Description

A nice Heer M43 field tunic for an Gebirgsjäger Stabsgefreiter serving with Geb.Jäg.Rgt.98,

This tunic was period time modified by a tailor due to the personal taste of the owner. Soldiers preferred the more elegant M36 style featuring a dark green collar dark green insignia. All modifications were executed period time and definitely prior 1945.
Modifications like these are quite common and give this tunic a unique touch.

Collar tabs: Machine-woven EM/NCO tabs originally attached by machine. 
Breast eagle: Machine-woven officer/NCO pattern period attached by machine. 
Shoulder boards: Slip-on boards attached to the originally attached buttons and loops. Green piped boards (one tiny moth hole). Embroidered "98" ciphers to slip-on. 

Buttons: Complete. Period time attached.
Lining: Silk. No damage. 
Markings: Size stamped. Rb-numbered "0/0850/0241", "M/43" depot marked.
Sleeve badges: Machine-attached

No damage. Slightly period time shortened in size. Very rare!
