Original Item: One-of-a-kind. This is a rare German WWII SS Herring Bone Twill constructed Drilljacke (Drill Work Jacket) issued to an NCO in the SS Supply Corps. This used but very good condition Drilljacke features five pebbled front buttons which are removable. The buttons are manufacturer marked with the letters T & G on the underside. Jacket features a pair of shoulder boards with loops and light blue piping (SS Supply Corps) with sewn-on corporal’s braids, SS Gas Protection NCO Specialist Sleeve Badge, and outline where SS sleeve eagle was once attached and Sergeant’s collar piping. The interior has no marking (worn away) but it does have a prominent ink stamp that reads 49323 with a blue border. This is a stamp from the Moscow Film Studio where this jacket was acquired in the early 1990s. IMA purchased this jacket directly from the Russian citizen that purchased it from the film studio. The jacket is 100% authentic in every aspect despite having been the property of a film studio wardrobe department.
