A German Second World War artillery Waffenrock, the dress tunic, offered together with its visor cap. The tunic is in good condition with a few small moth holes at the left cuff and some discoloration across both shoulders. The shoulder boards are those of an Oberfeldwebel, a senior sergeant rank, with the unit number 17 intact. A marksmanship lanyard is present and the right sleeve carries a troop saddlery trade patch with piping. The maker tag is too worn to read.

The visor is also graded good, with minor wear to the leather sweatband and no maker's mark inside. As a matched tunic-and-cap set with rank, unit and trade insignia all in place, it suits a South Carolina collector assembling a World War II German display or dressing a museum-style mannequin. The unreadable tag means the maker cannot be verified, so weigh the piece on the insignia and the cloth.
