Ulsterman Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Wow. in 1994 these were sold for $80. The Ruptured Duck had about a score of them. If I could go back in time....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccj Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Greatcoats are items Ive always wanted but never have tried hard to buy. I wish I had as these have really increased in value. I've love to have a really nice one but a salty one would serve me just as well. I could make a really nice combat display with a worn coat... Does anyone else have an example to share?

Chris Boonzaier Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Is tzhere something unit specific that makes Chip want it so bad ? :-) I had to shell out 550EUR for mine, but I think that was acceptable... would have prefered a name and unit in it though....

It was a nudge actually I tried to sell a couple of years ago but nobody wanted now its not for sale, I like all the repairs, things filthy had dirt in the pockets but haven't the heart to thoroughly clean it.

Chip Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I would think 550 Euro a very fair price for one in that condition, especially coming out of France, where prices seem to be the highest for German pieces. Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 Hi, were there special shoulderstraps for these? Or was it all the same by then? What would be best? Piped straps, or the non piped ones? I guess just sewn to the loops? Best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 what kind of shoulder straps would go best on this? Thanks Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 An M15 Einheitsmantel took the the same straps as those on the Bluse. Any M15 pair would do. The straps were not sewn to the loops, but rather were stitched to the shoulder seam. The loop (Schlaufe) was a retainer for a rolled or folded strap.
