Hello:
<O
After toying around with the idea of buying a tunic for several years, I finally broke down and did it. After arming myself with some knowledge I set my sights on an M36 and here it is after six months on a lay-away plan.
The tunic has the typical dark green collar; plain deep turned back cuffs, patched and pleated pockets with three point flaps and 8 loops for awards. The tunic shows limited wear with 2 small holes and is virtually free of any stains. The last button shows heavy signs of wear probably from his belt rubbing on it. The inside of the tunic is lined and has no tags, markings or stamps. Its size is approximately a 34-38 regular U.S. or 44-48 European. The swastika on the breast eagle is interesting to note; instead of it being embroidered like the rest of the eagle it seems to be made out of light weight metal. The tunic came with the EK2 ribbon sewn in place which has a slight stain. The other awards on the tunic are ones that I had previously acquired.
I would like to thank our very own Mark Holden for assisting me with this tunic back in September 2003, and wish him the best on his deployment to Iraq.
