Hi all, apart from the fact that this tunic's as genuine as a US$13 note (very likely a garment made by Janke!)....the M44 below the size markings is not the model designation;M is the first letter of the Wehrkries depot that processed theissue of the garment (in this case Munich),and 44 is the date ! Hope that helps Manny P.S.;I have attached a picture of the markings of a REAL M44 tunic made of a brownish shade of the so-called Russischer Stoff...apart from a double dose of RBNr you can read 180-188,which means that the garment was tailored for a soldier whose height was between 1,80 and 1,88mt,the regular sizes and the first letter of the depot(M for Munich) and year,which in this case is 44!
