Waffen-SS 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 The separate belt support hook suspenders have now been replaced by short integral straps.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 late-war wool/rayon blend construction field blouse, it has 5 front closure buttons and the recognizable four, non-pleated, front pockets. The field blouse is showing the typical SS-construction two holes for the belt support hooks. Shoulder-board loops and buttons are present. The field blouse is having grey coloured rayon lining material. The right, front-closure panel lining is marked with size-stamps (chest-size 98cms) and dated 1943. The field blouse is complete with factory sewn matching BeVo woven collar-tabs and a nicely machine-sewn BeVo woven sleeve-eagle. The field blouse is showing only some minor staining and some minimal traces of storage and was most likely never issued/worn, see photos. Original Waffen-SS field blouses are almost impossible to find nowadays and hardly ever offered for sale. Stunning textbook original Waffen-SS M43 field blouse in near mint condition!
