Variations yes,but it must be remembered that variations are the exception. When more than a few variants start to appear on tunics then we have more reason to investigate and find out why.

Fred,You are absolutely correct.IMO most are restored and then sold as untouched.Not so bad if everything is original and the Tunic was actually an SS used tunic. But not quite fair that they are priced as untouched rarities.Im aware of even some older pieces of some fame that were restored although that was never mentioned as they passed through the hands of time or were used as examples in books.
