The only flaw is a single moth hole at the back edge.

The leather sweat band is in good shape with a depot marking, "HB37."Comment

What is really cool is the condition of the cork liner pad, which still looks new.Comment

Next up is my new M34 tunic which was upgraded to an NCO walking out tunic by the original owner. The jacket is of the heavy, early wool and partially lined. It has no frontal support hook holes, with two sets of support hook holes and support hook tabs located at the back of the tunic. The eagle is period hand applied and is a later style bird, v.s. the mouse gray cotton eagle, which must have been added by the NCO to give it a more current look. Additionally, the collar, tress and tabs are a later variety and were added by the NCO to modernize it for walk out dress. The Infantry piped shoulder straps had embroidered numbers at one time, which were picked out during the war for OPSEC purposes. the tress on the shoulder straps and collar are the same application and signify that the straps have always remained with this tunic. Overall the tunic is near mint, almost no wear. This is my first M34 tunic. I hope you all like it as much as I do?
Steve

This is a huge tunic to say the least. The depot size markings show this tunic with a 102 CM chest, and 64 CM sleeve length, though it seems bigger than that.Comment

I hope to update this thread with some of my latest uniforms. Pictured is my man room when I first started decorating. The two LW FB are my medical tunics which I wanted to show off. I'm still in the market for mint LW M40 pants and kielhosen. Than you for looking.
Best regards, SteveComment

Hi Eduardo,
Thank you for looking at my collection. I can imagine what you are going through. I would love to get my hands on a nice early KM coast artillery tunic myself, but they are very hard to find.
best regards, Steve

Pictured is my M40 tunic. This tunic was manufactured in Poland and has a Transfer depot markings out of Warchau with a date "B41". All insignia are period attached. I really like the subdued insignia and NCO tress. This tunic has very light wear and age but has seen service. Only flaw is a "L" shaped rip on the left sleeve.
I hope you like it. Best regards, SteveComment
