    M42 Tunic

    Hello,

    I was considering this M42 tunic and would value some opinions.

    Many thanks, Greg

              The tunic appears all original with the exception of the eagle which seems to not be attached however the condition looks like those worn by POWs returning from the Soviet Union in the late 40s; severely worn and threadbare.

                Whoever folded the collar tabs did a very poor job. I would always wonder if they were post-war applied.

                Duct tape can't fix stupid, but it can muffle the sound.

                  I agree Bob! also IMO it looks like the pocket flaps were modified (poorly) to give them a more pointy look? anyone else see this?

                    Its a m43 tunic with modified pockets.....its not an M42.

                    Someone did a terrible job with the pockets....perhaps they were mouse-bitten?

                      x2 those are my thoughts as well.

                      Cheers,

                        Looks like some of the buttons were replaced too. The silver finish appears to be paint.

                          Many thanks for the comments guys. I think it's one to stay clear of.

                          Cheers, Greg
