Makes me happy to see it all being looked after.

He should be careful playing around with that old tunic. The buttons has most likely been there for 70years and will easily loosen. If he is no collector it will be better if this old historical object is being relocated to a serious collection where it will be preserved for the future.

I agree. Though he is an eager collector of militaria.

Now that is a garage find that is incredible!!It appears that the whole lot especially the Nordland tunic was kept in great condition.Thanks for the photos.

I am the guy whom got my hands on this stuff. I registered quickly to clarify some things.
One cool thing i could mention is that the Nordland tunic has "STOCKMANN" Markings. Meaning that it is private purchase!
I sadly do not have more pictures of it, and i have no idea when i will be able to check on them. They are in Hanko and some of the stuff is at Hanko Frontmuseum.
And Trond, don't worry, i know how to take care of my uniforms. The buttons were not loose and the tunic is in mint condition. Everything posted here is safe from moths and people, trust me.

That is the kind of barn find that dreams are made of ! There aren't many barns with that kind of haul out there , your a lucky man .

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings
