Gebirgsjäger Geb. J.R.136 Unit Marked M40 Great Coat mortar While the German army didOriginal decent condition M40 great coat marked to Gebirgsjger regiment 136! There is even a light shadow on the sleeve where there was once an edelweiss. It fits an American size 38 pretty well. I wear a 38 40 and it is a good to slightly tight fit. It has a bit of a German stank to it, so prepare your nose. It looks like it might have had officers fixed should boards at one time, then they were cut out and the soldier replaced them with string loops
