Hello,

Can I get your guys opinions on the insignia on what is a fairly salty tunic.

Thanks

All appears to be original insignia which is originlly sewn to the tunic.

The right wing of the breast eagle has becoame slightly detactched: in this case not a bad thing as it shows the underlying colour and wear.

Cheers, Ade.

Thanks Ade,

In your guys' opinions, do you think this is a converted waffenfrock for combat use?

Looks like a coventional tailor made tunic to me.

Cheers, Ade.

Hello,
The tunic looks like a private purchased one.
All insignia are original..not sure the SB and collar tabs are period applied...i would need to handle it to say so...
Thanks

Thanks guys, was $695 an okay price for this one?

**Adrian Stevenson** · 01-24-2010, 08:28 PM

Sounds OK to me. You have not over paid for it.

Cheers, Ade.

I agree, sounds like a fair price to me....
Thanks

Thanks Guys

Just recieved it today; here are some close up pics of the insignia. Eagle I think is original sewn. SBs I think are original sewn also because their ruggedness seems to match the overall character of the tunic. Tabs I just do not know. I think they have been re-set; post war or during war, I am not sure of.
