111 FAR Litewka

[ccj]

I was looking at this tunic but want opinions.

It looks correct in every way. Shows use and minimal damage.

I'm looking for opinions from experienced uniform collectors.

You are correct Chip. It's a Kleiner Rock, not a Litewka. The low collar is more often seen with the older Litewka or on the General's Litewka.

Does anyone have a list of commanders or Oberstlt serving in FAR111?
