Heer Pioneer EM's M43 Field Tunic

Really late M43 tunic, lesser quality field-grey wool construction, issue tunic, six button front closure (late war grey painted pebbled metal buttons) with a single metal hook and eye positioned at the neckline. The field blouse has four, non-pleated, front pockets with straight edged button down flaps. Machine sewn to the collar is general issue collar tabs. Above the right chest pocket is a M44 national eagle in grey thread on field-grey rayon. The eagle is machine sewn in place. Slipped and buttoned in place to each shoulder is M44 field-grey shoulder straps with black rayon piping. Inside is clearly size marked in black ink. Medic pocket is stamped with a faint RBnr. Judging from the construction, cloth quality and mass production “sloppy” sewing, this is a really late M43 tunic. All insignias are factory sewn in place. The tunic is in very good condition with minor signs of age and use. No holes, rips, mendings or stains. The tunic has been period sewn in a couple of centimeters to the back for a better fit.
