To the left chest pocket is award loops sewn for two awards. A ribbon for the Iron Cross 2’nd class 1939 is sewn in place to the second button hole. The tunic is fully lined with brown/grey brushed cotton. The lining has a repair, a large rectangular piece of drill cloth which is about 15cm x 10cm. The lining also shows heavy stains from a longe period of use. Inner right lapel is size marked. 108cm in chest, a very large tunic!

The tunic, which is a issue tunic was re-issued with signs of previous em/nco collar tabs. However the officer insignias which now is in place match the tunic very well and has a good chance to be war time sewn. The tunic shows clear and rather heavy signs of real use with more or less no nap washed/worn away. There is a couple of smaller mendings and the tunic has a couple of larger stains. All in all a combat used exampel.

Well used combat tunic!!
