Heer Artillery dress tunic, original?

[captain20052019]

Greetings all, I am getting ready to make my first major purchase which is the EM Artillery tunic pictured below. I am a novice when it comes to uniforms & would greatly appreciate any feedback on this tunic that I can get.

Looks fine.

Hello,
Looks fine to me as well but the Hoheitsabzeichen is the Officer type, not the one meant for EMs/NCOs
Thanks

That was my fault, I listed it as an EM but I doubled checked the listing & it doesn't say EM. Thank you for taking a look & teaching me something new! Much appreciated!

The Waffenrock itself is for an EM (here a Kanonier) but the breast eagle is for an Officer
Thanks

@JPhilip I see what you're saying now. So, that breast eagle was obviously a post war addition then I take it? Bummer, that definitely changes my outlook on this waffenrock.

The tunic is beautiful.

What's your thoughts on these buttons? I noticed on the other waffenrocks I've seen the buttons have two thread holes where as the buttons on the tunic I want to purchase have 4 holes. Is this a common variation?

Here's another tunic to compare to:

Tunic looks fine in the photos posted. The eagle is fine and is actually the type expected on a Waffenrock. As those were dress/parade tunics the EM versions had shiney flatwire eagles. A subdued eagle, like on a Feldbluse, would actually be wrong for a Waffenrock.
