Gents,

 

I am showing a Werkschutz Summer Officer tunic at the request of a member.  This is a lightly lined Summer weight open collar tunic made in salt 'n pepper fabric.  Several slightly different colored forms of this woven fabric were manufactured in Italy for the use of German Paratroopers and the Police during the war.  This is the black/white woven format that looks grey from a distance.  Notice the narrow Green backed Leutnant shoulder boards specific to the Werkschutz. Also notice the Officer style Werkschutz sleeve patch made in salt 'n pepper fabric with bullion highlights.  

 

These Werkschutz (Factory Protection Police) uniforms are quite scarce.  The salt 'n pepper sleeve patches are also scarce.

 

 

Great piece.  Rich A. in Pa.

Another very rare piece of uniform history, thanks for sharing!

I’ve had the sleeve patch before but I’ve never seen the tunic. Thanks for the education.

Examples of the Werkschutz sleeve patches and cuff titles.  The cuff titles were not always worn as with this tunic that does not have cuffs.  Similar cuff titles were worn by "Werkfeuerwehr" Fire suppression services.  

 

 

Beautiful piece in a good condition. Thank you for posting.
