WW2 German Late War M43 Tunic

A large sized late war M43 army tunic in Italian wool. These were issued & worn right up to the end of the war to exhaust existing stocks whilst the newer style of M44 tunic was only issued in limited numbers when compared to the already well established M43.
With an artificial silk lining there are faint RB number markings to the field dressing pocket & one belt support hook strap remaining to left inside waist. Rear equipment hook holes were , typical of late manufacture , poorly finished.
Breast eagle is a reapplied late war mouse grey pattern although totally correct for this tunic .
All buttons are intact & correctly sewn with the late war period thick green cotton thread often seen on other garments of this date.
Although minor on a now sought after German army tunic it is worthy of note that there are two small moth nips to the front waist under the area where the belt would sit & three small 5mm nips underneath the bottom button.
An excellent example that would compliment a late war German army representation.
