Ritterkreuzträger Uniform Set

[Vet44]

Hello
Maybe you can help me. I have a complete officer's uniform of the Bundeswehr. Production by 1975. The uniform is from Ritterkreuzträger and German Cross Holder. It is a service jacket, mess Jacket, greatcoat, raincoat, officer visor cap and leather belt. The rank is colonel in the general staff. In the cap and on the leather belt he wrote his name. Below are two photos. One in Bundeswehr uniform and a post-war photograph as a first lieutenant in the Air Force with RK with signature. Can anyone tell me what these pieces are all together worth it. Or rather what I can write for a sale price.

Kind Regards

Andi

A very nice set, Andi, but honestly, I have no clue how to price it. Although it comes from a high decorated officer, it has no bar with the decorations and even does not sport a flight crew badge but only the badge for staff personnel ...

So I am afraid there will not be a very large circle of customers out there who are interested in the set.

I could provide You with the current prices for all the items at the KKBw successor LHD if You need it.

[Vet44]

Yes, i see the problem.
I put it on ebay and the end of auction Show me the value.

Good idea!

Vet44,

As Ramjet says, without the ribbon bar or some more provenance, there will not be a lot of interest in this set. To me, it would only be worth the sum of the parts if sold individually. I own BW uniforms to RKTs complete with ribbon bars, photos of the uniform in wear plus written documentation from the original owner and for something like that I would be interesting buying a set. To me, this set would be of interest only because it belonged to an officer in the General Staff.
Good luck in your sale.

Regards,

Gordon

[Vet44]
