m43 armored officer tunic KITEL

[pep]

I collect mainly german panzer tunics. lately I've been hunting some allied tunics from armored units. now, I would like to find and original from the soviet ww2 tank units. found this one. it has ink stamps from 1943. trousers have 1944 markings. unfortunately I have no experience in world war two russian uniforms. is it a legit set??

only have these pics. still not in my hands.

Fake stamps. Orders, ribbons and badges are also all postwar (late 50's up to late 80's).

It may be post war?

but the tunic still looks impressive with shoulder boards and medals.

marcel ...

due the extreme raarity to find an original WW2 tunic from armored service, I'm considerating to buy it for display purposes. I give no value on the awards and ribbons theirselves. from the first time I thought they were post war. placed only to make the uniform more desirable. but concerning the tunic itself, what would be a reasonable price for it??

by the way, if you know about or you have a nice original WW2 soviet armored tunic available for sale, let me know.

advanced thanks for kind cooperation.

Tunic itself could be wartime, don't understand why seller put fake stamps on - most of such a tunics are personally purchased and never has any stamps.
All badges on tunic are late postwar items put on wrong places.
Boards are right shape but wrong stars and buttons.
Bridges are postwar with fake stamps.

What do you mean "why?" ?

Hard to say if wartime or postwar. But the fake stamps ruin a lot imo. Would maybe sell on Ebay to an un-educated buyer but anyone who knows even just a tiny bit about these uniforms can see the stamps are fake. A shame.
