Worn but not abused WWII German Officer dark grey leather overcoat. It has definitively seen field wear, but no rips or tears in the exterior. The interior is good to very good, and has provisions for a winter liner, but this one has none. All but one of the buttons are covered in the same leather material as the coat. Only one has been replaced with a commercial dark brown leather overcoat button. It has the proper overcoat shank and removeable metal ring. Appears it could be a field replacement, but who knows. The shoulderboards are for an Oberleutnant of the 117th IR. Additional photos are available on request
This is an early ,,Teller" style gaberdine peaked cap that has been owner-modified to mimic a crusher style peaked cap. This was commonly done in the field to achieve that jaunty, veteran look. This cap has the fine silver wire weave eagle and wreath/cockade. The wreath and the eagle appear to be meticulously hand applied. Both have that "settled in" look one would expect (and hope) to see in a 85 year old cap. The sweatband is genuine leather, and is ink-stamped on the underside. The stamp is difficult to read, but is oblong with a date of 1938. That's all I can make out. There are a few stitches of non-matching green thread applied in a couple of very small areas on the inside of the sweat band to replace failed factory thread, but that is the only detractor. The leather is complete, still quite soft, and pliable. The center stiffener has been broken (not removed) and the sides on either side of the peak have been pinched in. The resultant "crusher peak" has been preserved all this
