    Opinions on tropical tunic

    This uniform is coming up for sale at auction and I'm looking for opinions on if it is good or not. I know the boards are not correct for it but it is from a veterans estate with several other items for sale. Any information and opinions would be helpful. Also, a ballpark price would be helpful if possible. Thank you.

      Looks to be an original 1944 3rd pattern made from 'olona' material.
      Eagle is a good one - and I like the sewing on it as well as the litzen...
      Could go for a reasonable price.
      Good Luck!

            Nice tunic! Interesting how the veteran placed HJ shoulder straps on it?

            overall,

              Looks to be a good 44 dated 3rd pattern with added HJ boards and it shows signs of use, which is always good to see.

              Regards,

                Thank you for the feedback. I'm assuming the HJ boards are good as well?

                    Original shoulder straps are slip-ons so missing is not a big deal.
                    Its probably an unissued depot survivor that never had straps to begin with...
                    It also would not have a cuff title because [eventhough it has tropical insignia] (1) its not DAK related
                    and (2) its an unissued piece...
