Kriegsmarine NCO's Dress Tunic
Kriegsmarine NCO's Dress Tunic (Paradejacke). The dark navy-blue wool construction parade jacket is complete with all gold toned Kriegsmarine buttons. The jacket was designed to remain open with a retaining, shackle chain, with dual buttons, worn through the top button eyelets. The shackle chain is present. Both sleeve ends look to be missing two of the gold buttons. Unfortunately the breast eagle has been removed, the ghost of the eagle is clearly visible. A nice gold-toned metal administrative insignia (Verwaltungsmaat) insignia is sewn to the wearer's left sleeve. The jacket is marked with 'B.A.W.' (Bekleidungs Amt Wilhelmshaven) and dated 15 January 1936. Nice original Kriegsmarine Parade Jacket in good used condition, this would be a nice and affordable restauration project!
