Hello guys,

can I have some opinions on this uniform please?
What do I have to look for with these kind of uniforms?
Thanks in advance.

We also buy and trade your items and full collections!

If you want a real opinion, the uniform itself (not the images) has to be examined in person by the more accomplished uniform inspectors. And I am not one of these.

Here is the response from one expert I consult.

"....This is basically an Army tunic mfg'd in the early
1940s.
Characteristics are:
6 buttons
Pleatless patch pockets, w/lower pockets
being billowed
3 hole belt ramp holes in the characteristic
four places
Dark green collar as intoduced in 1936
Partial cotton lining

I agree with you -- bottom line analysis is left
to a person who has the opportunity to inspect
the tunic "in hand". Pictures have a tendency to
"lie" -- in other words, not always reveal the
cheat/possible alteration aspects...."

I´v heard that Kai winkler is know for "making/tailoring" his own tunics... I would not buy from him either.

Agreed, and nor would I. This individual is known for his humped up items and ground-up fakes, and this one is no exception. The tunic also appears to possibly have a shadow of a Heer chest eagle(I'd personally need this in hand to verify that however).

I'd like to examine the chest area of the tunic in the flesh as there looks to be a hint of a shadow!...

Buy from this dealer at your own risk. I am surprised he still has his teeth after an incident with a close friend a couple years back. BTW you see here a humped up army tunic.
