Gary, I very seldom see the woolstoff Gendarmerie field blouses but I run onto SCHUPO ones from time to time. I think there are two SCHUPO field blouses on ebay right now that are missing some insignia, so you might look at those to see if they interest you.
I am glad you put up this tunic. I will show a variation of your Meister Summer tunic that is also a Gend Meister. This fellow's Sommer-rock was made in the style of an officer tunic with french cuffs. Since a Meister can wear an officer quality cap with aluminum cords I suppose this fellow went one step further and fitted out an officer blouse with his NCO insignia. The tunic is dated 1943.
