Hi I'm afraid I'm new so I apologise if I'm doing anything wrong!
I bought this tunic a while ago and wondered if anybody out there can tell me anything about it like how old it is or even is it genuine at all .Like I said I am new and I bought this from a reputable dealer but it's always nice to get some independent advice and opinions.Thank you in advance I hope someone can comment

Hello,
It is a modified Reichsheer Rock or a privately purchased tunic patterned after the Reichsheer Rock.
It is for an Oberleutnant der Artillerie. Looks like a nice piece of german uniform from these photos
Thanks

Hello,

I agree with J-P!! The tunic has what looks like a reseda green collar and a very early breast eagle. I believe that it is a Reichsheer rock used during the transition time. Made in Munich it could have very well belonged to a member or AR7 which came from Munich. Nice tunic!!

If you want to dress that up with an aiguillette, you need an adjutant's cord, not a dress cord. That is a Reichsheer field jacket and not the dress version, which should have color piping in the front and at the cuff fold-ups.

Hi Nick what does an adjutants field cord look like the only images I can find are for ‘dress’ cords

Here you go "Adjutantenschnur"

Fantastic. What makes it appear like a pre-war Bluse are several construction details. First, the scalloped rear, long slit and buttons on the back are indicative of an old style - sometimes called "Alter Art." The pleated and scalloped top pockets up front and angled lower pockets add to the period style, plus the high quality pebbled buttons. Under the right shoulder board you can see a horn button sewn in near the seam. This is where the cord Nick mentioned would be buttoned onto the Bluse. Super example. Now you may wish to finish it off with a pair of Reithose, officer belt and a snappy service Mütze! Maybe a sidearm too! NH
