    Scarce DDR paratroop Enlisted Man parade tunic found!!!

    I recently purchased a nice stone mint DDR paratroop enlisted man parade tunic for only $18 at a local surplus store near my home last Tuesday. This 1974-dated DDR para EM tunic came with cuff bars. I spoke with my local friend who also collect DDR tunics about my big find. He had bought identical para EM parade tunic for same price at same local surplus store. The identical para tunic with cuff bars was sold for in excess of $100 on a major DDR militaria dealer's website. My friend told me in private email that the para EM parade tunics are very excessively rare. My DDR para parade tunic was made out of wooly material and was open -collared. Any collector out who have the tough to find para EM parade tunic with cuff bars??? I also found a similiar tunic on German eBay for 95 Euros(roughly $130!) What a hell of deal for me!!!! Im very lucky to get this scarce tunic for my collection!!!!

      Very nice James. I've got three Para Tunics, but nothing as old as yours. One however does have Parade Cuff Bars. It is an open collar NCO (Stabsfeldwebel) Tunic with Riding Breeches. But it is of Gabardine, and not Wool.

      Normally I would say "Nice find James". Congratulations. But given what it cost you, it is now an "Exceptional" find. Way to go. Please take me shopping with you some time.

              Hello,Thanks for your comments regarding my recent discovery of a rare DDR para EM parade tunic! I just got a new 2.0 megapixels Canon digital camera for Christmas. I will post the pictures of this DDR EM para tunic next month on this forum. I will have to be Association member to post those pictures on this forum. I will pay $25 for this association membership. I am currently learning to use the new digital camera. When I become the association member,I will post more photos of my DDR tunic and visor hat collection on this forum. Thanks,James
