Heer Summer Tunic
I found this Heer Summer Tunic on a bidding site and am interested in purchasing it. I just wanted to get additional advice, input on it before I decide whether or not to pursue it. I recently purchased a Heer Waffenrock and have wanted to add a combat tunic to my collection ever since. Any and all opinions are welcome as always!
P.S. here's the link to the site for additional pictures and information: https://www.ratisbons.com/19th-Conte...-Leutnant.html
I’m still learning a lot (and have a ton to learn) about German Tunics, but as the site says it’s a Jäger regiment Tunic. Jäger implies that it was a skirmish or light infantry correct?
Wish I could help you CH...personally, I don't care for it. Don't like the collar tab stitching...(don't know how they can claim definitely war time sewn), eagle is a variant I have never seen. It may be correct...maybe not. I would wait for a nicer one. Just my opinion
I've purchased a number of fine items from Ratisbons, but you need to vet their items.
I agree with David, something is off.
Maybe Fred Green can help with the insignia. Send him a PM.
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

Looks fine.
Bear in mind this is tailor made throughout, including the insignia.

Hello,
Beautiful summer tunic! Love the cut, color and insignia. The sleeve oak leaves are superb and hand embroidered. I have an eagle that is a very close relative to this one but in better shape. Overall a fantastic tunic in my eyes.

Thanks! Do the collar tabs and insignia appear original as well? I’ve never seen a breast insignia like this one beforeby Fred Green
Nevermind about the insignia, just re-read your post haha
Sadly I was outbid, but I appreciate the help and will have to continue to keep an eye out for similar tunics!
