Hello gents,
would be pleased for some comments on this piece. Could it be a good WH blouse? Thank you in advance!Comment

It is not a standard German Feldbluse and I do not think it was worn as such although it resembles in first appearance a M42 style tunic (issue gabardine tunics are mostly in M43 or M44 pattern). The shoulder straps disqualify it as being German though, also the cuffs and breast pockets are non-standard. The buttons then again, are German.
Any sign of previous insignia ?

Not a Italian uniform expert myself, but believe they never had this kind of design?Originally posted by anmarlodz View Post
Could of course have been somekind of Italian auxiliary force?Comment

Is it just me or is there a very faint outline of what could be a Heer eagle over the right breast pocket (would be right if you were wearing it)? It appears to be rather faint when looking at the pic with it laid on its back with a slight angle. Perhaps my eyes just wanting to see something.. Matt

Too me it is a German inspired tunic (German buttons, German style) post 1943, so RSI period, made in Italian wool
(which the Germans also used of course post Sep '43 armistice) intended for Italian RSI troops.
Could even have been made in Germany for Italian troops, many trained in Germany...
The rounded chest pockets, shallow cuffs and epaulets scream Italian to me! but German inspired or German made for RSI.
So late war and with German grau-blau einheitzknopfen (late war generic color buttons as intended for all branches)
Great item.
I would post it in the Italian section for more input!Comment

Does it look like the liner was removed or never existed?Comment
