WH (Heer) EM's M43 Field Blouse

Description

Wehrmacht (Heer) EM's M43 Field Blouse (Feldbluse M43). The M43 field blouse was basically a continuation of the modifications of the M33 field blouse which had evolved into the M36, the M40 and the M42 field blouses. The separate belt support hook suspenders have now been replaced by short integral straps. This is a nice Italian gabardine construction field blouse, it has 6 front closure buttons and the recognizable four, non-pleated, front pockets. The tunic is lacking a pair of collar hooks. The field blouse is having a nicely original period applied factory machine-sewn M44 style BeVo-woven breast-eagle and a pair of original machine-sewn collar-tabs. The collar-tabs are having the basic generic grey branch colour, the different branches of service within the German army were allocated a particular identifying 'Waffenfarbe' (branch of service) color which was generally displayed on the collar tabs. An exception to this rule were the general service collar tabs (Einheitskragenspiegel) for EM/NCO personnel that did not utilize the branch of service color enabling them to be worn by personnel serving in all branches of service. Shoulder-board loops and buttons are present. The right, front-closure panel lining is marked with blue ink size markings (chest-size 88cms) and the tunic is nicely RB.Nr. marked and dated 1944 (E44). The field blouse is in very good near mint condition, see photos. Hard to find original gabardine construction M43 field blouse in stunning condition!
