Wounded bird Austrian cardigan, a bit as is but still lovely. Soft cream wool knit with ribbed waist and colourful crochet neckline trim in red and green. Buttons to the front with five green shank buttons. Long sleeve. Small floral embroidery clusters to the front. Ribbed waistband with yarn band slotted through little loops at the top.

CONDITION
This is a wounded bird but still very wearable.
-Buttons have been replaced, but are original 40s buttons. Probably originally had metal buttons?
-Several marks, mainly to the sleeves but some smaller stitch sized spots here and there, fairly faint but still visible.
-Some fade to the coloured yarn at the waist and some of the flower embroidery.
-Large knitted patch darn to the underarm and small darn to the elbow of the sleeve.
Priced to reflect. Still a sweet piece.
