        original St44 accepted tunic.All insignias are a put together total.Early tresse and tabs wouldn't belong there,shoulder boards would,seems like one pip was removed in the one of them.The eagle is reapplied and the type found in some late war made HBT's,acceptable though.Seems like the seller or whoever couldn't find a tunic removed bevo grey one.Very tinny chested,it wouldn't fit a modern mannequin.

          It appears to be a size 96-98 which would be US size 38-40 I believe. Should fit a modern mannequin.

            Go for it. Good starter tunic to get some experience with. Would look great on a mannequin with kit.

              Agreed on the eagle however the beauty of this tunic is it would not be ruined by sewing a proper era eagle on the chest.

                I cannot say it is orignally applied but the RH/LW type of tresse by itself is not an issue. They used what they had and I have seen this type of tresse used on both later War Waffen SS tunics and Heer. I like it for a nice tunic with restored insignia. For 700 buts I think it is a pretty good deal and it could be better restored.
