Heer M43 tunic - Pioneer Feldwebel
I’ll post the dealer pictures first, these are from Mike Davis at the Virtual Grenadier (great service as usual), and then add a few of my own. The tunic on his website:-

His text (in case the link disappears one day, he sums it up nicely!
"Heer Pionier Feldwebel M43 service blouse, completely original service used ‘textbook’ example, constructed of mid war quality German wool and lined in pale grey colored rayon, stamped with RBNr, size markings and M.44 depot, with internal belt support straps of webbed materials, bandage pocket and collar liner buttons of pressed paper, cuff buttons are of grey colored glass, the blue painted pebbled steel buttons are originally sewn and no buttons are missing, with steel hook and eye at the throat, having four patch pockets with straight pocket flaps, the factory applied insignia included straight machine stitched subdued collar patches and subdued woven national emblem applied in the ‘zip and flip’ style with the lower edges being straight machine stitched, the matched pair of slip on shoulder straps are the later style constructed of darker and coarser wool, these have synthetic piping and rayon reinforcing materials, both collar and shoulder straps have matching non metallic NCO tresse and straps appear to be original to the garment, there are original loops for two breast badges and an EKII ribbon is sewn to the buttonhole, garment with some age yellowing and overall light wear, the two rear belt hook support hole positions have areas of abrading, a lower corner of the right breast pocket has a small abraded area, otherwise there are no other damaged areas or alterations"
Although Luftwaffe enlisted uniforms is probably my main interest I quite like the later war Heer uniforms too. I have an M42 and an M44 feldbluse, but there was a yawning chasm in between (an M43…)
