WH (Heer) 'Pionier' M35 Dress Tunic (Wehrmacht Parade-Waffenrock) as intended for a 'Spieß' within the 'Pionier-Bataillon 49'. The M35 dress tunic was introduced for wear by all ranks on 29 June 1935 as the walking out, parade and ceremonial dress with stone grey long pants. The design of the M35 dress tunic was based on the Imperial German army’s service tunic. Originally all personnel were issued two M35 dress tunics but manufacture was discontinued somewhere around 1940 as a result of the war. The different branches of service within the German army were allocated a particular identifying 'Waffenfarbe' (branch of service) color, this tunic is piped in black as intended for a NCO within an Engineers (Pioniere) unit. The tunic is having a nicely flat-wire woven type breast-eagle hand-sewn to the wearer's right breast, the tunic is having a pair of collar-tabs nicely machine sewn to the collar. Silver NCO braid is machine-sewn around the collar. The tunic is complete with a pair of original sew-in type shoulder boards, the shoulder boards are showing the cyphers '49', indicating an 'Hauptfeldwebel' within the 'Pionier-Bataillon 49'. A pair of silver NCO Braid rings (Piston Rings) is sewn to each lower sleeve indicating that this NCO was the company's 'Spieß' (Hauptfeldwebel). A hand-embroidered 'Steuermann' Trade Badge is attached to the wearer's left sleeve. This was a qualification badge as worn by pilots of smaller waterway assault boats (Steuermann), typically combat engineers. The patch is showing a neatly hand-embroidered helm-wheel on an anchor in bright silver wire-threads on a dark-green wool base. The tunic is nicely maker marked by the tailor 'Thofern' from Hann.Münden. The tunic is in overall very good condition with some regular traces of usage. The tunic comes together with a pair of stone grey long pants. The pants are in clearly used condition showing some staining and repairs, see photos. Great original Waffenrock & Pants in good used condition!
