Swedish. Not Swiss. Volvo, not Rolex.

+1 on the above - the three crowns on the jacket mark it as property of the Swedish crown and that it was military issue I believe - you sometimes find modern jackets with the three crowns replaced by three globes, which iirc denotes export or export approved.

Cool jacket - good luck with the sale

Thanks for the info. I appreciate the clarification.

If it's information you're comfortable giving out (I know folks have differing views on that sort of thing), it might help the sale to mention that these Swedish tunics were pretty much identical to those worn by the Wehrmacht; as such, many re-enactors who protray Wehrmacht have used these over the years, with some small adaptations.

Yeah it's Swedish, I have one too, in NOS conditions.
