Here is an overcoat I picked up this weekend. Evreything looks good to me with the exception of a few replaced or missing buttons and the sew in type shoulder boards have been cut off.
On the inside are the usual arsenal stamps along with a unit stamp:
2/ Pz Regt 11 and a sewn in name tag for:
Panzerschutze Franz Koehne
2/ Pz - Rgt. 11
What should I do here? I would like to replace the shoulder boards if this is supposed to have shoulder boards. And if so, what type should it have? It looks like the top part of the board is a dark green like on the Waffenrock boards and the piping appears to be pink although could be red. If so is this a wartime mistake or someone later added artillery boards and then cut them off?
From the looks of the inside of the arms it does not appear to have been tampered with and I did not pay too much for this so I doubt anything was done to this to bring a higher price.
I would appreciate all of your thoughts or comments on this.
Thanks!!
Brad
