    Mystery tunic for identification

    I am posting this mystery tunic here in the Axis as I think it might be collaboration related...or related to an Axis nation...
    It is completely stripped, but shows (added) German medal loops and pebbled buttons... So its been played with...

    It was offered as a Polizei tunic because the wool color pretty much matches that...but it is obviously not German...

    Its not Dutch, Finnish, nor Swedish, nor Danish, nor Czech ...perhaps Norwegian?
    I was thinking Slovenian but a WAF member from that country said no...
    or?

    Any idea's?

      Inside view...its fully lined...Officers use I assume but what nationality?
      (no dagger slit, no inside pocket, no tailor labels or markings...no clues...)
      Its not in my possession yet...but inexpensive, so worth the gamble, as I feel its definitely old and WW2 related...

      Note the polizei wool farbe! So just foreign tailoring for SchuPo use??? or for a security related service in an occupied country?

          Great! I knew it had to be old...so in between the wars you mean, so post WW1, for WW1 veterans, right?
          The pocket flaps do look Czech and the color more Italian...Thanks. Your wide knowledge always amazes me Nick! THANKS
          The other Nick!

          PS: so these color tabs...and this shield (photo credit Musee Skupinski)

            What it should look like...
            Post WW1 made for veteran Czechoslovakian Legion-Italian Army WW1...
            Czech cut uniform but in Italian army color wool to commemorate their WW1 service.

            Were these private purchase? or Government issue?
            So for home coming parade when Czechoslovakia became a country in 1918? in part thanks to their efforts... = first Republic (until 1938)
            Victory commemorative events 1920's???

              or maybe its WW1 after all...

              I found this color illustration!
              The collar had incorrect tabs so I fixed it (artists mistake?)
              A side by side comparison! Exact same uniform! So not veterans but WW1 period used!
