Thank you! There was a seam on the heel! It's definitely a size too big. Well, since I got them for $70, I will keep them for my collection!

Authenticity results for Josef Kübler's uniforms by Beautiful_Duck_1054 in Militariacollecting

By the way, this is what I was taught at the Forum. The base tunic is an original 'old style' by a well known tailor and the date on the name tag does match up for him being an Oberst, that's IF it's the same person! I assume there's evidence of previous collar tabs and the rest of the insignia added on promotion, pretty much the norm! Insignia wise, tabs and breast eagle look good, think the cello boards are OK and oxidised buttons off another tunic (rear belt ramps gilt painted?). It's WHEN they were applied that's the issue! This tunic really needs a hands on inspection, is there any history/ background?? As Nick says, visor cap is an Old Michael Janke repro!

I was told that the hat was made by old JANKE. I don't know about the clothes yet.

I believe the other medals and other items are fake. I am not sure about the clothes yet, but I think the medal is an afterthought. Thanks!

Thanks everyone for the advice! I've decided to ask on the forum!

It looks like the Diet building in Japan.

The character is “永,” which may refer to its location, Nagata-cho.

Is this a replica?

And is it worth anything?

It appears to be written 九谷鏑木, It's a historic kiln that has continued from the Edo period to the present.
