Field tunic/Feldbluse, version 1940, Oberleutnant Artillery
Dear all,
May I ask you about this Oberleutnant's Field tunic/Feldbluse 1940, branch of Artillery please? It's offered by Espenlaub Militaria. I think it's a very fine, authentic example of an other rank's combat tunic used by an officer who modified it a bit mereley. What do you think about it please? Maybe you know about the reason for an ink stamp inside the flap of one breast pocket? Any comments are welcome.
Thank you very much.
I wish you a Happy New Year!
With best wishes

Looks like a good one to me.
... some more pics.

Looks like a nice, unmessed-about-with original.
A great, honest piece. The EKII ribbon looks like it’s always been there.. and I even like the leaky pen stain in the pocket! I’d be more than happy with that one..
All the best,
Rob
Dear RustyRelics, dear Rob,
Thank you very much for your evaluations.
Indeed the leaky pen stain makes it more special, I like it too.

Could be a stock stamp from the factory roll of material, my great coat has one similar.
