Dutch 'Buitenmodel' Tunic Grouping
This is a nice original so-called 'Buitenmodel' tunic grouping as intended for a 1st Lieutenant within the 'Korps Motordienst' (Motorcyclist). The grouping is consisting of his tunic and matching pair of breeches 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), motorcyclist's insignia are nicely hand-embroiderd to both sides of the collar. The unpiped breeches are maker marked by the tailor 'H.Doornink & Zn. B.v.' From Arnhem. Both the tunic and pants are showing normal traces of usage and some minor moth damages, see photos for details. Nice original Dutch 'Buitenmodel' tunic!
