KM tunics made in Denmark are rare, and when they do pop up, they are usually from a factory in Copenhagen. This one however is even more interesting since it was manufactured by Chr. Juncher A/S, a clothing factory based in the small provincial town of Randers.
Apart from some superficial moth tracking here and there, the tunic is in excellent condition with no repairs. The big patches inside the shoulder area is just extra padding.
Included is an adjudant's aiguillette - it was there when I got the tunic and I've never removed it. Judging by the be.. |  |

Here we have a classic 'Hartmann' jacket with the large pointed collar, high waistline, zippers on the breast pockets and flaps on the hip pockets.
This one has been modified with the addition of a knitted waistline band as seen on the summer flight jackets, making it quite unique. Also a large map pocket has been added inside the left breast area.
The nicely worn cupal breast eagle is pinned through three small loops. Most of the silver finish is gone from the back of the eagle.
Jacket has well worn slip on shoulderboards for a Feldwebel.

It is made of high quality, very smooth cloth.

The blouse shows overall wear, inside and outside. The insignia has matching wear, although the collar patches show less wear than the eagle and shoulder boards.
