Vintage 1940s Swedish Army Work Overshirt

As pictured

Cosmetic imperfections- faded streak on the right rear side behind the arm, small areas of surface rust on the metal buttons (rust can be removed with fine wire wool) & tiny needle holes on the upper right arm where an insignia patch has been removed- see the photos for all of these. Otherwise physical condition is excellent, appears to be unused new old stock.
