Hermann Göring panzer tunic

[Pavlos]

This panzer tunic is for sale for 2300 USD, I have no idea if this is much or not, this is the first Hermann Göring panzer tunic I saw for sale. Is this an original piece? can anyone help me? I have some doubt. Thanks

I believe your doubt is founded.

The treatment of the uniform (on the floor) and poor pics do not give much confidence to begin with.

If an original HG wrap I think the price tag would be a bargain.

IMO it is a complete fake - I'm not liking the skulls, the teeth especially appear too 'straight' compared to originals.

The wool thread doesn't seem period correct. Additionally all originals I have seen appear to have white piping on the collars.

I'm certainly no expert - So as always I will be happily proved wrong here.

Cheers & best regards

An original period photograph, note the lack of white piping around the collar. I would think that the tunic was merely put on the floor to photograph. Not that any of this proves or disproves authenticity!
