    Jacket for identification

    Guys could you please help me and tell me what kind of jacket is this one ?? I was thinking it could be very early german, maybe Reichswehr , or pre anschluss Austrian jacket , which have been period converted to WH jacket.
    but.. I'm not the best in early type field jackets so I could be wrong.. and it could be jacket of any other european army.

    Jacket has traces of eagle , collar patches and shoulderboards. Have been found here in Poland at one of the Silesian attics. Had been signed LOMOV MATI and number 23006.

    I waiting fo your opinion guys.

      Hi

      I collect mostly Heer, but it look like a KM Costal Artillery fieldgray tunic. I do not know if the tunic is original.The false lower pockets are different than the Heer combat tunic lower pockets.

      regards

        I would agree it looks like Coastal Artillery jacket but It's a bite diffrent from all coastal artilery jackets I have seen till today.
        Thats why I asked about it.

          It could be a coastal tunic but the back seam has me wondering. Are there two collar hooks or just one large one? Another thing is absense of any belt hook holes

            KM is even my opinion. But not original. Fabrik, collar hooks, stamps and some other details are not WW2.

              This one is not a Küstenartilleria tunic, 6 front buttons, not full lining, not cuffs openings, not back pleat, ...

              Not WW2 german made tunic IMO .

                As I stated before - it looks like coastal artilery but it's not . As Km-spain has mentioned it hasn't all those typical features that Coastal jacket has . That's why I wrote IT IS ONE OF OCCUPIED COUNTRIES ARMY JACKET which had been converted by adding big hook and eye , breast eagle, collar patches, shoulder loops and shoulderboards. Most probably it could be Austrian or Czech army pre war jacket but I would like confirmation of that ( there had been answer in Italain and axis sextion that it is probably pre war Czech army jacket ).

                  Though I can't offer an opinion on the nationality of this piece, I find the buttonholes interesting in that they are all nicely hand-sewn rather than machine-sewn on a mass produced, 20th Century garment.

                    Wool jackets like this were produced and worn into the 70's in Eastern European Countries and longer with Police units etc. I would not rule out that it could be early PostWar based on construction circa 1950s. Note the simularity of the fabric with known post War examples of SS wraps etc. manufactured in Eastern Europe.

                          The material of the tunic in question is typical for austrian tunics of the years between the WWs.

                          Also, the lining, and the remaining original construction-features leed to austria.

                            The blue is close to the Imperial Austrian tunics, I have never seen one like this. Maybe in the Schiffer references. I am not convinced it is WWII or before but it may be. Czech Army tunics I have seen before being converted are more brown.

                              I think this is a costume tunic from the Czech film studios. These large inventory numbers are typical of these costumes that were often made from original cloth or uniforms. There also appears to be a faint box stamp from the studio in the neck next to the large number.
