I am not sure if this is a legit KM uniform, some other country that has been made to look like KM, or maybe a KM uniform that has been inappropriately modified.
The pockets have no flaps. The shoulder board buttons are near the shoulder instead of the collar, the owner says it looks to have had collar tabs of some sort at one time, and the eagle is roughly applied.
The visor in the upper R/H corner looks to be a German Merchant Marine hat. The pith helmet also looks to be a legit KM helmet. However - the Gebirgs M43 hat is Swiss, which adds questions to this "just acquired from the vet's widow" grouping.
Any opinions would be appreciated - I don't know KM from a BM.
