DKIG holder uniform

[MedalMike]

Hi guys, need some help on this one. Could this be the real deal, and is it bleached a lot or should it be a white uniform? Any information and help would be really apreciated!

It looks like the tunic may have been bleached artificially or played with but hard to say. If it was proper sun fading, one thing that I would probably expect to see is some darker areas where a belt or the other medals were worn (unless it has been displayed somewhere exposed to sun for a long time without medals and the cloth DKiG and TDB was removed later). I would also think that an examination of areas such as under the pocket flaps and ares covered by the collar should reveal whether the colour differences where the DKiG was is really due to sun fading?

Without seeing more pics of these areas it is hard to say.

Just my thoughts, always learning

I agree with BC's observations, the collar should show some lloss of color from sun fade but looks rather mint? Please lift the collar and pocket flaps and button areas and shoot photos for us, also the inside of the tunic.
I say no way it is sun fade IMO!
Whoever did this made sure the TDB and DK shadows were highly noticable eh? Odd the EKI, IAB and possible WB left no shadows at all! I think the original owner would have removed the DK and TDB if trying to bleech it so as not to ruin the hard earned medals!

I for one would walk away from this!

Thanks guys, foto's on the way. But the most important thing i still don't know, is this original? And what kind of uniform is it? Sorry, im a complete beginner in this area!

Thanks again!

I can see there is a couple of threads sticking out were dkig and panzerknacker was attached, and those threads are not discoloured. It could be someone removed these awards and then sold the tunic.

Evil acts



Or it is partly restored, and they couldnt afford these awards
