    Cavalry tunic

    Any thoughts on this one? Except for the panzer badge and feldspange which are supposed to be repro.
    Thanks

    Looks promising. Highly Ranked is it named?

      I tried to research that one with the assumption the awards belonged to the owner but could not match it with the awards and rank. If the awards are not part of the tunic then it fits several people. The kicker that did not fit with about 20 officers who could have worn it was the WWI Silver wound badge.

      The unit was disbanded in 1939 but many officers would "update" their last peacetime unit tunics with rank and awards for formal wear so it gets very tricky, even if they were assigned to Panzer of Panzer Gren. they still would wear the tunics of their "last peace-time unit". They seem to have done this very often in the Cavalry and it makes it very hard to figure out who wore it. The other problem is with "E" Officers which makes it even more complicated.

      If you take the awards that are with it off the table and consider the DKiG or DKiS was awarded it fits 3-4 officers who were Generals by the end of the War.

        Well who knows if the badges actualy go with the uniform.
        Which are the possible persons that you have in mind if you look just at the uniform?
