    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!

    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!
