Luftwaffe Officials Tunic & Breeches with Rank of Oberleutnant

Tunic is made of blue grey wip cord wool with open collar with four patch pleated pockets with four button front. Collar tabs are hand sewn to collar, they are hand embroidered in silver aluminum wire on dark green wool, collar has the silvered twisted aluminum wire piping around edge of collar. The shoulder boards are the slip on type without the slip tab on the back and they are sewn to the shoulder, 100% wartime. They have the bright silver aluminum braid with one gold rank pip on each, boards has secondary piping of light brown or Golden brown for either "Technical branches" or "Signal service", boards have dark green wool on the bottom. Breast eagle is silver aluminum flat wire on blue grey, "Drop Tail" pattern very hard eagle to find, most you see are not any good. Has War Merit Ribbon & Russian front Ribbon in button hole and has strange looking set of loops for one pocket badge, loops are real just not standard, come with War Merit Cross 1st Class with Swords, this is nice early quality badge, marked 62 but catch is a wartime replacement. The Inside is lined with a dark blue grey silk rayon material with two inside breast pockets with slit in coat for edge weapon hanger, also has maker bevo weave tag in neck of tunic. This tunic was modified during the war, cuff were removed from the sleeves and the inside lining in the sleeves was removed, this does make sense if you are at a desk working all day with long sleeve shirt and tunic, removing the lining in the sleeve would make it a little cooler. The breeches are of the same blue grey wip cord wool, there is tailor tag with owners name on the inside. Breeches are very nice with light wear and age. This tunic came out of some Auction several years ago, it come with some photo copies of the owners photo album and it looks like it may have some light info on the owner. Exc.+ $1450.00 $1250.00
