Army (Heer) first pattern tropical ‘Afrikakorps’ Feldbluse in green 1942

Description

Hard to find first pattern DAK Feldbluse in light worn condition executed in green canvas cloth. Complete with all of its original insignia attached. Comes with a rare pair of original and matching light blue piped transport shoulder boards, worth a small fortune on their own today! The jacket is nicely marked inside and dated F42 (Frankfurt 1942) but the depot stamp still reads F41 (1941), so must have been made around the new year of 1941. It is maker marked by Idarer Kleiderhalle. Sleeves looks period shortened and the right one shows a beautiful applied Afrikakorps cufftitle. A specialty badge was removed, but still shows a shadow. A small period repair is visible on the lower back. A beautiful and very desirable jacket nowadays!
