WH (Heer) M36 Artillery Officer's Greatcoat
WH (Heer) M36 Artillery Officer's Greatcoat (Wachmantel). The Greatcoat belonged to the standard equipment of every soldier. The greatcoat could be worn in cold weather or rain and all other conceivable situations. The field-grey woolen construction greatcoat is having a dark-green collar, the greatcoat is partly lined with tan coloured lining material. It has two rows of six front closure buttons and the greatcoat also has a single metal hook and eye at the neckline. The greatcoat is complete with shoulder-boards of the sew-in type as intended for a 'Leutnant der Artillerie' (Artillery Officer). A paymaster-candidate ie. administrative-NCO's trade badge (Zahlmeister-Anwärter/Verwaltungs-Unteroffizier Tätigkeitsabzeichen) is sewn to the wearer's right lower sleeve. The early greatcoat is nicely maker marked and dated 1933 (M33). The greatcoat is showing various size markings (Chest size 94cms) and some unit markings for a 'Artillerie-Regiment'. The greatcoat is in good worn condition with some normal traces of usage and some small (moth)damages, see photos. Nice original greatcoat in good condition!
