WW2 GERMAN PANZER BLACK WRAPOVER TUNIC, good example of a combat worn black panzer wrapover tunic with pink piped collar patches having zinc skulls, pair of enlisted ranks pattern pink piped black shoulder straps with field grey wool backing. To the flap is medal ribbons for the Iron Cross 2nd class and the Eastern front medal. Tunic is complete with the original black buttons. Mid war type grey bevo on black breast eagle. Interior of the tunic with its typical grey lining. Interestingly the tunic has had some period alterations by the original owner, the shoulders have had an extra padding pads inserted for comfort when being worn and also the internal button holes have been extended. The tunic has ink issue stampings to the interior. The tunic does show some wear with thinning to the nap of the cloth, hole under one armpit and the other with a repair, but this is still a good example of a classic and iconic combat tunic of the German panzer (armoured) forces.
