Police Panzer Wrappers

[Bob Hritz]

Over on the Wehrmacht Uniforms Forum there is a very lifeless discussion of two Police Panzer wrapper tunics. Perhaps you can help those of us who are weak on this subject.

Huntzman,

You are a naughty, naughty man not to say what you really think and bait us with these eagles.

OK, I'll say it... fake Polizei Panzer and Assault Gunner wraps with fantasy eagles. These fantasy First Polizei Panzer Batallion Zagreb sleeve eagles have been floating around for years but I particularly like the way this one is embroidered in Panzer Pink. This pink color embroidery on green is a nice touch! This is particulary interesting since it is not on a black Panzer jacket at all but on a supposed green Assault Gunner wrap. The collar tabs on this green wrapper are also amazing fantasy constructions.

The green police eagle with the white eye and swastika on black has been discussed before as I recall. It is, of course, a fake copy of the poorly done British publication that had color drawings of this eagle color combination on a black uniform. Both eagles nicely machine zig-zag sewn onto the wrappers, which tells you something about the jackets.

What else is there to say but that a fool and his money are soon parted?

Yikes these sort of things scare me, mostly due to lack of familiarity, but this can certainly scare a person from collecting!


Guess the first thing that popped into my mind is this related thread linked below about other alleged police panzer wraps offered by this seller a while back that disappeared after the negative comments. Otherwise this seller appears to have some amazing inventory.

That Pol Pz Btl Zagreb patch appeared years ago. The creative souls making it apparently did not realize that in German, the city was named Agram, not Zagreb.

I apologize for my silence, even though my initial reaction was to LMAO after viewing them, I am only a sophomore at Eagle Weenie U. I decided to let my esteemed colleagues speak on these as you guys are a lot more well versed on the smaller details which ID these pieces as fakes. Such as JoeW pointed out with the name.

I know there are a lot of people that would just chime in and say "BAD".... but the nice thing about this group is they tell you WHY it is bad.

Agram ............. That is the epitome of what I was saying above. How the heck do you compete with that type of knowledge ?

Thankfully, you guys are on the good side. I'm sure after Bill U. saw those pics he began to drink copious amounts of Sake to drown the offending images from his mind and will chime in later.
