Hi guys,

Have a look at this tunic. Can you believe a dealer is trying to fob this off as original

. The tunic is original apparently but is not sure about the insignia.....

If its an original tunic then ill be damned

Please compare and then decide. The tunic you have posted is not authentic. Nor is the insignia. Very sorry to impart such harsh news, but there is little nice about black woolens.

further data...the best fakes of these have come from no. Germany and certain glamor dealers, I think.
All the images I have appended are of authentic items.

Though I am no God, I can assure you that you are not damned.

Happy foetid woolens to all seekers of truth.

This tunic is not mine mate but thanks for the comments, its a shame to see dealers calling something original when all they need do ins authenticate it....

All the best, Donnie.

head wear....by the way, we salute all the armies of NATO and partner nations in their fight in AFG and where ever. I otherwise do not make political statements, but for those who know me, then I do say the above.

Donnie-
Any dealer who would purport this tunic to be an original is either totally ignorant or not to be trusted on anything. There are so many errors in this piece such as incorrect collar piping for an officer rank, incorrect form of RZM tag, incorrect fabric and of course, the poor fake insignia. Study the examples posted by our resident guru FB of these ebony treasures and your knowledge will quickly increase.
