Mint M43 tunic

[willysproject]

Does anyone see something wrong with this never used mint tunic? (Exept the fact the shoulderboards are wrong...)
What is the current price of a tunic in this shape??

regards,
Gerd

As Mike Beaver writes in his books, tunics came from the different factories with armeagles only. So, given that and the fact this one is stone mint... Can it be the collar tabs were added post war....

Some of the pics appear bad as the sellers site is protected... I had to take pictures from my monitor...

Hi Gerd ,

I like the insignia ,and from what I can see I like the tunic

Looking at the pockets I would say this is M42 tunit rather than M43. And getting more photos from the seller would be great to give an opinion about the tunic.

Thanks
Yes, that's true... but 'other things' point out this is an M43...

Hello Gerd,
I agree with Pimpf..this is a M42 and not one M43.

I also think it an M42 (which makes it more desirable IMHO). I worry about the insignia (less the sleeve eagle). There is no collar tress so I suspect the boards are an addition; the weaving on this style of rune tab has been discussed before - look up a recent thread on it.

Can't offer an opinion on the tunic with the images shown. Try and get better images of the interior and any other stamps. What is the reputation of the dealer?

Good luck,

Mike

Note the HBT lining either. Any known original M42 has such type of lining ?
