Reichsbahn uniform and insignia identification

[von thoma]

Hello Paul ;

Welcome to AHF.

A tunic for a Reichsbahn official of pay-group 11 trough 8 and 7a. ( according to collar patches ).
Swastika missing or censored, and devoid of corresponding shoulder boards.

Not from the Third Reich-era Deutsche Reichsbahn, but from the post-war Deutsche Bundesbahn of the FRG.

The collar patches are for an official of the medium-grade career [mittlerer Dienst] in pay group A5 to A8.

The post-war collar patches were similiar, but not identical to the 1941 model; the most obvious difference being, of course, the absence of the Swastika. Also, shoulder boards were no longer used by the DB. (The collar patches were also abolished in 1966.)

Here is an example for the DB collar patches:
