Wehrmacht M 1944 Feldbluse. Panzergrenadier Lieutenant

Wehrmacht M44 Feldbluse. Panzergrenadier Lieutenant. Salty, heavily worn example, however, no damage. The tunic made of Italian diagonal wool; the approximate size is 48 (medium). Marked with RB Nr.,  coded manufacturer number - 0/0260 / 2461 and size. The tunic was in the rank of NCO, as evidenced by traces from enlisted collar tabs, as well as a hint from NCO Tresse at the edge of the collar and later owner upgraded it to the officer's rank. Although that was not typical for late war tunics, but some tunics had Tresse, as evidenced by period photographs. The breast eagle is hand-embroidered on the Feldgrau-colored wool and attached over the standard triangular-shaped M44 eagle. All buttons on the tunic are original to it and never replaced. Tunic’s pocket with loops and holes punched for awards, as well as on top of the pocket there are traces from close combat clasp. Nice tunic in combat worn but still an excellent condition, with traces of frontline use.
