Having seen the thread HBT tunic - panzer insignia posted by AM reenactorfest and read the opinions:

I thought I would post one of my tunics for a comparison.
I bought this HBT tunic (w/o shoulder straps) back in the 70's from the owner of the local coin store, who also bought and sold German militaria as a sideline. This dealer is still in business today but now deals almost exclusively in coins, but back in the day he bought a fair deal of German medals, tunics, helmets, etc. but all locally. From people who walked in off the street with something to sell/get rid of. Coins were and are his bread and butter.
As far as I know this tunic, most likely a vet bringback, is an untouched original with period sewn insignia. But I will say no more about it for now, please feel free to state your opinions. 16 pics to follow.
