condition, condition, condition???
Condition, condition, condition?
I think it has A LOT OF character in this (field use) condition....I love the shoulderboards in this weathered condition and collar and trouser repairs. Reversed litzen could be a period oversite not uncommon at all! Some people (like myself) don't mind paying too much for "experienced" pieces, like this light weight summer tunic. Its been places (Caucasus front?), who knows? If it could only talk!
On the other hand many prestine flawless (minty) uniforms are nothing but left over "best wear" garments that survived because these were left in family closets at home ("urlaub uniforms" not "front einsatz" uniforms ...not very thrilling to me such mint closet survivers, never exposed to the elements of the steppes of Mother Russia!! Unlike this (weather beaten) set!
This piece talks to you!!!! I like it A LOT!!Last edited by NickG; 06-14-2008, 07:27 PM.

That's good for you Nick if you like it. I would say go for it. Still you won't change my opinion. Condition is what makes something worth. Look at the prizes of mint things and than look at the prices of worn out things ! Also, when you buy a worn off thing, just try to sell it a year later !!? Nobody wants it my dear old chap. I've experienced it so many times in my collecting carreer, allthough I still think that things that have been there are HISTORICAL more worth.

i would like to say i like combat worn tunics, but al its insignia should be original to the tunic ore atleast properly restored and mentioned.
Sure mint german tunics are great to,but i think harder to find then the used ones
but with commenwealht and free forces serving them,it looks like its the opposite way, there it is hard to find a combat worn tunic with original
insignia
but its al depends how your collection is made out,ore how you see your own collection
i would say, tray to go for used but not abused tunics
and if proven rare like lets say a field divisons smock of the lw
i would'n mind if its more battle worn
best regards
