Imperial German M1915 Enlisted Greatcoat

Tailored from feldgrau wool, this Imperial German Model 1915 enlisted greatcoat features a contrasting brown wool collar, deep turn-back cuffs, two slash side pockets, and a full rear box pleat with an open vent. Ten field-gray metal buttons secure the double-breasted front. A button backmarked reads "DEUTSCHE ARBEIT" (German Labor/Workmanship). The greatcoat remains complete and structurally sound, exhibiting honest service wear including scattered moth damage to the wool, fraying and loss at the collar edge, and light age-related wear throughout. It is a solid example of the standard late-war Imperial German enlisted overcoat. Chest measures 44 inches. Condition shows field wear and age, including scattered moth holes to the lower skirt and front, fraying along the collar edge, stitching wear to the collar undersides, and light surface dirt. BP
