Opinion on SS Panzer M42 Tunic

[Badto666]

Benvk: The angle of the pic is not the best but I think that atleast the runic tab is a good bevo tab and the rank tab looks promising too imho but to be sure I will leave it to the experts

the runic tab is 1st class.

Thanks guys for your input so far, I am looking at purchasing this tunic, Just wanted to be sure it has not been pieced together, have read a lot of storeys on bad tunics, Tunic are not my field, just want to add one to my collection.

SS PanzerGranadiere never used green piping but White.

I'm very puzzled by the way you guys all go about authenticating a tunic. It seems very random.

I would like to know:

1. Is the base tunic original?
2. Are all the insignia by themselves original items.
3. Are the insignia sewn to the tunic in a manor that would be deemed original?
4. If you agree that they have, what is your expertise in knowing what period sewing looks like?

Indeed, green is for mountain troops, had a senior moment earlier and the Heer used this colour for panzer grenadiers, so at least the shoulder boards are wrong.

I agree Ben, Some very strange and conflicting comments on this ones originality.
