WAFFEN-SS TROPICAL UNIFORM
SOLD!
Wonderful Waffen-SS Tropical "Sahariana" Field Blouse (SS Tropen Feldbluse), used, for an Artillery NCO.
Because of the service in tropical regions in the Balkans, Greece and southern Russia the SS developed in circa 1942/43 assorted tropical uniforms and headgear that basically followed the same patterns of the continental items. Included with the tropical garments was the "Sahariana" style field blouse which was based on the popular Italian "Sahariana" bush jacket.
The tunic shows a vertical, four button front closure, complete with all buttons. The field blouse’s shoulder strap fabric retaining tunnel loops are present. The interior of the field blouse has a field dressing pocket with a single button closure to both the left and right side. The field blouse is showing traces of usage and some stains, and has a great patina.
Tunic is complete of its original yellow arm eagle (that is machine sewn the the sleeve) and has a nice pair of shoulder straps with red rayon piping for Artillery troops. Tunic is a very nice combat one.
A wonderful and in excellent condition Waffen-SS tropical tunic.
