Here is a beautifully preserved private purchase "eigentumstück" Wehrmacht Heer (Army) Infantry Non-Commissioned Officer’s tunic, made from high-quality feldgrau gabardine. The tunic lacks exterior pockets but features eight aluminum-painted, pebble-grain cap buttons (magnetic) that run vertically along the front opening. On the opposite side, there are eight reinforced button-hole slits labeled “Extra Fein” on the reverse, along with two hook fasteners at the collar for a snug fit. The back vent is adorned with three matching buttons on each side.

This tunic includes a breast pocket, award loops, and a Wehrmacht breast eagle. All edges are trimmed with fine white Infantry Waffenfarbe (branch color) piping. The shoulder boards are made from Flaschengrün (bottle green) wool with white piping and a bluish-grey backing, sewn directly onto the uniform. The collar is also made of Flaschengrün wool and features Infantry NCO collar boards with aluminum/silver bullion machine embroidery and a white backing, complemented by matching cuffs.

*This tunic was brought back by one of General George Patton's personal secretaries, Sergeant Jack Case from Belgium and remained with his family for 65 years until it was purchased by a private collector from his wife in Rhode Island 1966.
