I've always wanted to see picture of tunic like that! Thanks a lot for sharing.

Drew - Yes, I picked it up from Winkler. I was searching for a "cheap" waffenrock for a recruiter when I stumbled upon this beauty. I'd been looking for a shoulder board for this unit for a couple of years and could never find one. I never expected to find a complete tunic. I got it at a very fair price too.

I thought this had looked familiar... I saw this too and was seriously considering picking it up ... I saw a beautiful KM Helmet from Bill Shea though and decided I couldn't do both at the same time ... I am glad someone from this forum got it ... and will appreciate it .
Thanks for your comments John. As for the frames - I make them myself. It's impossible to find frames that will fit shoulder boards and it would be too cost prohibitive to buy them even if I could. It's a time consuming endeavor, but I think the results are worth the effort.
