Re GFM Tunic

Hi Mike,

But still nice though.
I wonder what a genuine one would cost to buy.

Hello,
Here are my two favourites for 2008, two heavily faded '41 dated 1st pattern tropical tunics. The NCO tunic has been completely stripped of insignia including the NCO tress from around the collar. I do intend upon restoring it to it's former glory and have found all of the pieces that I need to do so including a beautiful pair of early tropical Oberfeldwebel PzGren shoulderstraps. The tunic is id'd to a Oberfeldwebel who served in North Africa as an Infantryman, so I took this to be a Rifle Regiment.

Erwin, great luft pieces, you have my dream piece, the Luft sump 3/4 field division jacket, I always miss getting them!

Update!
My last buy of 2008 arrived, a nicely marked 'Peek & Cloppenburg' EM's tropical greatcoat (standard 1940 pattern). Very nicely worn with the soldiers initials on the twill liner. After this, 2009 will have to be a quiet year
Regards,
Mark.

Just back from holiday and I stumbled on this thread. Absolutely unbelievable tunics that you guys have accumalated. I am feeling faint and my palms are all sweaty. Wow. Jacques

[Richard P]

Jacques my friend,

Remember when you were young and you used to get that reaction around pretty girls? I'm glad at your age that there is still something out there that excites you. Anything arrive in the mail from sunny California yet?

[TONY Q.W.]

Killer coat Mark!

All the best,

[NZMark]

Thanks Tony (& Jerry!)
In answer to a query, the shoulder strap loops and buttons have been removed, but the sewing lines are still visible. All the other buttons are period sewn ('F&Co' marked) and the small rear skirt and collar buttons are blue glass.

[NZMark]

...and the markings as per request. Love It.
Regards,
Mark.

Unbelievable faded tunics Mark G! Nothing beats a sun faded 1st pattern DAK tunic IMO.
Nice overcoat also NZMark! What is it with all the good DAK stuff going to guys named Mark
