Is he wearing a Panzer wrapper?

[Max Wünsche]

Assault gun wrap!

[PANZERPIONIERE]

Yes!
If that was posted on the forum with that tab, it would most certainly be called a re-sew!!!!

Wow nice grouping With a rare tab And a rare photo

[kass]

Nice photo. Estonians wearing a stug wrap are quite rare. Anti tank units had them. And in the end division had Hetzer´s also if I remember correctly.
I do not like the tab though. If you do not have a waterproof source you should be very skeptical. Field made ones existed and there were quite various and odd variations. Same goes to the shield. It looks ok but they are easy to make and are reproduced. Again without good provenance I would be careful.

IMO the tab is bad (on the photo is Dachau 2nd pattern tab and not even similar to the one in the grouping). Almost impossible to tell if the shield is original or fake.

I don't think it is a 2nd pattern Dachau insignia shown on the picture the tab embroidery looks different. As you know many styles of locally made 2nd pattern tabs were made and worn.
However, IMO the tab could be a repro I do not like the reverse and that style of shield has been highly reproduced so not sure if it's original. I like the picture.
