M41 NCO tunic

[koenig.blix]

Hi guys. I came across this tunic with some missing pieces to the puzzle. The seller says the tunic is a summer tunic. Due to the discoloration on the litzen it's hard to tell whether it's panzer or artillery. Is the tunic a M41 with an added bottle green collar? What kind of breast eagle and shoulder boards should this tunic be outfitted with? Last but not least, is it original?

Any thoughts on this tunic would be greatly appreciated!

From what i see it's a tailor made NCO summer jacket ,
artillery branch , not Panzer .
Dark green NCO shoulder boards with straps , any kind of EM eagle bevo or private embroidered quality .Easy to find !

Thank you for your input GAMS1, considering the state of the tunic how much would it be worth? Is it considered blasphemy to to alter the appearance by sewing on an original breast eagle and shoulder boards?

Restoration !
Why not restore an uncomplete jacket with original badges ?
In the actual state,missing the eagle+boards 400e-500e .

I agree!

Nice original tailor made summer jacket. A quite common practice among NCO and officer. They often come in several kind of canvas, sometime from occupied countries.

Easily restored with (almost) any sort of eagle you want. The carried sometime EM/NCO eagle or even officer ones. About the shoulder straps nothing more easy: they're slips-on type, so you do anything else other than insert those in the loops and buttoned! Anyway, attention to choose the same color of Waffenfarbe!

Best,
