[mike1981]

Please your opinion about this tunic.
It looks nice but after first being sold it is now listed for sale again so I would like to be sure

Horizontal stitch line above the breast pocket ?

I see no Issues so far. Base Tunic is good, Insignia are good, Eagle resewn. Late War M44 for a fair Price. I would buy it.

Can't say that I really care for it.

From the pictures I like it, a last war m44 tunic maybe replaced insignias.

Those markings are terrible. I guess there was a reason the other guy didn't keep it.

A horizontal Stich Line and some markings...not make that Tunic bad. I still like it, and for that Price i will be happy to buy it from him when noone else will.

Same here. Strange that the straps are same exact fabric as the tunic, same button holes and thread colors too. Too many "councidences."
Lining too hard to tell from the poor photos that lack any details.

Wow, this must have been some time capsule! Same thread used on the tunic, insignias and shoulderstraps, the latter made from the same fabric on top of that!

Well made attempt, but only thing original about this tunic are the breast eagle and the buttons IMO.

[galizien41]

The ss Nederland m44 probably made by same hand. Same wool and button holes.

I was informed by a friend about this thread.
If the tunic has problems I would immediately remove it, plan and simple. No questions about.

I have the tunic in hands and I really can't see anything wrong, but of course I can be wrong.

I can only say the sunlight made the colors different from how they really are in hands. Also shoulder straps have a little different color if compared to the tunic. Not the first tunic I see with this configuration and in good conditions or with very close color/fabric shoulder straps.

Anyway, before burning a piece I would really know what is wrong with this tunic, not a "feeling". I am also ready to send it for hand inspection if someone wants to take a look.
Willi, Glen, Galizien, no problem at all. Just let me know and I will be more than happy.

Thanks guys.

No, two different late war wools and colors. About button holes I found tens of tunic with the same button holes...

No need, just sell it to me. I buy it with pleasure for the full price, write me a PM. Thx

Dear Antonio, besides the points already made by me and the others, it just sums up. I realize textbook should never be the norm, especially when it comes to late war garments, but the off liner, markings....for me this tunic is beyond only a bad "feeling".

But I will be the first to admit, that nothing beats the in hand inspection. For that matter, enjoy it AntiqueWW2.

[AntiqueWW2]

That is why i want it....for me this one is something i want to have in my Hands. Some markings or lining is nothing what would make me run so quickly. Special with M44 Tunics, where the Word Textbook goes right out the Window....at least for me. Will take a good close look. Of course if someone from the Members who posted here it is not good want to take first a closer look, i am sure Antonio will be happy to send who ever want to look at it first, and then sell it to me...
