Tropical 3rd Pattern Tunic

[Christopher G.]

Hello,

I posted this thread earlier but it looks like the thread was deleted.

Just checking to see if this tunic was a good one...looks like a good 3rd pattern tunic to me but I just wanted to check first. Also, I have never seen one of these with with the belt holes not being circular holes rather than slits. What do you think?

Regards,
Chris G.

Original jacket made in 44 : simplified button holes and hooks slits are seen !

Late war 3rd pattern tunic looks ok. Yes slits are ok for this time frame. The straps look to be fake from the couple photos.

[Christopher G.]

Yes, the straps are fake...I posted them before and they were obvious fakes.

Looks like the swastika portion of the eagle was unstitched at some point.

Did not address the insignia as the photos are not good enough for me to make a comment one way or the other as to when it was applied...

Hey Jeff,

The swastika part of the eagles are hand stitched since they overlap onto the pocket flap. I guess I will see when I get the tunic in the mail.

Ok, Chris, now that I look closer I see the hand stitching.
