Waffen-SS M43 Field Blouse

Description

Stripped 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 The separate belt support hook suspenders have now been replaced by short integral straps.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 small pouch for the bandage package is missing. The right, front-closure panel lining is marked with size-stamps (chest-size 92cms) and dated 1943. The field blouse is showing normal traces of usage, some staining and some minor moth damages, see photos. This would make a great restauration project for an SS field blouse. Original Waffen-SS field blouses are almost impossible to find nowadays and hardly ever offered for sale. Textbook original Waffen-SS M43 field blouse!
