Final view of the back showing the four panel cut. Notice the similarities and differences in the two tunics. Bernd feels this is also a Weimar Republic period tunic that was carried over into the NS Zeit.
The one thing that these tunics seem to have in common is that they show heavy wear. I tend to believe that they were simply worn, and altered, until they were about worn out. That includes mine as the neck and fabric shows very heavy wear. It also appears that the buttons were moved to the outside of the flap at some time in its life, perhaps to meet new regulations to look more like the example that Pat shows. My tunic was manufactured as a concealed button tunic however.
