February 12, 20251 yr #1 This is the only WWII German uniform in my collection. I purchased it in 1970 at the Greensburg gun show in Greenburg PA. For a short time I thought I might focus on this type of uniform, but shifted to American uniforms not long after. I do not know a whole lot about these uniforms, but it is very well made. I will let the photographs speak for themselves.
February 12, 20251 yr #2 A fabulous Waffenrock! The golden star on the shoulder boards is hard to find these days, so you got a nice piece right there!
February 12, 20251 yr #3 Very nice! I remember driving to that show from Pittsburgh when I was 16. The snow was blowing so hard I was really afraid I was going to wreck the car but just as quickly as it started it stopped.
February 13, 20251 yr Author #4 Liebstandarte and Marchallj, thank you both for the very kind comments.
February 14, 20251 yr #6 Awesome uniform. Could you please post a close-up of one of the shoulder boards, thanks.

February 14, 20251 yr #8 Nice waffenrock….IAW policy…unit designation numbering (embroidered) and/or metal numbering were removed for security purposes….but again nice waffenrock.
February 15, 20251 yr #9 Thanks for posting more pics! Like Edelweisse I think the "Regimentsnummern" were removed. I also think that the stars were added subsequently (Feldwebel rank insignia silver braid shoud enclose the shoulder boards completely). Once again, a very nice Waffenrock in excellent condition.
