Polizei 'Drillich' Field Blouse

Description

German Police 'Drillich' (HBT) Field Blouse (Feldbluse) The police were divided into eight assorted branches of service and during the restructuring the different police agencies were assigned specific identifying 'Truppenfarbe' (Branch Colors), with green truppenfarbe being allocated to the 'Schutzpolizei des Reichs' (National Protection Police). The German Police had no enlisted ranks with the lowest rank being an 'Unterwachtmeister' which was equivalent to the German army rank of Unteroffizier. This is a nice late war police tunic as intended for an 'Unterwachtmeister der Schutzpolizei'. The field blouse has four pleated-pockets with straight flaps and field-grey finished, pebbled metal buttons. There is a six-button front closure using the same type of buttons. There is a lay flat collar with a metal hook and loop neck closure. The tunic has buttons and loops for slip-on shoulder boards.The tunic comes with a pair of slip-on shoulder-boards as intended for an 'Unterwachtmeister', a pair of BeVo-woven collar-tabs is nicely machine-sewn to the collar. A nicely BeVo-woven police eagle is machine-sewn to the wearer's left sleeve. The interior is unlined, with grey rayon used for reinforcements at the seams and the small bandage pocket on the lower right. The field blouse is nicely 'Po' (Polizei) marked, maker marked with a RB.Nr.,  size marked (chest size 88cms) and dated '45' indicating production in 1945. The field blouse is in mint and unissued condition showing minimal traces of storage. Stunning and hard to find original Polizei 'Drillich' field blouse!
