Japanese type 98 tunic

[Tinhat]

This is my recently acquired Japanese Type 98 woolen tunic, has the rank insignia of Sergeant Major.
It is in really nice condition and I believe dated 1943.

Any comments welcome, good or bad.

Can you show under the collar? Need to see the stitching for the collar badges.

Nice to see an actual named & issued tunic ! As requested please post photo of reverse of collar so we can determine if tabs are period attached & original to tunic

Nice original tunic but the direct sunlight spoils it for me. Post some photos without so much light.

I've been looking to add one of these to my collection for a while. Could you share any tips on where to look/ how much to pay?

The tunic belongs to Tinhat.

I will buy one sooner or later... I just want a collection that represents a little of everything from WWII.
