Ludovico,

Yes! Now you see it. The notch of the lapels is quite different. All the estive uniforms pictured have four buttons, not three. Only officer's and warrant officers were entitled to the all white uniform according to regulations. NCO and other ranks wore the standard blue service tunic during summer months. So I don't know what it is. I guess it could be a more modern version (three buttons, wider lapels - a fashion/time period issue). I still don't have any pictures to show one way or another.

I am looking for a more period looking estive tunic if anyone knows of one for sale or trade.

Cheers,

Tod
