2nd Pattern Tropical Heer Tunic

[don_kihotis7]

Hi guys, i got this tunic 2-3 months ago. It is a stripped one, and had a replaced collar. It looks like a period job but i can't be 100% sure about that. Also the cuffs seem to have been shortened or repaired. The biggest minor is that once a guy wrote under the left breast pocket something plus his name (James) with a marker but it has been treated with some sort of solution from a previous collector. Hopefully it is not very visible and when a belt will be placed on the torso it won't be visible at all.
Is it a second pattern DAK tunic or just a sudfront one?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

There is a photo showing the difference in colour of the repaired collar. I have marked another repair near the left shoulder.

Hi Kris , I think you have a good one there my friend! the cuff shortening is really fairly common on uniform( I used to get my great coats adjusted!!) Everything on this one looks ok for me , it will be even better when "restored"!! Leon.

In my honest opinion this one is as "sweet as a nut"!! Leon.

Thanks Leon.

2nd pattern as it has pointed pocket flaps but no pleats, looks good in spite of any repairs and the name hardly shows.
