Heer Stug wrapper

[Jerry B]

The wrap looks mint, but the wool material of the boards look worn and is very different (as Ade posted), so not a good one, IMO.

Hi Tom, actually, the deathsheads you show are not Heer collar insignia used by various arms of the Panzerwaffe, but are tradition cap badges worn by a couple of Heer Regt's and the SS.

The collar tab insignia on the jacke are possibly original, but there is some surface pitting to them by the looks of it. Could be original and corroded or badly cast copies. A peek at the back would tell the full story as always.

Heer Panzerwaffe deathsheads are a study in their own right. Many subtle differences in design due to many different makers.

Cheers, Ade.

No worries. Like I say, a study in their own right.

One of these days we should make a database of known original Heer collar tab deathsheads. Just for show, here is one of mine. You will notice straight away the slight design differences to those on the jacke.

Cheers, Ade.
