Gents,
I would like your thoughts on this tunic I picked up today.
The tunic seems to have had the collar replaced, and there are quite a few moth holes, and some field repairs as well.
cheers

Looks like a very well used, M40. The collar tabs and tress seems to be original but the eagle, IMHO, is replaced. Steve

I see no red flags, the Nco braid is a bit golden...Very salty tunic

cheers guys,
the tresse does appear much more golden in the photo. But it is still pretty yellowy (is that a real word?)
When I first saw it, I actually thought it looked like KM from a distance, but upon closer inspection it seemed to be more aged than anything.
I have to say that I am really pleased with how used it looks.
The number of small repairs makes it looks like the original owner used to wrestle sharks or crocodiles.
