WH Reissued Dutch Field Blouse for a ROA Volunteer

Description

Wehrmacht Reissued Dutch Field Blouse (Feldbluse) as intended for a Russian Volunteer of the 'Russian Liberation Army' or 'POA' (Русская освободительная армия). This was orignally a Dutch pre-war, so-called 'Grove Stof' combat tunic. The tunic has been reissued in the German Army and has been modified for Wehrmacht usage, two lower pockets have been sewn to the tunic, closed by the standard pebbled type wehrmacht buttons. There is a seven-button front closure using the same type of buttons. A lay flat collar with a metal hook and loop neck closure has been added to the tunic. The field blouse is having a hand-sewn original applied BeVo-woven breast-eagle. The collar is having original machine-sewn general service collar tabs as introduced in 1938. 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 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. The tunic is complete with shoulder-board loops and buttons. The tunic is complete with a nice pair of 'POA' Volunteer Shoulder-board. The boards are constructed of dark-green coloured wool, having the red coloured 'silk-like' type piping. The red branch-colour (Truppenfarbe) is signifying that they board was intended for a volunteer of the 'Russian Liberation Army'. The POA was also known as the 'Vlasov Army' former Red Army general Andrey Vlasov. A printed 'POA' volunteer shield is sewn to the wearer's left sleeve. The insignia have been replaced once. The interior is the standard Dutch grey-coloured cotton lining material. The tunic is nicely marked and dated with 'CM39' indicating production in 1939.  The field blouse is in used and worn condition, there is some staining and there are some small damages, see photos. Nice original Wehrmacht Volunteer tunic in good used condition!!
