This M36 Heer Mountain troops Master Sergeant
(Oberfeldwebel) field blouse. Later war M42 modifications, dropped the pocket pleats entirely (making external pockets plain rectangular patch pockets with straight flaps) and lowered raw material quality, using coarser wool blends mixed with recycled fibers. Bottle green badge cloth collar with correct zig-zag stitching under it.. All of the insignia including the NCO rank Tresse are very neatly and expertly sewn to the tunic. The breast eagle is a 1937 pattern Machine-woven (BeVo) construction with a white German Army eagle on a dark bottle green background. The collar Litzen are the first pattern generic type from 1938, applied directly to the collar with green Mountain Troops piping NCO tresse. Slip-on shoulder boards with NCO tresse and two pips piped in green, tresse is bright aluminum type. Heeres 'Edelweiss' arm patch an embroidered example, is neatly hand sewn to the right sleeve, executed on a darker-green melton cloth. Specifically intended for use by the 'Gebirgsjäger Truppen'. The wool still retains nearly all of the original nap, and the pebbled aluminum buttons retain most of the original field gray painted finish. There are loops and buttons for slip-on shoulder boards. The breast pocket on the wearer’s left side has loops for two badges, and there is evidence of a ribbon being sewn in second buttonhole with the thread outline showing, most likely a Iron Cross 2nd Class ribbon. Inside, this M36 Heer NCO tunic is lined with a textbook taupe-colored twill fabric including the inside of the pocket flaps. It’s marked, with size stamps but the depot stamp and date are faded. The bandage pocket is stamped "RB: Nr.0/1322/0002. Reichsbetriebsnummer (National Census/Factory Code), introduced in late 1942 and used heavily from 1943 onward, three belt hook holes with the interior straps. There is some light stains on the lining and breast eagle, otherwise in very good condition with no moth nips, including under the collar. All stitching intact, except for a couple of loose threads on the right shoulder seam. All buttons present.
