General Tunic of Wilhelm Ulex

[GdC26]

Very easy if you are not blind of course. I had enough Tunics in my Life that i can very easy say this one is absolute and total Garbage. Effects are fake, Quality a Joke, only Thing what is good with this Tunic is, it is not mine.



QUOTE=phild;8557627]I don’t see how any conclusions one way or the other can be made from those photos alone in terms of it is a period General set up or not.

Wow, the polish didn't hold long .....
You're right about the tunic not being close to what the seller apparently sold it as, but as the owner noted (and I and others have noted before in another thread): no need to be rude about it.
Kind regards,

Yeah, right. When i would be rude, that would look a lot different. Tunic is fake from Top to Bottom, and more is there not to say. And when someone collect more then 16 Years, this should be more then crystal Clear, sorry.

I have read this thread with interest and general consensus is the tunic is not good. Is it not period at all or is it period but not la Generals tunic?

Can you give any pointers as to why it isnt what it is purported to be?

Just trying to learn more and more :-)

The Base Tunic was at one Point a Officer Tunic. Then someone reworked it, and try to build a General but he did a terrible Job. Here is the Video from this Tunic, guess that Buyer made it. That should be enough that the even the last one can see that its a Joke. Look at the Bottons, Boards Eagle.....

@ Phantom3SE: there are many red flags, but just to name a few: cloth is not what one would expect to see in what supposedly is an early war or prewar tunic: insignia appears to be of poor quality (the eagle definitely looks bad to me, the rest is not very clearly depicted on WAF) and sloppily applied; the shoulder boards are for a Genaralmajor (which would date the tunic to 1933-1935, which this tunic definitely is not); etc., etc. So wrong era tunic, "upgraded" to general. Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Sandro

Very interesting thank you Sandro

The tunic looks like an early Reichwehr/Reichsheer tunic. It has 8 front botton closure and slanted lower pockets. The eagle looks like very poor quality' It does not look like having any tailor name tag.
It is important to do research before buying any tunic. It took me 3 years of research before I found a real named Generalmajor tunic that I felt comfortable
Please send it back ASAP

Get your money back. I have looked at this uniform in hand and it is not original. It is built from parts and pieces.

[naxos]

Yeah, right. When i would be rude, that would look a lot different.

What, you'd be more of of a dick than you normally are?

You obviously have a lot of knowledge on the subject, I appreciate and respect that - but, IMO, your poor disrespectful behavior towards other members is not worth having you on this forum.

His 5th Ranger uniform is a put together. I wouldn't buy from this guy.

I'm going to be the odd man out. The tunic looks just like the one in the period photo with the autograph, especially the placement of the collar tabs and the unique breast eagle.

You are actually not odd Steve, there is at least one other who sees this the same way. High quality early 30s tunic, early quality insignia. A close inspection is required to ascertain if insignia and buttons are period applied and if tunic was upgraded for promotion or made with that insignia. Probably the former, not that it matters. The same points must be taken with any and every Generals tunic.

Johny had it in hand and called it, what more is required? I am very comfortable with his opinion.J

Beside that all the Insignias are fake and aged, go and compare the period Picture with this. And then there should not be any more Question. First, where are the Pockets? Second, look close at the Tab ( period Picture early Tabs, this Tunic cheap fake tabs and very very cheap fake Boards).....
