Re: Need help ID-ing Division info of Heer HBT Tunic...
Eagle looks like an early pattern to me but the tunic is a standard M42 HBT.
The "T" is the Depot mark for Tourin in Poland, 42 is the issue date and the rest of the numbers are size stamps.
If it was mine I would carefully iron it and put a nice pair of used (but not abused) NCO straps on it, but you could also opt for an older obsolete pattern as these were occasionally worn on this type of tunic.
It's up to you,go mad,-enjoy!!!

Thanks Bochmann! What Division would you guess this belonged to, or is it a crap-shoot? Infantry?

Apologies, my previous post should have said Torun Poland.
I thought that maybe it was for Turin originally, hence my spelling mistake.

Do you think this is an Infantry tunic? Is there any way to tell?

No waffenfarbe on the collar tabs means that you have "carte blanche" to choose any colour that you want.
Please note also that Torun would have been within the borders of "Grossdeutschland" at the time as it was annexed from Poland.
You could choose a nice colour like red for artillery or you could go for an earlier pair with pips and metal ciphers, or, you could go wilth a bedraggled pair of infantrie straps as a salute to the poor unsung "landser" who was not the member of an elite but was always omnipresent on all fronts as it were - it's all in the matching - you don't have to make it complicated. Honest.

Eagle is mid to late war and is correct for this type of tunic, though not the only type seen on a HBT.

Whatever
its just an opinion.
