Hello forum...
I got this in the mail yesterday.
I bought it from a WWII US Army veterans son. It was packed in a footlocker all these years... and the visor got squashed. The bill needs to be sewn back on... as well as the button to attach the leather chin strap.
It appears to be a panzer parade tunic?
The tunic is in awesome shape... but... the GI added some cockades to the shoulder boards that would come off. There is also a stain on the interior lining... that bleeds slightly to the outside (lower left side/front). No tailor label?
The eagle fell of the cap.... Dead spider was included when I looked under the sweat band to the hat. Looks like: 5th Panzer?
Sorry I didn't take better photos... I am heading out shortly to the SOS...
Can someone give me an idea as to value for the lot... as is? Dead spider is not included.
I generally don't collect uniforms.
Thanks... Robert
