Original Item: Only One Available. This is a excellent condition Heer Medical Oberarzt Officer's M35 Waffenrock Dress Tunic. The base material of the uniform is made of a fine feldgrau colored wool. The wool shows signs of only light use, with just a few small moth holes, and no major wear or tears. It features eight silvered pebbled buttons on the right front closure, which are all in very good condition, which match to an equal number of reinforced button holes on the left side. They are sewn directly to the fabric, and look to all be maker marked on the back. There are an additional two "hook and loop" clasps at the collar. The breast features a hand embroidered silver bullion thread eagle, sewn to a dark bottle green wool backer. The eagle is without damage and is very neatly hand stitched to the chest in a fashion typical of wartime German tailor work.

The collar is wrapped in a flaschengrün (dark bottle-green) "badge cloth" wool, and the base material of the two bullion officer's dress litzen on each side of the collar opening is Medizinblau (Medical Blue), which was the Waffenfarbe (corps color) during WWII for the Heer Sanitätstruppe (Military medical service). The collar, front closure, and other areas of the tunic bear piping of the same color. The two litzen themselves are woven from a fine silver flatware thread on blue backgrounds. The collar and its insignia are without any noticeable damage or mothing. The lower French style cuffs of the sleeves have the correct green wool base, and are adorned with the correct white piping and litzen matching the collar.

The “sew-in” style Schulterklappen (shoulder straps) of this Waffenrock are constructed with two rows of fine silver flatware "Russia Braid" double piping and have the correct blue bases that protrude around the edges. Each bear a single gold rank "pip" installed along with gold "Rod of Asclepius" medical cyphers, for junior medical officer rank of Oberarzt (Senior Physician), equivalent to a U.S. Army 1st Lieutenant. We can also see two thread loops on the left chest for attachment of an award, now removed.

The interior is lined with a very nice olive colored cotton rayon blend, with a vertical slash pocket just inside the closure on the left side. The sleeves are lined with fine blue striped white rayon, as usually seen on officer tunics. There is an internal belt to help give it a better profile, which is not adjustable. There are the remains of a rayon tailor label at the rear, however it is literally falling apart and very little remains. We cannot guarantee that there will be any of it left after being packed and shipped, as it is that delicate. There is however a clear maker label inside the slash pocket, which reads:-

J. TIPPEL, MÜNCHEN
LUDWIGSTRASSE 5
Herr Dr. M. Sattelmayer
den   24. Jan. 19 38

The label is printed with pen written particulars, and there is also № 71175 on the left side. We have not been able to locate any information on this person, but there is definitely some great potential for future research.

Overall condition of the Waffenrock is very good, showing light wear from service with some light mothing across the tunic. The buttons all match, and there do not look to have been any replaced. There is wear around the collar, one of the first places to show wear, but it is still solid. There is light moth nipping at the cuffs and the piping, which is typical.

This gorgeous Medical Senior Physician Officer's Waffenrock comes ready to out fit with some awards and display!
