Interesting generals grouping.

HI Nick,

It was being offered for sell, buy the same dealer.

Ahh, I see.

Well since I opened my mouth about another generals eagle already today, I'll go ahead with my opinion on this one. It isn't the quality I would expect to see on a generals tunic. Thing looks pretty well worn out too and poorly applied compared to the rest of the insignia. While I have seen some officer eagles that were 'cruder' than others and were good ones, not on generals uniforms. Coastal artillery/Kriegsmarine maybe.

Interesting that Bob Hritz is inquiring about an "H. Hofman" and shows a Heer General's uniform... any connections?

No cponnection. I was asking about a tunic in my collection that is not named, other than the name on the removeable collar liner. My tunic is tailored in Bern, Switzerland.

Bob thats an interesting aspect, being tailored in Switzerland. I like finding pieces made in other nations than Germany,or items with city names attached it makes it interesting.

Tunic

I guess my take on it falls back to advice I was given long ago by experienced collectors. When collecting TR if there one question, one thing that does not make sense or looks odd- walk away. You may loose out sometimes but I found that simple rule as saved me a lot of pain and money.

When you start slinging around 12 K you better feel damn good about what you are buying. I would pass if I heard myself saying one "if" "but" "maybe" or "Could be" and with that grouping I have a lot of quesitons already mentioned above.

The other Generals grouping he has looks more interesting. That General Staff piped tunic looks fantastic. I wish he had more pictures of it.

It appears that the collar was too small for the collar tabs. I too would not want to sling 12K to a dealer like this. I just wouldn't feel comfortable. I imagine he's trying to catch one of those tin foil collectors-the "if it's shiny and expensive, it must be good" collectors.

I personally am saving my money for something really special when it comes along. I would expect better care and quality when it comes to one of the highest officers of the Third Reich.
