Alpini Tunic.

[johnz138]

Hello, I just recently got this Alpini Tunic and wanted your opinions. To me it appears ok (but I'm not an expert), whats throwing me off is the collar and straps on the shoulders are a different color. Would that have been done as a modification by the soldier? Or is it not correct? Thanks and I value everybody's info.

a very old tunic probably beginning of the 30's modified in 1940 to conform to war regulations.
