WWII German Army Waffenrock, Named to Medical Major-This handsome, private purchase waffenrock is named to a Dr, Grell with the date listed as 30. 5. 1939. Our sleuth Tom found a reference to a Stabsarzt Grell of 1. Sanitats-Kompanie 216 (216. Infanterie-Division) about 1942/43. This is produced in very soft, field grey doe skin wool that is in excellent condition. There is ever so slight discoloration and wear only. There is an eight button closure and all of the buttons are silver finished pebbled metal. Each edge of the closure seam is piped in cornflower blue, as is the front and lower edge of the green badge cloth collar, the tail and the green badge cloth French cuffs. The collar tabs are blue badge cloth with bright silver bullion columns and litzen. The sew in shoulder boards have a bright silver wire braid over cornflower blue badge cloth with a secondary underlay of light grey badge cloth (reserve). There is a button under the right side shoulder board for an aiguillette. Each has a medical cipher of gilt finished metal. The breast eagle is bright silver bullion with bright silver flat wire highlights over a dark green wool underlay. There are loops for a small ribbon bar on the left breast. There are cornflower blue cuff tabs with silver bullion columns and litzen. The interior is fully lined in green rayon. There is very minor wear and discoloration from use and age. There is a single pocket on the left side which is where the tailor tag with the name and date are located. There is a waist belt with a plated metal buckle. This is a size medium. Excellent!
