaps. The breast
pockets have two snaps, in addition to the button closure. There is a
five-button closure; all buttons are pebbled with a grey finish. There are two
hook and loop fasteners at the neck. The handsome, sew-in shoulder boards
indicate the rank of Hauptmann (Captain) with their two gilt finished metal pips
each. The red underlay doubles as the piping and indicates Artillery. Each board
has gilt (finished missing on two) metal “36” ciphers. The dark green badge
cloth collar shows moderate fading and minor wear. There are hand applied
Officer tabs with matte silver flat wire columns and red litzen over dark green
badge cloth. There is a striking Officer eagle in bright silver flatwire over
dark green badge cloth, this has been hand applied. Just above the left breast
pocket are loops for a medium sized ribbon bar. In the second button loop from
the top there are ribbons for both the WWI EKII (includes Spange) and the WWII
EKII. The interior is fully lined in green rayon, which shows minor wear and
discoloration only. There is a pocket on the left side and a built-in waist belt
with plated metal fittings. The tunic is a size 36. Also included are straight
leg trousers piped in red. They are produced in field grey wool that is slightly
darker than that of the tunic. There is minor wear and discoloration with some
minor tracking as well. These have slash type hip pockets with two rear pockets
that have scalloped flaps. There is a watch pocket with a metal ring. There are
cinch straps with metal buckles at each hip. There is a four-button fly with a
metal hook and loop closure (marked “trade mark”) at the waist. All buttons,
including the buttons for the suspenders, are produced in green Bakelite and
marked “solide elegant”. The waist reinforcement is produced in white
striped rayon with additional reinforcement and pocket bags being produced in
grey rayon. The pants are a size 34. A great set, ready for a mannequin!
