Hi I would like to share my General Staff uniform. Torsten Christ was a Condor Legion veteran. He was a KC winner and interestingly a blood order winner. He was chief of staff Luftflotte 2. The uniform is of superb quality. The pants are tailored from the same cloth of the tunic. It came with a ribbon bar. regards Juan

Luftwaffe Uniform Tag
jcsanche replied to Paul R's topic in Germany: Third Reich: Uniforms, Headwear, Insignia & Equipment
Hi Tunics, specially a dress tunic ( I think this was a dress tunic due the quality and probably stayed at the soldiers closet) outlived the owner. This was a private purchase so the family had the option to give it to a friend or relative that served also in the LW. If was an issued piece it would had been re-issued by the LW clothing depot. If the family gave this tunic to another officer I would think that officer would have removed the named label and replaced with his own name? I am sorry if is not the real deal. Paul had been waiting for few months and sold several nice untouched tunics to get this one. It would had fouled me if not for the label. regards Juan -
Hi Robert LW pioneer tunics are rare. I would like to get one as I collect Heer pioneer. I have a question. Were they had the black tabs factory applied or applied by the soldier after been issued. I had seen some on dealers sites, but none that I have felt confortable it was an "original" LW pionner tunic. regards Juan

Heer Rarest Panzer wrapper?
jcsanche replied to Chris Boonzaier's topic in Wehrmacht Medals, Decorations & Awards
Wow I always wanted to get 1 wrapper. It seems that most of the ones discussed at forums had been altered or no real. I think I will not get one. Steve Pzpio wraper is the Holy grail of pioneer collectors ( I am one of them), but I do not think I will ever get one real. It amaze me that Steve found 2!!. What a lucky guy. Beautiful wrappers Juan -
When I received the uniform set I was very happy. When I was able to find his records It really hit me hard the realization that he was only 20 years old when he died. He was just a kid ( I am 47 years old now). What a terrible war. Juan
