#7412-KRIEGSMARINE OFFICERS TROPICAL TUNIC:  Pre-war pattern lightweight tropical tunic is produced of medium weight tan cotton twill. It has a stand up collar, six-button front and four pleated patch pockets with flaps. The removable buttons, in painted tropical color are an upgrade from the prescribed gilt buttons. It has the correct, slip-in “T” form boards of silver braid on a black wool base with the single pip of an Oberleutnant and held in place by sewn on buttons. The right breast has a set of braided loops that hold the pin backed, gilt eagle of die-forged construction. The tunic is correctly unlined and retains what appears to be the laundry number of the original wearer. Shows light wear and some age toning to its shoulder boards.
