Opinion/feedback requested on authenticity of LW Field Div smock

[embolini]

Hi all,

What is the consensus on the likely authenticity of this Field Div smock please? It looks to be a converted / cut down Zelt. I am not sure how common this cut / method was. Any input is helpful for this newbie. 2c.jpg (600 x 450).jpg 2b.jpg (600 x 450).jpg 2.jpg (600 x 450).jpg 2d.jpg (600 x 450).jpg 2g.jpg (600 x 450).jpg

I'm trying to upload further pics of the collar but having some tech issue doing so.

Not sure what you have here. Need to see more photos, especially overall views. Might be a Zeltbahn, or less likely a FJ smock, which was modified.

IMO, that eagle was added postwar, and to something that was heavily used. Rather uncommon to see a field made GD jacket, as there was no shortage of GD jackets or FJ smocks. I would proceed with caution.

BTW, not sure why your photos posted like that. I just tested that function and it worked for me.

Thank you Willi Z. Think I'm going to pass on this one. I know the images weren't the best. I appreciate your input.
