M 43 opinions

[Antonio Scapini]

Hi guys, here i put some shot of a M43. I think this is a good tunic, but i prefere before an opinion of experts in this field...
Thenks!

Bad pics but the tresse on the collar at least seems to be post war.

I took this jacket from regimentals in UK

[Glenn McInnes]

Basic jacket certainly is original,shoulder straps look OK.

Collar tabs look original to the piece, but I suspect the eagle (need better photos to be 100%) and the collar tresse are applied post war.

in my opinion "regimentals" is NOT the best plece to buy stuff,many many questionable item here,you are lucky that your tunic is a good one and not reworked from a coat,years ago I have recived a m43 tunic (ex coat) from mr.Fisher

[Antonio Scapini]

Thanks Glenn for your knowledge...
Here a shot of the eagle

[Antonio Scapini]

It seems to me a good one jacket...
However thanks Blessein for this "good" info!!
I'll never do business with them...

[Glenn McInnes]

It looks resewn by hand to look machine stitched,post war of course.

From this picture Glenn it seems as not is in hand... The thread is very fine and aged, not odd, it can probably as you say post war sewn, but i think it's an original eagle...

I have an "E" Depot M43 tunic and it has zig-zag, machine applied eagle. Other than the eagle, the tunic looks good.

Thanks guys, i looked a lot of time and seems to me that showed all the details for a good jacket. Your expert opinions give me more sure of my item. sometimes i fear to spend money... there's an invasion of fake!

[Glenn McInnes]

Here is one I have,eagle is originally applied.
