Foreign Volunteer M40 Tunic?

[HarvEx1RCR]

Hello All,

What's the general opinion on this tunic? I feel there's something off about it but figured I'd post it see what I can learn.

I apologize if this is posted in the wrong forum, but I'm posting it here due to the remnants if what looks to be a cuff title and

volunteer shield on the sleeve.

Thanks in advance.

It's original Heeres German M 40, postwar stripped, repainted and re-issued by Finnish forest service tunics. The paint removed to it's original color

Thanks Dimas.

I had no idea the Finns re-purposed German uniforms after the war.

??? what do you mean by "paint removed to its original colour"???

I think Dimas' reply lost a bit in translation.

What he means is the tunic was dyed postwar and then washed to remove the dye.

Cheers, Ade.

Thanks Ade, that makes more sense to me. I only speak 'stralian after all
