WW2 German 115th Panzergrenadier Officer Tunic

Original ww2 German summer weight officer’s field tailor made tunic, made from Russian tent canvas material with green corduroy collar. Also worth noting, the Russian canvas material used was lend-lease from the U.S. Officer collar tabs with (faded) green piping denote panzergrenadier, with shoulder boards unit marked 115th.

The 115th Panzergrenadier Regiment (motorized infantry of the 15th Panzergrenadier Division) saw action in Sicily, Salerno, Cassino, Anzio, and in the Battle of the Bulge.

Tunic is in fair but salty condition, subjected to fading and some repairs from wear in the field. Good example of an officer’s combat tunic with two award loops and original ostfront + ek2 ribbon. Upon inspection under black light, none of the cloth material or threads are flourescent – the bullion on the shoulder boards do glow but the underlying cloth material and base of the wire does not, indicating they have probably been cleaned at some point.
