Original period manufacture. Very clean feldgrau tunic in wool whipcord, dark green wool collar with handsewn, pliable silver wire collar tabs and pink underlay shoulder straps. Matched set of FLL marked, pebble finished, feldgrau painted buttons. Loops for a small ribbon bar and badge on the left side.EK2 & Ostfront ribbonsstitched through the second buttonhole which looks period done. Inside the tunic is a full imitationsilk lining with tailors labels on the collar and left side. The inside pocket displays an additional label with the ownersname and a date of Merz 1943. A dagger strap is sewn to the underside of the left arm. The shoulder straps are period sewn, the collar tabs while original, may be replaced postwar. The straps have had the rank pips removed for some reason but you can see the outline where the once were quite clearly.There is some very light scattered mothing on the back of the tunic, mostly about pencil point size, nothing larger that I noticed. The interior lining seam at the tail of the tunic has opened up and needs to be tacked down again. Pretty minor stuff overall. Size is about a 40 regular.
