I sure hope the Jagdpanzer 38 Sdkfz 138/2...or incorrectly the "Hetzer" that is being restored in Europe for the same museum has been verified to be an actual WW2 German vehicle and not the more common post war G13. There are very few genuine wartime Jagdpanzer 38's around and many are post war versions "back dated" and restored as WW2 German units. Price can be an indicator as actual German Jagdpanzer 38's are usually valued about 4 times the price of a G13, last restored example with actual WW2 provenance was over 400k Euro. My advice would be to spend a few extra bucks and consult Hillary Doyle, Bruce Crompton or Kevin Wheatcroft. Well worth the money to save yourself getting taken by a well crafted fake.
