as worn by a 'Gefreiter' within the 'Artillery-Abteilung 55'. The M35 dress tunic was introduced for wear by all ranks on 29 June 1935 as the walking out, parade and ceremonial dress with the piped, stone grey long pants. The design of the M35 dress tunic was based on the Imperial German army’s service tunic. Originally all personnel were issued two M35 dress tunics but manufacture was discontinued somewhere around 1940 as a result of the war. The different branches of service within the German army were allocated a particular identifying 'Waffenfarbe' (branch of service) color, this tunic is piped in red (Rot) as intended for a soldier within an Artillery (Artillrie) unit. The tunic has a hand-embroidered type breast-eagle, the tunic is complete with a pair of collar-tabs and a pair of original sew-in shoulder boards, the shoulder boards are showing neatly hand-embroidered numbers '55',. A Gefreiter rank-chevron and signallers badge are hand-sewn to the wearer's left upper sleeve. . In my opinion all insignia have been re-applied. Award loops with Sportabzeichen included The tunic is showing normal traces of usage and age, there are a few small moth damages. Nice original Waffenrock in good used condition!
