Hi Mike
Thanks a lot for the extra pics, and you´re right a perfect splinter smock from Ristow Berlin. If it´s not yours yet..buy it

1940 smocks were step ins. Obviously mis-dated, and thus the reason for your Kreta query.

Hi Mike
As John said it´s a misdate(L.B.A 40) which all Ristow smocks seems to have, all from the early smocks to the Sumpf/Marsh patterns made around 43.
Ristow Rbnr. is 0/0250/4660. If you search the Forum I believe you can find
some other smocks from this firm, we have discussed in the past.

Yes indeed, have seen several Ristow smocks mis-dated this way.

Beautifully sewn eagle Mike!
