Hi Daggeraddict , What you have is a very nice ..although common , enlisted Army Tunic Breast Eagle. But since it was your Grandfather's ,honestly ...it will be worth a lot more to you years from now as a Family "keepsake" ..than the small amount of cash you'd get for it today. I've seen them at shows for anywhere from $25 to $50.
If it was Panzer , it would have a Black background not Green.
Hope that helps
--Mike

I agree. Army not Panzer, but something to keep.
