Title Kriegsmarine officer's summer tunic eagle
Nationality German
Period c 1933-45
Sold

This was worn on the white summer tunic in tropical areas to enable easy washing of the tunic without disfiguring the eagle. Typically Mediterranean submarine officer crew can be seen wearing it in contemporary illustrations.

This example, electro-gilt on tombak, has the bulk of its gilding intact, with a little wear to the highlights, especially on the face of the swastika. There is no maker mark and there is a brass pin at the rear with a small securing hook for the tunic. The condition is excellent for its age.

Wanted to let you know the items arrived today. Great job on the packing. Too often I buy very expensive and irreplaceable items from the UK and they get sent barely packed to protect them from the various postal services - appreciate you going the extra mile to insure it arrived in the shape it left. Thanks again, look forward to doing business with you in the future. Items were very nice, exactly as offered.
