Minty HBT tunic, small size

[USA-Alex]

Hello,

My latest addition.
Minty HBT tunic with imho original sewn breast eagle and collar tabs.
Removable buttons and splendid markings

Imho a honest and unmessed with tunic....what do you think?

The fabric confused the auto focus on my camera, so I had to manually focus the pix


Thanks for looking

original imo,
but shoulder straps of unterfeldwebel without colar tress is inusual.

Very nice and untouched HBT in my opinion. The shoulder boards could have been added later.

Thanks guys
Could you please enlighten me what's possibly wrong with the shoulder boards.


Thanks

Hi Alex,
Nice original boards... no issues.
Being a removeable item, its always tough to know if they are ever
original to the tunic. As little use is shown, more likely it was a
non NCO rank, NCO's would have tresse added at company level.

Still a nice match, and a very nice late issue example.

Cheers,
John.

Hello John,

thanks for the explanation
How would you date the tunic? 1944'isch?


Thanks

Hi Alex,
Hard to pin down, possibly as early as the summer of 43.
But the eagle tends to turn up on 1944 + garments as you suggest

Do a display, based on anywhere from the Kursk battle to the end.

Cheers,
John.
