This is my BDM Grey fahrtenbluse.
(Used for traveling instead of the white blouse)

It is for Jungmädel and textbook example.
I never knew why other unworn blouses at the internet show rust stains..
Now I know... the blouse I bought recently from a friend is unused and.. has iron nails to store it!
That explains the stains in other blouses which were also stored for decades..
This is the first one I see with the nails still attached and I leave it that way.

At some photos the cloth fabric look blue. That is because I made them outside.

The last photo is NOT this shirt but a similar -without the breastpocket buttons- I found online.
Just to show the model.

That's right, originally these were designated as the Fahrtenbluse for use during camps but late-war the silver/grey material became the standard for BDM/JM blouses - when the girls could get them of course. The last picture is the Jungmädel version from that period. It can be distinguished mainly by the lack of pocket buttons and two less buttons around the hem. See here: Late-war new BDM jacket
 
Garry, I didn't know about that late war, though I did search on the forum.
You tell the last photo is JM, but in my opinion the previous photos (mine) are too. Only with the breast pocket buttons.
Why should that one be BDM?

In the topic you referred, both late ware blouses (bdm/jm) have no buttons at the breast pocket. So the only difference are the waist buttons there..
 
That's correct Werner. The BDM blouse didn't have waist buttons so the other items you show in your post are JM too.
