I think it's repro. got better pics or the collar tabs and jacket tag?

looks east germanish, if a repro, then a terrible one at that. the material looks garbradine, and only officers tunics would be made with that. and officers tunics should have french cuffs. that one does not. also, east german tunics are made from gabradine.

I'd have gone for West German myself, most of the East German stuff I've seen has 'French' cuffs and looks more 'WW2'

Any date stamps on the backs of the buttons?

The absence of patch pockets on the lower half of the tunic looks wrong to me.

Flip the collar over, can you see zig-zag stitching?

Regards
