    Questions on Authenticity of M36 Infantry Hauptmann Tunic

    I was messaged locally by a seller who has this tunic for sale. Says their grandfather took it home after the war.
    The bits of wear on the cloth is encouraging and the stitching on the eagle and collar tabs looks good to me, but I have never seen an authentic tunic in person so I am not 100% sure. Seller says no markings inside but they can be tricky to find. Shoulder boards look good.
    My issue is all the WW1 medals. I feel those may be an addition but are themselves authentic.

    Real Tunic, Boards period on it. If Tabs are period on it you need to Post a few better Pictures, but i do like what i see. Both Bars are real, just not belong on that Tunic. All in all, i would buy it. About markings look at the inner Pockets if a Nametag is present, maybe you have luck since this is a Tailor made Tunic. Good Find

      Very nice tunic, collectors refer to the heavily scalloped pockets as "austrian cut". Agree medals were added. J

        Interesting tunic with a bit of Austrian style .
        Not an Austrian modified jacket but a WH tailor made a bit styled .

          Agree on all, maybe some better pics of the tabs but over all solid tunic.

              A beautiful tunic with no problems except a couple moth nips.

                Very cool set. Austrian cut and Austrian WW1/2 ribbon bar- could belong together. There were lots of WW1 vets who served in infantry units as lower officers and enlisted.


                I love the medal bar too. I like how the vet found a way to add his HK to the bar.
