WW2 German Army M40 Combat Tunic

A WW2 German M40 combat tunic in very good condition.
The model 40 was an upgraded version of the M36 but with field grey collar instead of the dark green . Tunic has a five button front with pleated patch pockets & scalloped pocket flaps . The collar tabs are totally original machine sewn to the tunic & are of the bevo universal issue seen as of 1940 to replace the previous individually branch piped versions. Breast eagle is in green backed grey bevo again seen from 1940 & totally correct for this 1941 dated tunic. To the left sleeve is an 'Obershutze' rank badge which was given to enlisted soldiers who had shown good aptitude & proficiency but that had had not yet qualified for Gefreiter rank. Interior of tunic has partial cotton linign with dice marked size stamps & date '41'
Overall very nice scarce tunic in a good mannequin size & hard to find in todays market unconverted such as this.
