Janke Elite M-36 Tunic (Old One) with HQ Insignia
Everyone knows that Michael Janke of Germany makes and has made the best stitch for stitch copies of WW2 German uniforms and hats hands down for decades. I bought this one used from the only importer of Janke products at the time. Years ago he used stocks of wartime materials and even ex-WW2 tailors were used to assemble his stock.
This one has been around for a while and may fall into that category. A tunic this nice deserved the best insignia and has it. The collar tabs are moleskin wool with Rayon embroidery.The sleeve Alder is the closest to original I have seen. The EK2 ribbon is original and the shoulder boards are correct wool and cotton with no-glo wool piping. All buttons are original and last but not least, it includes a 1970s DR title that has the correct S&P backing and fooled a lot of collectors back in the day. Not the ribbon crap titles made today. As an added bonus it also has a Eastern Euro (Hungary, I believe) GA badge that looks original.
No attention to detail was overlooked in this fine copy. The item "Janke Elite M-36 Tunic (Old One) with HQ Insignia" is in sale since Thursday, November 09, 2017.
