              It is a Swedish uniform from WW2.

                Yes, it is Swedish not Norwegian. This probably was used for as an early reenactment period uniform- 1980s etc. This is what was used before At the Front and other companies started making better options. The boards look real and tailor made.

                  Hi Gentlemen,
                  The Swedish stamping used 3 crowns, so I think either Swiss or Norwegian.
                  Thanks,
                  Curtiss

                    No, it is Swedish, they used the single crown and the triple crown. Earlier War era tunics like this one usually only have a single crown.

                      Exactly, 1 crown is early, 3 crowns is mid war (and beyond) and besides that the Norwegians used brown uniforms.... (and Switzerland is not a Kingdom, no crown!!)
                      This is a typical Swedish tunic! I own several.
                      The Heer artillery shoulderstraps are interesting with that rayon piping! I agree private purchase and good chance these are real!

                          Might be Swedish but they don't have the Æ in their alphabet so It has been used by the Norwegian army at one point.

                              The Norwegian exiles were trained as militarized "Police" troops in Sweden during the war (technically not military, as Sweden was neutral) and came back to Norway fully equipped with Swedish gear in 1945 and had Norwegian insignia (flag patch, rank)
                              and even Norwegian lion buttons (made in Stockholm).
                              So those inventories did end up in Norway and could have been property stamped like that with Æ Norwegian alphabet once incorporated in their local storage. Still a bone stock Swedish uniform (with German buttons and insignia added)
