Collar/Tabs and some repair work underneath, or done to deceive?

Last ones. Inside at front and inside at back. Re-worked?

This tunic was one of two offered to me by Robert Kondor many years ago; I opted for an M43 in Italian wool. IMO its salty good.

The insignia are all good, if it's a fake it would fool me.

I agree with the others and ... not so salty but a beautiful Old Lady

Thanks gents, was just making sure that the eyes were not missing something.

Interesting repair on the collar along with the replacement tresse added. Does the machine thread on the tresse match the thread on the collar tabs?

Also just noting the bright aluminum tresse on the shoulder boards and subdued tresse on the collar. Which is not necessarily a huge issue (ie: promotion) but could indicate post war tinkering.

Original tunic for sure. The boards are for my view replaced what is common nature.
