This type of tunic is considered to be rather rare. Button for an Aiguillette under the right shoulder board.

Branch: Gebirgsjäger

Shoulder boards: "Green" color piping. Major rank. Sewn-in type. No damage.
Collar tabs: "Green" color. Officer's type. Attached by hand.
Collar: Dark green. No moth damage to the collar and the piping.

Breast eagle: Hand-embroidered officer's type. Attached by hand.

Buttons: Complete and period time attached.

Sleeve badge: Officer's Edelweiss badge. Hand-embroidered. Attached by hand. 

Award loops: Two award loops to the left pocket. Furthermore, a hand attached Iron Cross 2nd Class ribbon to the second buttonhole and an East Medal ribbon bar. 

A very nice and rare officer's ornamented service tunic in Austrian-Style. Some of the insignias were period time re-attached in course of his promotions.

Moth damage and repair under the right shoulder board.
