looks nice

It does, very understated compared to the TR ones

Very nice and rarely seen! Especially with the cords and meddles. Is there a name on the inside?

Too much meddling going on for my liking.
Really nice looking tunic though. Makers markings?
Shirt could do with an iron.

The meddles don't bother me. A General would likely have been at least a Major in the Wehrmacht. Possibly a young Lt. Colonel. Looking at surviving wartime mid level German officers you'd be hard pressed to find one without a bunch of pretty big awards.

I think my comment may have been a little too subtle or taken too literally.

The "medals" don't worry me, just the "meddles".

Hello,
Please excuse me until I sign now.
The medal bar is not part of the jacket, I've put you only as it
for the optics;-)
The Fangschur is not the right thing, there is a line of the Navy
not by the army, unfortunately,
I find it especially nice was still no crest on the upper arm.

Heh... subtle plays of language often don't work for me because I am a terrible speller

Kurt, thanks for the update! I am not familiar enough with ribbons to know what is what, except for the basic Third Reich stuff. But it does look really nice on it
