Hi Troy,
In my opinion, everything is original, but most likely put together after the war. The breast eagle is very early pre-war period, the shoulderstraps are for a reservist, so most likely pre-war, and the tunic is 6 button front, so made most likely after 1941.
Thank you and best wishes,

All insignia, tabs and shoulder boards replaced. Note how the shoulder boards were refitted into the seams. JComment

Can only concur with the other observations. MattComment

She's definitely been reupholstered.
Like the early eagle though.

Cavalry collar litzen??? + crudely applied reserve status Infantry Captain boards...had a metal cypher at one time?
When the war broke out all reservists were called up for active duty and these gray backed boards became obsolete if I'm not mistaken!
Its a nice uniform but it can use some TLC. (everything handstitched on I was told by the person that shared these close up pictures)
I guess an early breast eagle on a mid war uniform is really not problematic, could be a preference, or status thing, showing early enlistment...
but here its positioned too low...and the way its stitched on makes me feel that it's most likely added to a denazified uniform . VERY NICE PARTS!Last edited by NickG; 09-10-2015, 08:37 PM.Comment
