Hi, i was offered this jacket, but i doubt its originality, it does not look like the original examples that i have seen.
I dont Like the buttons and the marks, but just to be sure i would like everyones opinions if possible.
Thanks.
Cheers.

I would have, but the guy "forgot" to sent me interior photos, the same way he sent a photo with bad detail of the eagle and the swastica

Hi Nuno, it stands a good chance. The buttons have been painted blue, which is incorrect.

Cheers, Ade.

These pattern jackets were also commandeered by the 12th SS Pz Div and were worn as tankers jackets in 1944.

Cheers, Ade.
