M43 Einheitsfeldmutze
I know it's not a tunic, but it goes with the M44! Picked up this copy M43 cap at Farnham (UK) fair today from James Brown of RZM / Phoenix militaria. He believed it was a US copy (ATF?) and it has been 'upgraded' with an original trapezoid and original buttons. It's been worn by a re-enactor and has a good natural worn in look. Has a grey cotton lining and vent like the earlier M43's.
For those sharing my interest in good copy militaria James Brown is a great source (though he also deals in original mlitaria). He's the main UK agent for Janke copy caps. The range is expanding even to SA kepis now and they're looking great. His links:-

I've known James for years and can say that he's a very decent and pleasant person to deal with. Unlike some dealers out there, when he sells you a reproduction he is selling it to you as a reproduction.....
