Need help! To identify Swedish tunic (1910 pattern?)

This tunic is a recent purchase but I cant find any info on anything like it anywhere. It looks very similar to Swedish 1910 pattern tunics with regard to the cuffs, the buttons and the collar. Its made from a grey-blue fine weave fabric with red piping and has a makers badge inside reading ‘CVB Karlskrona’. Is it an artillery tunic? its too fine a cloth to last long in battle so I assume its some kind of dress tunic. Any info would be great help.

Thanks.

Medical Pannier

Well, another unexpected find !

While rummaging around a local reclaim yard (which I've visited many times,) I decided to check out an old shed in the farthest corner.

There was nothing inside, bar a workbench with what looked to be a wicker pigeon transport box.
I turned around to leave the shed, and at the last moment I thought I would just lift up the front ... and Bingo !!!!
A totally untouched Medical pannier with full painted markings !!!

A nice surprise, although suffering from 60 years of grime and cobwebs ...

Enjoy !

Need help! Airborne patch lot

I picked up this patch lot from a friend who did an old estate buy-out. I believe all are WW2 era patches. My concern is the Screaming Eagle patches. i know that they were used through Viet Nam and newer. My question is are these WW2 era eagles? The tan borders lead me to believe yes. However with so many variants out there and the fact my main interest is SS/German stuff, i need a little help here. So are the Eagles WW2 ?
