Tropical/Summer officer tunic private purchase tunic - 01/24/2006 12:55 AM
Hi Guys, I have here a very nice private purchase officers tropical/summer tunic that I am about to buy, I like many of the details of this tunic although there is not a lot of ware, there is some ware to the traps of use. The m36 collar shows a lot more ware than the tunic along with the ek2 ribbon they probably have come from another tunic to give it a more tradional look. My main concerns are the way the eagle has been applied..does the stitching look ok from the inside of the tunic? I would of thought it would have a zigg zagg reverse stich like the front.
secondly the material used on the interia front edge (splinter type pattern)I have been told has been used on many reproductions does this look correct? My general feeling is the uniform is period but if this fabric is indeed a known product that fakers use then this tunic would have to be a complete bogus rebuild with original insignias.
I would appreciate all oppinions
Regards, Greg
