    Help needed for a KM coat

    Hi guys just want your opinions on this coat. It looks ok to me but i'm not an expert in any way so i would appreciate any input here.
    Does the eagle seem to be ok?
    Thanks in advance,
    Chris.

      Was it conventional to have insignia on coats? I have never seen one with a breast eagle. Just with shoulder boards.

              The coat itself looks okay, the tag and lining seems fine!

              I'm no expert on eagles.

                Hello, this one is a nice original KM garment for sure, but it's not a coat but a frock coat. It looks really nice, good maker quality and with all insignias. The only problem with this is that the silver thread straps to secure the epaulettes when used under the shoulders boards are missing. About the eagle I'm not very confortable with it. And I forgot ... the buttons on the back side, similar to those used on the coats are missing also.

                Here one of mine as an example.

                  Post the name tag nicely so we can see it etc., that is the most important clue. There are service records in books for KM officers.

                    Frock Coat

                    While I would always defer to Eduardo's opinion, this coat lacks the buttons on the back. There should be three on each side on the flaps. I can post a picture of this if necessary.

                        Eduardo that's a terrific set you got there. It's a pity that KM visor caps are so expensive that i couldn't buy one.
                        Can you post some pics of the silver thread you mentioned? I don't know what exactly it that is. On the back there should be 3 buttons instead of one? Like the waffenrocks?
                        And also you are right is called gehrock which translates as frock coat, but i wrote coat coz i didn't know the difference

                              I know it's a small detail but being a high ranking officer, all the anchor buttons would all be right side up
