KM Coastal Artillery Field Blouse
Kriegsmarine 'Küstenartillerie' (Coastal Artillery) Field Blouse (Feldbluse). Beginning in 1935 Kriegsmarine land based personnel, primarily Coastal Artillery units, were issued field-grey uniforms that followed the fundamental designs of the army uniforms with minor variations. The tunic has two, pleated, breast pockets and two horizontal slash hip pockets. The field blouse is having a pair of BeVo-woven EM's Coastal Artillery collar tabs neatly period machine-sewn to the collar. The tunic is complete with a nicely hand-applied (re-applied) BeVo-woven breast-eagle. The field blouse is complete with shoulder-board loops and buttons and is complete with a pair of EM's type Coastal Artillery shoulder-straps. The tunic is lined in grey/tan coloured cotton. The field blouse is nicely size marked (chest-size 90cms) and maker marked by the company 'R.Wetter & Söhne' and dated June 1941. The tunic is showing some minor traces of years of storage. Hard to find original Coastal Artillery Field Blouse in very good, near mint, condition!
