Army (Heer) black Panzer wrapper 1939 by G. Mantzke

Description

Very hard to find early and unissued black army Panzer wrapper in excellent condition. Unworn example. The early wool piped collar tabs are period applied and well sunk into the wool. The shoulder boards also have the early pink wool piping and a set like this is worth a small fortune today when sold separately, they match the jacket perfectly and have never been separated from this tunic in my opinion. The early 1938 pattern breast eagle is hand applied and looks restored. A variety of issue stamps can be seen on the lining, topmost is a rectangle showing B.II.39 (1939), below that a makers name of G.MANTZKE followed by the size information stamps. The other numbers and handwriting are probably from a Russian museum and/or storage depot. There are no major damages are visible. This is by FAR the best army Panzer wrapper I have owned in a long time! A rare and beautiful Panzer wrapper!
