[veloce]

Hello

Possible to be original KM tunic? Opinion please?

- german size stamp
- no shoulder boards
- M44 style converted last two buttons (or just postwar modification?)
- no traces after insignia
- buttons "mode de paris"

My opinion it is a real tunic just replacement buttons

If the tunic is genuine the buttons are likely original to the tunic. Germany applied captured materials exclusively as buttons. There are many original garments with such foreign hardware.

French buttons are indeed totally legit on these...
You can find buttons marked "For Gentlemen" on many german garments,
you se buttons marked "Équipement militaire" etc...
Foreign not an issue at all!

Hi there!

To me looks like a refurbished english battle dress, isn't it?

Denim BD jacket of course , tailored a little bit at the waist + collar + shoulder boards !
A classical but i'm not sure the german navy stamped the british BD jackets in use in the KM ?
Most or 95% of the denim jackets worn in the KM were brown and not green,also ?
Prewar made colour captured in 1940 ...
