German Army Tie
Good used condition. Fully functional and field-ready, with light wear and typical service markings.
Genuine Issue Surplus
KEY FEATURES
This is an original German Army tie, issued for service dress wear.
Bundeswehr Service Provenance
Issued to personnel in the West German Bundeswehr, this Langbinder was standard issue for formal service dress uniforms (Dienstanzug). Made to strict military specifications during the Cold War, it provided a clean, uniform look for soldiers on formal duty.
Hard-Wearing Woven Construction
Made from a textured woven fabric, this necktie resists creasing and holds its shape throughout daily wear. The durable weave is far sturdier than standard civilian ties, making it tough enough for regular use while retaining a smart finish.
Contractor Details & Modern Utility
Featuring original internal maker stamps from contractor RUNWALD dated to 1979, this piece brings genuine vintage provenance. It pairs easily with period uniforms for living history or adds clean military style to everyday smart wear.
Complete your Cold War uniform display or elevate your formal wardrobe with genuine Bundeswehr issue.
This item was used by the German Army during the Late Cold War (1961–1991) and is in Grade 1 condition. It is in very good condition with plenty of life left. We recommend giving it a wash before wearing.
