Wow Luca, that is one hell of a tunic. Almost impossible today to find such a set these days

Small question; when the shoulderboards were "torn off", was there any damage to the loops or buttons? And has this been repared postwar?

Thanks for sharing this wonderfull piece of history!

Cheers

Hi gents, in this photo I can clearly see the wound badge seems the same, sorry but I have not a scan to show you better close ups...

Too bad, it isn't the exact same Feldbluse in the photo. But what kind of tunic is in the photo? The pocket flaps do not have exposed buttons like a "normal" German Feldbluse and the pockets themselves are "internal" rather than applied to the outside.

Thanks Jan, well, loops look untouched, a botton is stitched with another type of cotton thread, I don't know if post war, no damages.

IMO this is a modified dutch tunic

[NickG]

Yes its for sure a modified Dutch tunic, the one in the portrait picture. This based on the position of the (many) buttons close to the edge and ofcourse the internal chest pockets with buttonless pocket flaps showing! Dutch conversion indeed. Very cool!

Very nice, it must have been difficult to find the correct family. It must be from before they closed the archives to the public. Amazing he was able to do it. Great lot!

Thanks . I knew it must have been a non-German uniform, I'm just not really focused on those flavors of tunics!
