A classic. Thank you for posting. A good early M36 infantry NCO tunic is hard to beat.

It is a 6 button m41 with converted collar

Agreed (look also at the stamped date 42 - that would be rather late for a M36) and missing its factory eagle (unless it is still underneath that more fancy flatwire eagle that is unfortunately sewn through the lining and therefore possibly post-war restored).

Better eyes than mine, thanks. Thanks again for posting this beauty.

It is possible the eagle is period applied but it is very hard to tell. I have some period jackets that were machine sewn like this to upgrade the appearance. Nice jacket probably used for best service dress etc. or "walking out".

Agree, it was quite common to see the flatware types applied being sewn right through the lining, often over the original bird.

I suspect that underneath there is the previous eagle, in fact this eagle perfectly follows the sign of the other eagle. Between the eagle and the pocket there is the scissor corner (in the photo it looks straight, but there is the classic regulatory angle).

That would be good news - if the original factory eagle is still underneath it I think it is safe to say that the flatwire eagle is period added/attached.
