Hello everyone,

I would like to share some pictures of this tunic.
Looking forward to your comments! If you want any more close-ups please let me know!

Thanks

No expert by any stretch of the imagination, but it certainly has 'the look.'

Not Knowing a hole lot about SS tunics but trying to learn there is something odd that I have noticed and that is what appears to be a spare button hole in line with the bottom pocket flaps just off center any thoughts.

That is what I personally liked a lot! He made that new button hole himself and added an extra button. My guess is that he had worn his belt and pouches under the tunic but that is just a guess! There is definitely a reason for doing this!

The jacket is OK, but why not a yellow waffenfarbe?

Thanks for the quick reply Klause just something that caught my eye you can defiantly see it was hand stitched

I agree with Lebus, the Waffenfarbe should be a mustard yellow, not Lemon, that is Signals and certainly not pink.

There were of course also Panzerjäger serving in a Kavallerie Division. In this case 22.Panzerjäger-Battalion.

Not sure what the game is here but I think that Klaus would like to make it clear that he's just looking for second opinions here and apologies that he missed the most obvious fakery of the insignia.

Hi Klaus, the basic tunic itself is good. The issue of the odd extra button hole is strange, but who knows why and where this was added.

However, the Maria Theresia collar tab is bad. Clearly the tunic has been restored.

Cheers, Ade.
