Army (Heer) black Panzer wrapper with RBNr. 1943

Description

Very hard to find black army Panzer wrapper in excellent condition. Light worn example. 1940 Made piece, that was too large and never got issued. Was factory resized and issued in 1943, something often observed with normal Feldbluses but a first timer for me to see this with a Panzer wrapper. Silk piped collar tabs are machine applied and well sunk into the wool. The shoulder boards are officer examples sewn in the shoulders of the jacket. The 1940 pattern breast eagle is machine applied, not through the lining! A variety of issue stamps can be seen on the lining, topmost is the 1940 stamp of Rauh & Scheller and underneath the stamp of the tailor company who resized it in 1943 with RBNr. 9/0850/0241. There are no major damages visible. This is by FAR the best army Panzer wrapper I have owned in a long time! A rare and beautiful Panzer wrapper!
