early Bundesmarine tunic

[Seewolf]

Hi to all here

Last week i received this nice and unusual Bundesmarine tunic. In my eyes unusual because this one has 8 knobs and usual would have been 6 knobs. Looks like it is one between a KM tunic and the normal modern tunics.

The rings around the arm (Kolbenringe) are 16mm wide and the knobs are made by Assmann. The tunic is made by the taylor "Geiger, Kiel" and is dated 6.11.62 !!!

Is that now a tunic for a Kapitänleutnant ( early first style) or for a Oberleutnant (till today style)

I like this one very much it´s finally not one of the modern ones you can find so often at ebay.

Did i noticed all at this one or are there things that i didn´t saw ??

All comments are appreciated

A very nice BM tunic! Only differs from the standard by having the fourth button.
There are still only 3 actual functioning button holes on the front and no buttonholes in the lapels.

Gents,
I'm reasonably certain the Bundesmarine officer jackets have always had just 6 buttons. Possibly this is a Handelsmarine or Wasserschutzpolizei jacket?

Would those organizations have had the "line star" on the sleeves? Would really like to know!
