DAK jacket

[fliepke]

"Hello, I'm interested in buying this DAK tunic. Tunics are not really my field of expertise so I would like some opinions on this before i commit in buying it. Niels ( Blackadder ) told me that the shoulderboards are probably luftwaffe or might even be post war. The Shoulderboards are no calculated in the price ( lets say they come with the tunic for free ).
Thanks in advance to the opinions

Adding an AKCT does not make a jacket a DAK piece, it has to have been in Afrika.

The AKCT is added postwar and may be a fake, need better photos of it to be sure. Eagle & tabs are good. Looks like a nice unissued tropical 3rd pattern depot queen...

If you're after 'DAK' used jacket then a faded 1st pattern would have stood a better chance of having been worn in North Africa. If you just want a tropical jacket then this jacket is fine as a representative piece.
