I really want your opinions about this buckle. Thank you for your time, friends.
After braving the heat at W&P yesterday, I came back with a lot more money and a lot less militaria than I was expecting to. I saw many things of interest, but it was simply too uncomfortable to stand in the sweltering marquees looking through it all. In the end I gave up browsing and headed for my main goal. I’m pleased to say that after many weeks of looking at photographs of it, I was finally able to bring it home!
An M42/43 tunic for a soldier in a Gebirgsjäger (Mountain Troops) Artillerie unit. A nice clean tunic with minimal moth damage, and just a few small tears and dirt that you’d expect from field use. On the upper right sleeve is the Gebirgsjäger edelweiss patch, still nice and bright with no fading. And on the lower left hand sleeve, not mentioned in the website listing, a bronze driver’s badge with just a bit of light oxidization.
The owner of this tunic was awarded the E.K.II. at some point, and there are loops on the breast pocket for various other awards. I have added a black wound badge since taking these photographs, and may add an Allgemeines Sturmabzeichen in future.
I was planning on acquiring a set of Y-straps and a belt at the same time, but the dealer hadn’t brought any webbing equipment along to the show. I will be purchasing them separately online once the dealer returns home.
Regards, B.B.
