Value Of First and Second Pattern Kharkov Parka's

[krim4142]

Greetings to everyone,

Does anyone have a understanding of the current prices of first and second pattern Kharkov Parka's. The last one I found on line at the Collectors Guild over a year ago , in less than average condition: Sold for $2,500.00 a second pattern if I recall correctly.

Thank you
Peter.

Second pattern parka in excellent condition. I had to downsize the original picture which I scanned in to my computer, in order to load it here. Is there a way to enlarge these two pictures.

This is a second pattern parka, the first Pattern pulled over your head: The SS troops disliked the first pattern, so the second pattern came in to being.

Looks unissued .is that accurate?

Yes, this parka has never been worn: It retains all of the original green paint on the buttons. No stains, rips, tears, storage damage, the fur is in amazing condition.


It would be extremely hard to upgrade this fine example, of a second pattern Waffen SS Parka.

Value Of First and Second Pattern Kharkow Parka's

Hello the Weitze people claim this is an example is a first pattern Kharkov Parka, when in fact it's a second pattern parka in poor poor condition .They state that the parka was reversible. Which it was not: The other side had rabbit fur lining

Their is example has the wrong type of buttons,the parka came with metal buttons, and the parka hood was made large enough to be worn over the helmet. Again their example shows a thick collar not a hood.

I hate to sound so pretentious: But I have three Kharkov Parka's, one first pattern and two second pattern. And none of them look anything like the Weitze example.

Obviously a helmet would not fit over this collar: Which should be a hood

Hi all,

Here is the last model with italian material.
It's a salty one but genuine.
