front pebble buttons unmarked and look like a set,
3 of 4 pocket buttons look matched, one a replacement
sh. strap buttons lighter color (unfinished?);
infantry straps darker than tunic - maybe ital. wool ? - and have usual rayon (viscose) piping;
tabs late-war and unusual (?) construction; collar backing greenish HBT; lining typical rayon; no size marks, or other visible tunic markings; mouse-gray eagle w/zig-zag attachment thread which does not go thru lining;
tunic material coarse; tunic overall smells of granny's attic or basement. to me the non-expert, ev'thing looks period made / applied and 'of a piece' as a late war tunic.
what do you guys think? many thanks for analyses and verdicts.
