Hi friends.
I'm on the hunt for a nice KM Collani fabricated before April 1940 as I'm intending to use it in a Kriegsmarine Narvik 1940-display.
On this French site I've seen this Collani ref http://www.royal-dragons.fr/fiche-vente-antiquite-militaire-km-caban-laine-bleu-pour-matelot-3247.html
The French description reads:
KM Caban laine bleu pour matelot
Trés beau caban en laine bleu pour un matelot de la KriegsMarine , Pattes de col bleu clair , aigle brodé coton fil or , , insigne de manche spécialité avec chevrons ancienneté . Intérieur laine bleu nuit , intérieur manche satinette grise avec marquages fabricant , taille Marqué BAK 1940 . Boutons dorés marqués KriegsMarine . Tres belle taille Lageur épaules 46 cm , longueur 75 cm , manche 64 cm . parfait état . Ref 3827
Prix : 660 €
Based on my rather limited knowledge I've no doubt that the Collani and the accompanying insignias/badges are original, but I've a feeling that the insignias/badges have been sewn on the Collani post 1945. Am I right? I'm also uncertain regarding the markings inside the Collani - especially this B.A.K. stamp seems a little bit "odd" based on my instant gut-feeling.
I would really appreciate some thoughts and opinions on this Collani
Last but not least - do any of you guys have any experiences with this dealer?
Best regards AH
