Colonel Dietrich’s (Wolf Kahler) tunic from Steven Spielberg’s adventure classic Raiders of the Lost Ark. This jacket was worn by the German officer during the archaeological dig in Egypt and screen matches to the scene in which Dietrich discussed the progress of the dig with Belloq (Paul Freeman).
The tunic is made of coarse tan cotton material, fastens with round, textured metal buttons and includes four pockets. A label inside the tunic from Bermans & Nathans is marked “Wolf Kahler, Raiders of the Lost Ark, 16224.” Insignia for the epaulettes, collar and chest were removed after production. Replacement insignia is tack-stitched on the tunic by conservation specialists. The unsized tunic shows minor wear from use but remains in very good condition.
