There is no difference between the mid war OA tunic and the 1950's one, the early war tunic had 'cuff' sleeves, a seam around the lower arm about 5 inches up. But after 1941 they did away with this, and the tunic stayed the same until late 1950's. Most wartime tunics have a silk or printed shoulder eagle, whereas the post war tunics has an embroidered eagle sometimes on a dark background. All tunics had the white cloth label and were dated. In my experience, people remove a post war dated label so as to sell it as WW2. Post some pictures if you can. Jules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
