WWII German Model 1942 Army Tunic for “Unteroffiziervorschule”-This is a very interesting uniform with some great features. It is produced in field grey wool that is excellent, showing just a hint of tracking, wear and discoloration. It was modified to mimic the model 1936 tunic with the addition of a dark green, badge cloth collar (few nips) and pleats to the pockets. This fashion statement was commonly done and can be seen in many period photos. There are 4 pockets with scalloped flaps. There is a six button closure and all buttons are green finished, pebbled metal. All have full finish and are originally applied. The collar has a set of generic, machine woven tabs over dark green badge cloth. They are machine applied. The sew in shoulder boards are very scarce! They are produced in dark green badge cloth with white piping. Machine stitched to the face in white are the letters “UV” for “unteroffiziervorschule” (NCO school) and there are small tresse straps (NCO candidate). Very nice! The machine woven breast eagle has been professionally reapplied. The right sleeve has an “unteroffiziervorschule” cuff band that is hand applied. It is produced in green rayon with the machine woven script in piping. The interior is partially lined in greenish brown rayon. The blouse appears to have even ever so slightly shortened. The only interior pocket is for field dressing. There are 4 woven belt hook straps. The right-side closure seam is boldly ink stamped with the size information and RBNr number with the date of production listed as F 42. It is a size medium. A great example with many fine characteristics!
