Hi Gents

Eric,

There is a very slight possibility that they might be just crappy private purchase examples, but they don't belong on an issue Bluse anyway. A Bluse from a non-Bavarian unit would nearly always have the shoulder straps whip stitched on to the shoulder, not into the shoulder seam. I would take these off, sew the holes back up and then add proper examples. If you want to go infantry, you would be looking for a pair from IR.78, 73, 74, 79,164, 77, 92 or FAR 26, 62, 10, 46. Of course, there are many other possibilities. If you need some help, let me know.

Well, as said, I suppose they could be just crappy originals and they were added when the collar was altered.
