WH (Heer) Dress Tunic (Wehrmacht Parade-Waffenrock) with orange coloured piping as intended for an 'Unteroffizier' within a 'Recruiting/Feldgendarmerie' unit. The M35 dress tunic was introduced for wear by all ranks on 29 June 1935 as the walking out, parade and ceremonial dress with the piped, stone grey long pants. The design of the M35 dress tunic was based on the Imperial German army’s service tunic. Originally all personnel were issued two M35 dress tunics but manufacture was discontinued somewhere around 1940 as a result of the war. The different branches of service within the German army were allocated a particular identifying 'Waffenfarbe' (branch of service) color, this tunic is piped in orange as intended for a member within a either a 'recruiting' or a 'Feldgendarmerie' unit. The tunic is showing a nicely hand-applied flat-wire woven breast-eagle, the tunic is complete with a pair of machine-sewn collar-tabs. Shoulderboard loops and buttons are present. The tunic is showing size marks and is dated 1937, there is also a late-war RB.Nr. inside the tunic, for what purpose or reissue is not clear to me. The tunic is showing only minimal traces of usage and age and is in overall very good condition. Desirable original and rarely seen orange piped Dress Tunic!
