H048694 COMBAT ENGINEER'S M35 OFFICER’S DRESS TUNIC CUFF LITZEN. (Ärmelpatten für Waffenrock)

BACKGROUND: The M35 dress tunic was introduced for wear by all ranks on June 29TH 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 but was a different color and generally of much higher quality. Originally all personnel were issued two M35 dress tunics but manufacture was discontinued in late 1939 or early 1940 and was to be reinstated at the successful conclusion of the war. Regulations of March 21ST 1940 stated that the M35 dress tunics that were no longer suitable for dress wear were to be modified and reissued to personnel of the replacement and reserve units for every day wear. The different branches of service within the army were allocated a specific, identifying, waffenfarbe, (Branch of Service Color), with black being chosen for Pionier, (Combat Engineer), personnel. On the M35 dress tunic the waffenfarbe was generally displayed on the edge of the front closure panels, the collar facings, the shoulder straps/boards and the collar tabs and the cuff facings.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: This group consists of four cuff ornamentation panels for the M35 Dress tunic. Uniform removed.
