Converted pre TR period pea jacket, is that a Weimar eagle on the reverse of the button?. More pics including close ups of the insignia application and the lining would help, but it seems ok so far.

I think Jerry is right.
I haven't seen this type of lining before but it looks ok overall.

thanks any idea of value / it comes with a cap....kev

Usually these are sold for 400-500 euros. Of course this one is more rare so maybe a bit more.
Have you authenticate the cap?
If everything is ok about it with originally applied insignia, i would say 200-250 euros. Depends on it's condition too.
I found recently a very nice one in black color, instead of the standard navy blue, which makes it very rare and i paid 250 euros. Of course the price was better as it was purchased from a friend.

hi cap is good will show pics ,are you interested ?

**don_kihotis7** · 07-02-2012, 03:14 PM

I would expect to see a cockade like this and also to be machine sewn instead of hand sewn like yours.
Maybe a more experienced member on insignia can comment.

In the same way as you have black cap for the KM with blue backed cockade, this cap is blue with a black backed cockade and it's not a problem IMO.

I like the jacket and I remember seeing pics of one with a lining the same/similar to this, but sadly I can't remember where, so I could not be 100% that it is period. You could try posting it on Atlantik-Pirat forum.
