My final purchase of the show was the budget busting item. A fellow collector and also fellow retired army officer that I've known for years always has high end stuff in his collection and fortunately for the rest of us, he rotates some of it in and out. I have a 2nd pattern piped collar panzer wrapper in my collection that I've owned for about 30 years. However, the collar piping was applied post-factory at the discretion of the officer who wore it. That was a very common practice among panzer guys for their "best" wrapper that they kept at home to wear on leave etc. despite the fact that collar piping was ordered removed in 1940. Therefore, we know of a lot of wrappers whose owners took it upon themselves to restore the pre- 1940 order look. I've never owned a 2nd pattern piped collar wrapper with factory applied collar piping, so this example really tugged at my heart and wallet. It is 1939 dated and is in nearly stone mint condition.
