Some of you will remember this tunic from the Konklin Fraud Benefit Auction named to Lt. Col. Karl Steppan who was for a short time commander of the II Battalion, 12th Schutzen Rgt. We completed restoration on it using all period materials and sewing techniques. My friend is a master and it is impossible to tell it has been restored. He works on US Military uniforms for many museums in the US. I built the boards and aged the insignia. This is why I don't trust many things we see as "untouched"

Herr Oberst Steppan. . .he had a bit of a belly so it does not hang on the form correctly below the belt, note the waist seam. My form is too thin to display it properly.Attached FilesLast edited by Johnny R; 12-06-2008, 05:15 PM.
