VERY Early Heer M36 EM Tunic

[DonC]

Hi All -

I wanted to show this interesting and well-worn Gefreiter's tunic. Manufacture date is 1934 with a Berlin depot stamp - is this simply a very early M36 or is it something else? The litzen are original to the tunic, and I believe the eagle has a very good chance to be original as well. As always, any and all opinions welcome!

Apparently a Uniformfabrik in Cottbuss, but can anyone decipher the rest of this? It is on the badage pocket.

Got me stumped. Shows more characteristics of a 1939 period tunic except the lining which is really strange. Weimar rework?????

With Out The Back Reinforcement As Yours It Would Be M-33

Steve is right, M34/35 tunic. Getting hard to find these days.

Hello,
sorry i have to say this gentlemen, but all of you are wrong....skeleton lining, no holes for the belt hooks on the front, this is a M33 Feldbluse with dark green collar added. It's a bit salty but it is always nice to see a M33 Feldbluse...

Sharp looking tunic! Rarely encounter these M33's - lucky bugger!

Odd combination.

M33 tunic lining, M35 collar, post 39 collar tabs, and post 1940 eagle.
