Eyelet Holes?

These don't look like the norm to me. Anyone seen any similar?

A gorgeous original tunic with an eagle originally applied

Looks fantastic to me. The belt hook eyelet stitching did vary quite a bit.

...with very basic "speed sewing' application of the continental litzen as well...

Good point! Totally square-shaped application! Late war....cutting corners!
So its another example of post armistice seized Italian Olona cotton used for a German tunic. Right?

Hello

This tunic is not made out of tropical Italian Olona
It's the classical german tropical ribbed cotton..late war production due to the poor quality of the cloth .

Nice tunic, but not tropical, just a classical HBT type made with material available at this time instead of the standart drillich VVVV.
