M 43 italian wool feldbluse

[werner]

Hello,

What do you think about this M43 feldbluse.

On the pictures, this is the left jacket. The one on the right is a textbook example for comparison.

No holes for the belt hooks, no cuff openings, no back opening, missing hook for the collar. Bandage pocket is missing too.
Markings are on left side instead of right side.


The wool seems to be a poor quality.

Fake or unfinished

Thanks
Ron

Could be a Tiroler Standschutzen tunic. These were the Volkssturm units raised in the Austrian and Italian parts of the Tyrol alps and they were issued simplified tunics made in that region including Italian producers.
I assume it lacks shoulder strap loops as well...sometimes worn but also without...

Thank you Nick for your input.
I found this thread you started years ago.

I like ask informations regarding any remaining threads on collar or on left arm and about shoulder straps loops.
