St.Lukas Posted March 16, 2021 Share #2 Posted March 16, 2021 Collar tabs most likely added postwar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toitoine66 Posted March 24, 2021 Author Share #4 Posted March 24, 2021 I can't tell but I already saw some japanese jackets with different tints colars tabs. If I m correct there where so many different tints into the japanese army. Pictures from other coats or jackets: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St.Lukas Posted March 24, 2021 Share #5 Posted March 24, 2021 Always post photos of reverse of collar. Collar tabs should be tacked stitched on. Almost invisible. Red thread is totally incorrect as well as large loopy stitching. Best rule to judge is if tunic is mint without a handwritten, inked owners name on interior label then all insignia are suspect of post war enhancement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pictures from other coats or jackets: And let's not forget that the star point should be pointed straight up towards the chin when the collar is closed like in photo 1 and2 and in the drawing, the tabs in photo 3 should be flip flopped Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
