Wwii german heer mountain division uniform

[guns ltd]

I found this uniform that is on an auction site and want opinions. The pictures I have listed is all I have. The description is as follows: Heer Gebirgsj„ger (Mountain Division) enlisted Gefreiter (Lance Corporal) field and service uniform with tunic and trousers with edelweiss patch, breast eagle, shoulder boards, hellgrn Waffenfarbe (Light Green, mountain division piping), EKII and Ostmedaille (Iron Cross 2nd Class and Eastern Front Medal) ribbons on second button hole, stamped silver Infantry Assault Badge, stamped wound badge, ?Gott Mit Uns? enlisted buckle and belt and belt hangers (no maker?s mark). Tunic, approximately size 34, shows heavy field repair throughout, trousers are in not matched,
Thanks,
John

Shouldn't the collar tabs also be green ? matching the colour on the shoulder broads ?

[Neil Hever]

Shoulder boards don't have to match up necessarily - they can be generic - but the insignia looks re-applied. NH

I agree with NH.

it did say that it had lots of field repairs. What is the over all consensus of this uniform???
Original period???

Looks good to me inside shots of it if they have them could tell all but going on pictures at hand looks like original M-43 tunic for GJ anymore most insignia is reapplied but that looks ok and period belt buckle and awards I like also. timothy

Hello'

It appears to me that all of the insignia has been replaced. The insignia does not show the same wear as the tunic. All of the insignia looks original but I would like to see some better and more shots of the shoulder boards..ie opened up, side by side, front and back off the tunic.

Obviously the button hole ribbons are post war additions but as far as I can tell the tunic is good. The question is when the insignia was put on.

Well gents, The M-43 tunic sold today. It went for 750.00. A little much for the amount of unknowns with this. And no I didn't buy it.
