WH M41 Tunic. NEED HELP!

[Brannik]

Hi Guys,

Need some help here. Is that tunic OK, or the insignia doesnt match with the tunic. Is that collar tabs and "Bevo" eagle for this tunic?

THANKS!!!!!

The eagle looks fine, but have others tell you with much more experience. The stitching on that Second class is correct.

Warm Regards,

Justin

Hello,
It is an original stripped german Feldbluse that received new insignia...
The condition is not great. Shoulderstraps look original also.
Too bad the faint markings as i dont like them a lot...
Thanks

Hello,

It is an original stripped german Feldbluse that receive new insignia... As JP said! The collar tabs are a neat BeVo style that are original but not seen much on uniforms. The sleeve chevron is terribly sewn on and too low on the arm. The eagle is also terribly resewn. It appears that it is missing some of the cloth that surrounds the design and gets folded behind when sewn on, it is fraying at the top. The ribbon looks nice but is sewn on in the same manner as the chevron, eagle, and collar tabs . If the individual would have taken his time and gotten the matching insignia for the tunic it would probably have turned out a lot nicer.

Thanks to all!

But I need to know whether the eagle and the collar tabs are from the same year as the M41 tunic?


Thanks!

Hello,

Those collar tabs and that eagle could have been worn on that tunic and are appropriate for that time frame.

Thank you!!! But the Shoulderstraps are for late war tunic? Or not? :?

Hello,

The facing colors for the Army uniform changed in 1940 from dark green to field grey. The shoulder boards would also be correct for this uniform.

But they are brown/gray. They are different color than the tunics color. :?

Hello,

The colors did not match all the time.These boards are fine for this tunic in this time period.
