Hi all,
I have an interesting tunic here and would love to hear some opinions on it. I was given this by a friend and have been trying to figure out its exact origin. It was purchased in the early 1990's with another identical (but far more worn) leather tunic which with the same hanger that sold some time ago. The tunic has an original coat hanger with the writing "Carl schopf, Karlsruhe Adolf Hitlerplatz". Both the tunic and jacket have stampings dating them to 1944 with size info and manufactures marks, with the pants having some sort of size tag still in them. Both show honest signs of wear. While I am certain that both the jacket and pants are original, I am unsure if the eagle is a fake that was added later to increase value. The pink panzer tabs look ok from what I can see- any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
