Hmm £307 bid at the moment, this will no doubt rise in the last few mins.

Looks good to me, depends what you want it for, if only for display then size dont matter (i would not wear an origional tunic like this for events) but if you do intend to wear it then you need to check the size (remember most men were a fair bit smaller in WW2).
Also dont forget to make a good display you need trousers AND all the leatherwork (in this case in Brown not Black, including the riding boots) plus a Tshako to complete it which for a good one will set you back at least £500.

Doubtless Dave (Feldjager) will comment on this if he sees it in time.

Nice Tunic though and looks good in the photos. 8)

Looks OK on the exterior, get some pictures of the interior as well - the liner where visible looks a bit ropey.

I am not into purchasing such an item but thought that my friends on here might like to see it , it's a bit above my price range :cry: but if i did somehow manage to aquire such like item it would deffi not be worn as they are becoming rare to find , so in my eyes need looking after so they can be viewed / cherished for a while more :wink: 8)

Oh sorry must have got hold off the wrong end of the stick mate.

Went for $526 in the end. (£325). not bad price at all.
