I do have a couple more used originally badge uniforms,
heres a untouched uncleaned greatcoat not rare i know but the tourch is also it's originally attached one.sorry for the crap photos will take some more if any interest.
This tunic belonged to the later Generalleutnant Walter Botsch (RK 8-5-45), who at the time he wore this uniform was a Oberst and Chief of the General Staff of XXX. Army-Corps, Heeresgruppe Süd (approx '41-42).
The tunic Alter Art is a in-direct purchase from his family and came with his Schirmmütze and long straight trousers. The Verw.Abz. 1918 was on it, other awards would include the EK1 1914 + WiederholungsSpange and DKIG.
What is pretty neat about the tunic is the fact that it has several period repairs and is pretty worn down, remarkably for such a high ranking officer. No doubt this one was worn far away from Die Heimat!
Fantastic! I also will take salty-worn-repaired tunics any day over mint! I used to be one of those "It has to be perfect" collectors until I woke up LOL!
Great stuff Gents and I hope this thread has a long running life!
Kev

Beautiful greatcoat but your torch is a post-war specimen
Some beautiful jackets in this thread. I only collect worn uniforms. Here is one of my saltiest, an Infanterie M40 with lots of honest wear. Tabs and eagle factory machine applied.
