Germany, Wehrmacht. A Generalmajor (Major General) Service Tunic

(Wehrmacht Generalmajor Uniformrock). This is an extremely well-preserved Wehrmacht Generalmajor service tunic, constructed from a fine quality private purchase field-gray woven exterior, with a rayon-blended interior lining. The collar is constructed of dark green wool which contrasts the rest of the tunic. It is adorned by a set of Generalmajor collar tabs, constructed of gold aluminum bullion wire embroidery in the traditional “scrambled egg” shape, with a dark green wool backer. Each shoulder is adorned with shoulder boards constructed of a row of interwoven strands of Russian braiding in silver bullion wire, flanked by double rows of gold-coloured celluloid interwoven strands on either side in an interlocking weave pattern. On the right breast is a fine quality bullion eagle, constructed of rolled, twisted, and flat hand embroidered gilt stitching, placed onto a dark green wool backer. The neck end of each board with a loop for placement upon a uniform button, sewn onto a red fabric underside. The front of the tunic bears four stylized pockets, two per breast, each closed by a reinforced buttonhole meeting a pebbled gilt metal (magnetic) button. Above the top left pocket are six stitches to accommodate a medal ribbon bar, with two more stitches on the left pocket to accommodate a decoration with a horizontal pinback. The breasts of the jacket are closed by six reinforced buttonholes meeting an equal number of gilt pebbled metal (magnetic) buttons. The cuff of each sleeve is rolled up to a depth of 154 mm and held securely in place by a single piece of stitching at the rear of the sleeve. The interior, afforded a silky smooth texture by the rayon-blended material, is met at the arms by a white and grey pinstripe liner constructed of identical material. There is a single interior pocket located at the top left breast, opening with a reinforced horizontal slit. The tunic measures approximately 44 cm across the shoulders, while the sleeves measure approximately 60 cm in length, with an overall body length of 79 cm. With overall only extremely minor fatigue from wear, including light fraying and soiling on the interior liner at the armpits, it is otherwise ideally preserved and is in an overall extremely fine condition.
