Description
This is a simply wonderfully-conditioned, prewar, dark-blue enlisted man’s tunic from Landwehr District Nr 61. The Landwehr formed the reserves for the German army and was similar to the Army Reserve or National Guard in the U.S. The tunic’s exterior is a very high-quality, blue wool, in very fine condition. Its collar, sleeves and center trim are all red. It displays eight gilt buttons down the center, with matching buttons on the sleeves, shoulder straps, and rear vent. The shoulder straps are also red, with white thread depicting “61” for the regimental designation. The interior is lined in silk. Thus this was a privately purchased tunic, not depot-issued. If you are looking for an ultra-high-quality enlisted man’s tunic in superb condition, you need look no further. [This tunic was initially described as being from Infanterie-Regiment Nr 61 which is incorrect. Thank you to TS].
