I found pictures of M33 tunics on this forum ''http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/''. I seems that we must be member of the forum to see the pictures. Here is a link that shows a M33 tunic with a modified collar(so now the M33 tunic looks like a M36 except there is no belt supports in the front of the ...

Someone have pictures of a prewar M33 tunic? It could be at least a part of the explanation about the prewar pictures showing tunics that looks like the M40 variation.

Hmm. Not sure how much I buy into the idea of second hand linings being sewn into later jackets as a common occurrence but I suppose it's not impossible. It would be nice to see the actual jacket he has. Totally agree with you on not knowing how much an original has changed in shade over the years....

I woulkd like to see the original pictures of the 1938 Party Rally mentionned by ''At the Front'' because those guys seems to know what they are talking about. I highly doubt they would not make the difference between a M37 and a M40. There is a big difference between those models and it is extremel...

http://atthefront.com/historical_reference_g_wool_tunics.html From the link: '' There are original photos of troops at the 1938 Party Rally wearing "M40's" and my originals are dated 38, 39 and 43 respectively.'' Assuming that they do not make a mistake about the authenticity of their tuni...

In all honesty, on a strictly esthetics point of view, I prefer by far the color of this tunic over the color of my old one made by lost battalions. Of course, in reenactment, historical accuracy is more important than esthetic, this is why I do some research when I receive an item with a so big dif...

It's always hard to say from a picture, but the color is definitely a green/brown(It looks more green than brown).

Thanks everyone for your comments! I made some test with my razor and yes, I see(and feel) a difference. After the shaving, the wool feels more like the wool of a WWII sweddish tunic I have. So I guess it's a positive change.

Thanks for your comments! I agree with you on everything. And I don't know if I am right about it, but I think we have more chances to see this color on a late(made in 1943 for example) M40 tunic than on an early war example. So, I think this tunic is probably more acceptable for a late war impressi...

Hi, Few years ago I bought a M40 tunic made by Lost Battalions in Texas, but unfortunately the circumference of my chest augmented significantly in the last three years so I had to sell my tunic because it was too small anymore. Having an extremely limited budget, I bought an import tunic made by sp...

Edit: New item added to my wish list and three new items for sale/trade.

I have a really nice M40 tunic for sell. It was made several years ago by Lost battalions in Texas. Waffen SS(enlisted) insignas are included on it. The size is very small(36 chest). It is a used item but in really good shape. I would like to have 250$ for it or I would like to trade it for another ...
