GERMAN WWII LUFTWAFFE BLUE TROPICAL TUNIC.

An extremely rare tunic that has seen considerable wear and fading in tropical conditions. Blue standard semi lightweight material, six button closure, four pockets with flaps and pleats. The tunic is fitted with totally original compliment of insignia, Luftwaffe yellow based Oberleutnant’s collar patches, wire woven breast eagle and Kreta cuff title. The tunic has faded below the pocket flaps and behind the collar, clear fade marks can be seen to the cuff title where there are a couple of loose stitches and it is possible to lift the cuff title clear of the blue tunic. Yellow based Oberleutnant’s flight shoulder boards, one of the woven loops that holds the right hand shoulder board to the tunic has worn away and the base of the shoulder board is consequently loose. To the breast eagle some wire strands loose and minor oxidisation. All of the insignia matches and has always been attached to this tunic. One set of loops for one award to the upper right hand breast. Any interior markings that may have been in place are now unfortunately invisible because of bleaching and consequent washing. A good tropical well worn Luftwaffe tunic.
