Unfortunately an unnamed ratty WW1 jacket has no value as stripped WW1 jackets in good condition have little value but a Heer jacket in ratty condition does.

I am of the leather impressing camp. Printing die would be flat, not dimensional. And they don't have the heft or detail to be hobs.  

. Hahahhaaa Kevin,   it was £1,200 for the tank so £500 pounds cheaper than the new Escort  ( with ten years life max ),  and looking at it another way whatever you did with £1,200 back then, choices of women and wine, a new escort, ( since scrapped ), or banked it, ( financial depression several times )  a tank for £1,200 that would now be worth £250,000,  no other investment other than the tank would have given you such a profit margin . . . . . . .  . . .   Let me know where I can buy a Sherman for £11,000 ( in Today's money )  🤣 🤣   Presently a UK militaria business is offering a single smaller road wheel off an M3 Stuart for £450, methinks I did ' exceedingly well ', paraphrasing Mr Kipling !!!!     Norman D.

Hello to all can you please let me know the date of manufacture of this yellow front zipped, highneck yellow sweater ? thanks

That equates to just over £11,000 in todays money,  although £1,700 back then would have bought you a new Escort or Allegro although a Sherman would be far more fun. Average new house prices was around  £12,000. So what looks like a bargain back then was in fact pretty expensive

Strip it and give it a proper burial  JMO

Two new ones for the collection yesterday.  Both all original.    

Every jacket is worth the sum total of its parts. I have no idea of the value of anything on that jacket. Frame it and sell it to a new collector. Everyone has to start some place. I have seen WW2 Heer tunics being sold in that condition to new collectors just getting started. 

To all that responded, thank you!  Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Do you know why their are so few items from the RW? Few people saved anything. The same could be said about any war at any time. When you cut a patch, button or alter anything you remove it from its place in time and history. People save CW items in worse condition because not many remain out of tens of thousands made. In an expanded time line everything will fade away. What survives is luck of the draw. The jacket speaks to its place in time.  I personally have an issue with breaking things apart for that reason. I don't do that. A question was asked and I gave my reply. Burn it if you want. I wouldn't do that. but you are not me.
