Hello all,
I've had the Gebirgsjager officer's windjacke, picured below, in my collection for some years now. Some time ago I gave up on Third Reich militaria when I realized just how full of fakes that field is. These days, I focus on late nineteenth century uniform exclusively (1850's-1914).
Thus, my question is, what is this uniform worth on today's market?
I've been looking around, I haven't been able to find one of these for sale. Apparently, they were only issued to a fraction of Gebirgsjager and aren't all that easy to find.
This particular tunic has a nice set of period 1LT's insignia, a Edelweiss arm badge, and all but one original horn button. The condition is "salty" throughout but it still dislays extremely well. There's a small field-repaired rip on the rear of the left arm, it would be nearly hard to display this uniform with it showing. The field repair is well-stitched up, and would keep the wind out.
Thanks,
