airborne steve Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 Yes!Do tell.StevePaul, Soooooo, what else is in the works????Gary B
Paul R Posted October 29, 2007 Author Posted October 29, 2007 If I can ever "unscrew" my PayPal(it is locked because it thinks someone tried to access my account), I will pay a mere 400 for this unquestionably original tunic. Worst case scenario, the sum of it's parts is worth more than 400!! I will just have to find an equally worn eagle and a matching button for temporary application!
airborne steve Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 (edited) Paul,That tunic is a real combat vet! The parts are worth the cost.SteveAnd some more... Edited October 29, 2007 by airborne steve
Paul R Posted October 29, 2007 Author Posted October 29, 2007 It looks like the man walked home from France upon the surrender, in that tunic! Maybe it did some time in a POW internment camp? Here are the repaired elbows!It has loops for a small ribbon bar as well. I think that a crusty 1914 EK2 and an HK would go on nicely!
