M41 Infantry Officer's Tunic - French Material ?

[soldon]

Came across this infantry officers M41 Feldbluse in a antique shop. The shop owner says its a officers private purchase made in France. To my untrained eye the material and the lining do seem a little unusual, there was no tailors label. Do members think it could be French made or any opinions on it. The condition doesn't seem so bad, one or two small moth holes.

The breast eagle looks a little strange to me...

Dutch or Austrian material me thinks...Billbert

foreign-made

I have a general's tunic with the same unusual style button holes and "quilted" lining and half belt which I picked up in Berlin in 1976. I was under the impression (told) it was likely Italian-made though there was no label. The material it is made from is also not typical and the insignia are standard German-made. The eagle on yours does look unusual and perhaps foreign-made. I had a French-made tunic with a label in it which had a very dark green collar and distinctly green body not typical of German tunics. Your tunic is likely from another country but exactly where is the question.

Not french made , but IMO entirely Dutch made , including the breast eagle .
The lining reinforcements and the button holes are a typical .

I have a french tunic made in Lille in the north of France:

The cloth could look a bit like the same, but dutch would definately be a good guess..

Yes, this is without question Dutch, the fabric is the prewar cloth used for tailor made Army clothing. The construction etc. and everything about it looks like a jacket made in Holland fairly early in the War.

I agree; also the eagle is typical for being encountered on Dutch made tunics and visor caps.

Thanks everyone for their posts, to recap, the common wisdom is the tunic and insignia are Dutch made. One thought I have, being Dutch made are they regarded price-wise as the same as a comparable German made uniform or less so? while I'm on the subject, are all German WW2 M41 tunics in the same condition priced the same, regardless whether Dutch, French, Austrian, Italian manufactured or are some better looked-on ? Again thanks for the help.
