M1943 Field General
Though 'field' genrals have shown up now and then, they are often converted service tunics in that they still have piping but have the subdued buttons and boards. Here is a genuine field uniform for a general though, without any piping (other than the boards) and subdued buttons, no trouser stripes, and no colored cap insignia. The hole was there for an HSU so I added a replica for display.

quality
The quality is very good, same as service M1943 generals tunic. The cap badge is a standard M1940, but with the green field paint on it; this was pretty rare, most often this type of hat was worn with a regular M1940 generals cap badge. Thats why i like this combination; very 'field'.

Very nice indeed. The cap has a nice "bus-driver" shape to it too :thumbsup
