Hello Gentlemen,
I had a pretty good week buying some KM stuff on ebay and other locations. Now most off the stuff arrived, but I recieved lots more then ordered (kind German family who wanted to get rid of what the had, no problem for me offcourse)
The first shirt is a nice textbook, three careerpatches on the sleeve. No abnahme markings but a hard to read nametag.
The problem is the eagle was ripped off seriously, leaving some damage. The strange thing is, it looks very, very odd placed. What is your opinion on shirt 1:
Shirt 2 is this heavy wool jumper, it seems an early example with spare collar? It allmost looks like a private purchase item, or is this an known variaty on the textbook shirt?
(it lacks all buttons, so can't judge on the collarclosure, and is short(end) and lacks the rope eyes on the bottom. No markings besides a nametag)
seam at the bottom:
collar construction, backside:
Extra collar:
shirt 3
My first reaction was VM or BM shirt, but when I was taking the photos, I saw the ghost of a M44 eagle? postwar mess-up or a late war shirt? it has plastic-like buttons and black silk-like cuff liners. And the collour is not what you expect of a KM shirt. ( I believe the tag is the postwar give away sign)
to compare, on top middle shirt nr 1, left shirt 2 and the bottom shirt is shirt 3 (far right a nice textbook shirt with a non-textbook zipper on the side, not shown in this topic)

I believe the eagles are both nice originals. But what is your opinion on these items listed? I really appriciate it!
