Wehrmacht Heer Panzer Leutnant Private Purchase Officer’s Field Tunic
Category:
€ 1.550,00
A very attractive private-purchase Heer officer’s field tunic for a Leutnant serving with the Panzertruppe.
The tunic is manufactured from fine-quality field-grey wool and features the characteristic dark green officer’s collar. It is fitted with officer-quality collar tabs displaying the distinctive pink Waffenfarbe of the Panzertruppe, together with matching sewn-in Leutnant shoulder boards with pink underlay.
The breast carries a finely hand-embroidered officer’s bullion eagle on a dark green backing. An Iron Cross 2nd Class ribbon is correctly worn through the buttonhole.
There are also medal loops present
The interior is fully lined in typical private-purchase fashion and retains its internal belt-support arrangement. Of particular interest is the surviving tailor’s label in the neck, marked “R. Höhne”. The label itself shows considerable wear and age.
The tunic remains in very good used condition, showing honest age and wear, particularly to the interior lining, while the exterior has been very well preserved. The insignia display a pleasing and consistent appearance with the tunic.
A desirable and increasingly difficult to find Panzer officer’s field tunic, combining the sought-after pink Waffenfarbe with attractive private-tailor construction and a surviving named tailor’s label.
A fine example for a Heer Panzer uniform collection.
