Description
M43 Shoulder boards made of custom made Italian wool, cotton/rayon mixed piping. This type of wool ( Grigio Verde ) was used after, Italy surrendered (1943) ,German armed forces occupied the remaining military installations and confiscated remaining stocks of uniforms and raw materials. Shortly thereafter, the Germans began using Italian fabrics in the production of their own uniforms and insignia.
Buttonholes are same type as original "keyhole" type (cut before) with bartack. In this type of buttonhole there is no fabric between the stitching lines. This is because the cut-before
machine will first cut the buttonhole slit and eyelet, then stitch the
buttonhole. The stitching overcasts the raw edges of the cut, preventing
them from fraying.
