Description
Extremely rare 1944 made "wrapper" uniform for a Skijäger Leutnant. These wrappers were usually designed to be issued to Sturmgeschütz (Assault Gun) troops however they were issued to Skijäger troops as proven by period time pictures. This example was tailored by Italian uniform fabric in 1944. It is Rb-number stamped, size stamped and "M44" marked to the khaki cotton lining.
 
Machine-attached Jäger officer's collar tabs. Matching Leutnant shoulder boards. Rare insignia with lightgreen color. Fine handstiched Jäger sleeve badge attached by hand. Machine-attached AFRIKA cuffband. The cuffband comes with moth damage to the reverse. There also also two small moth holes to one shoulder baords.
The tunic itself comes in nearly unworn condition with no moth damage. Two small holes near one button hole must be from ripping off the Iron Cross ribbon.
There are three pair of loops for combat badges and two pair of loops for bars. One would be for his ribbon bar, the other pair for his Close Combat Clasp. 
 
All buttons are complete. The collar hooks show rust.
Size M.
Very nice condition 2+
