Hi there all, I have been looking at this Heer M44 tunic. I have never owned an M44 so this is new territory for me. From what I know it looks good to me but I have been wrong before. Any and all comments welcome. Steve

Here is a RLM or Bau troop NCO tunic. I wish I could say this tunic was mine but it is not. Here only for point of discussion. Steve

Here is the tunic that the eagle is attached.

Hi everyone, I just received a 1938 dated Shupo Tunic with a replaced, hand sewn sleeve eagle. The eagle is on a felt type background material and is incorrect to the tunic it is attached. I can see were the origonal eagle was machine sewn. The tunic itself is origonal but I don't think the eagle is authentic? I would like your opinions on it. I'm not a police collector so all comments welcome on this one. Thank you, Steve

Paul, Juan, Sweet tunics!! I need to get on board with you two and aquire a senior LW, GS officer's set! You guys are making me jealous! Steve

Nice tunic Paul! When did you get the LW officer hat? I really like it. You need to invest in a display torso! Steve

Hi Bob, Here is that avitar hat where it should be, with a uniform. It is a private purchase NCOs hat, size 581/2 and in exc condition. However it is not as nice as your admin hat! steve

Thanks Bob, you have some really nice things to! If you ever need to find a home for that LW admin hat let me know. Steve

Hi Paul, Thans for the info on the straps. I din't know that. I guess I could put an medical officers hat on him? Steve

Wow! I really like these rare tunic and tabs. These have to be some of the only tunics of this type left in the world. Sweet! Steve

Hi Paul again, The LBA date on my signal is "43". The material is better on this tunic than on my medic tunic which is dated "LBA42". Steve

Paul, The base is the admin green with bordoux piping on top. Pretty nice looking set. Steve

Last one for the moment, the wife is telling me to get off the computer Steve

Here is another showing the silver wire eagle and straps. Steve

Paul, The tunic is a M42. It has a later type, NCO/Officer silver wire bevo eagle hand sewn to the chest also it has the bone white tress, matching boards and collar. Normally you find this type of tress on SS tunics, rare on Heer tunic. I have included a full front shot. Cheers! Steve P.S. I have addeda few photos to your threads on LW medical and Admin.

Hi Paul, The pioneer straps on the M42 coat are not M44s but the straps on the M43 tunic under the coat has M44 straps. However I didn't want to mess with taking off the coat just to take pictures. I'll get to it later I figure. Steve

Here is my signal FB. Nothing special but all factory original and mint. I almost aquired a OKL, FB from Bill Shea a few years back. Bummer, I sat on it too long and missed out.
