Excellent Heer M41 field tunic. Typically designed with vertical pocket bars. Unlike an M36 or M40 pattern, the M41 pattern comes with six instead of five buttons.
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 and a vertical pocket bar. All modifications were executed period time and definitely prior to 1945.
Modifications like these are quite common and give this tunic a unique touch.
Breast eagle: machine-embroidered. EM/NCO pattern. Period time attached by hand.
Collar tabs: EM/NCO. Machine-woven. Period time attached by hand.
Shoulder boards: Early dark green EM boards with "orange" piping. Excellent.
Sleeve badge: Machine-embroidered Feldgendarmerie eagle. Period time attached!
Cuff title: Machine-woven. Period time attached by hand.
Buttons: All buttons complete and period time attached.
Lining: fine cotton. No markings visibible due to the period time modifications.
