Both dark green backed collar litzen are piped in light green for gebirgsjager with both slip on shoulder boards being original to the tunic & also with matching light green piping for the mountain troops. Breast eagle is the correct grey on dark green bevo professionally applied & not stitched through the lining on the reverse side.

To interior is a partial cotton lining with the manufacturer name & details of ' Oskar Tevote ' with dice marked size stampings. Firts field dressing pocket intact with original horn button .
When the tunic is studied it is interesting to note the professional tailoring that has been period carried out at the back , this is typical of the time & fashionable to shorten the skirt slightly.
There is considerable service wear overall with a couple of period applied patches to the interior side where service wear has been addressed by a unit tailor or mobile repairer.
