One can observe the "oval" shape of the roundel on the originals on these. A good study for those who have questions of authenticity & what to look for in an original

Thanks David I try to get as detailed shots as I can, especially of the fabric and stitching. I love the variances in the three, each have their own character and fingerprint. For the sake of clairity, the upper armband is cotton and the two lower are wool, the bottom one being the tagged example. Best regards.

Ya Phil I had a heck of a year collecting and believe me I am grateful for it! I missed out a couple months ago on the oakleaves document, and a nice parade tunic a couple of weeks ago but no complaints from me. Thanks brother.

I don't know why but it seems like there is a lot of German memorabilia in Pa. . Did you pick most of your new items around the area Brian ? Nice pick up for sure. You are on a roll....

Hey Raz to be sure there is alot of militaria floating around these parts, with the amount of blue collar jobs like mining and manufacturing in the state this part especially was heavily populated; and mostly with middle to lower class working people so, certainly alot of them and their children were combatants in the war. One of the most famous local veterans was Michael Strank (one of the marine flag raisers on Iwo Jima, KIA there as well). But unfortunately no, these pieces I did not purchase locally the cotton band was from Bill Shea and the two wool bands I purchased from the same seller I met off of eBay. I m also in the process of purchasing an early Perkuro cap off him as well. I'd love to buy locally but there are some folks who travel in my circle with similar tastes, who have deep pockets and I can't compete, so I half to be savvy and study alot. Here's the tunic I missed out on. A local item. Best regards
