I especially like the Italian HBT lining.
Not surprizing that an Austrian tailor used Italian materials (post armistice).
Good restoration project!!

Originally posted by Richard P View PostNick is probably right. It would be a great restoration project for someone with Johnny R's and his wife's skills. The lining & tags are great, and was probably a higher rank. It would be nice if the price was reasonable...but that does not usually happen after it has been purchased as an SS general's tunic, but...you never know.

Originally posted by Johnny R View PostI was dabbling to buy it but it is in China and they cannot take paypal. Following Richard's lead I suspect a price equal to 50 Szechuan vigins. My wife is not the restorer, I have a friend that collects WWI and restores stuff for museums that does the hand sewing. I would love to restore this but the logistics get in the way.
Sorry about that...I thought I recalled your wife was a sewing instructor (machine type) or something like that. I just know you have done, or had done, some remarkable restorations. Yes...a trip to China might be required.
