This is a nice original so-called 'Buitenmodel' tunic grouping as intended for a 1st Lieutenant within the 'Geneeskundige Dienst' (Medical Service). The grouping is consisting of his tunic, breeches and Kepi as found together. The 'buitenmodel' tunic is a privately purchased tunic in field green-grey woolen cloth. The tunic is having the blue branch-colour piping which indicates Infantry. The tunic has two metal silver stars attached to each collar tip which indicates the rank of a '1e luitenant' (1st Lieutenant), medical service insignia are nicely hand-embroiderd to both sides of the collar. The tunic is not visible maker marked. The tunic comes with a period red cross armband. The breeches are having the Infantry blue piping down the outside leg seams. Both the tunic and pants are showing normal traces of usage and some damages and repairs, see photos for details. The set is complete with an officer's grade Kepi having double golden piping, the Kepi is showing some moth damage, see photos. Overall a nice original grouping!

This tunic originates from the collection of the recently closed Eyewitness Museum and was in display in the diorama in the last picture!
