It is an original tunic in lightweight wool, towards the insignia being originally applied to it, it is pretty hard to tell. The eagle and boards are not sewn very well but could be period and the patina on the boards matches the collar tabs.

Hi Joohny thank you for help

[Johnny R]

Did you look in the pocket for a name tag? That would help with figuring out more.

Hi comraden ,no unfortunately,i can t find anything in the pocket

I like the been there field use look. The collar tabs look like the early tarnished silver type and not the later gray aluminum thread. The collar tabs look fine from the photos taken but under collar shots would help. Like JohnnyR said a look at the inside would be good, maybe at the shoulder seams. I really like the been there look,nice tunic.
