Luft FD sumpftarn smock

[John Hodgin]

Ecxuse me John,
is it a joke?

Perhaps a small one. But am waiting for you, and others to explain why.

[Edwin]

C'mon guys.....
sweating here

Hello Edwin,

Very sorry, I guess it is best to always be serious here. There are details missing that are a bad indication. Will try and post some photos tomorrow explaining what is missing and why, but would still like others to give some input before then.

There have been several of these "surfacing" lately. All are faded and without eagles. So I ask you, why no unissued examples have appeared like the ones made from twill, and with their eagles intact? And, where are the stitching holes from the removed eagle on yours?

Regards,
John

Sorry Edwin, bad guess. Never assume any dealer is all knowing. Even the ones with better reputations than Weitze!

To begin to discuss the problems with this one: The button holes are not sewn correctly. Like I said, some photos to help you tomorrow.

Again, sorry,
John

sumpf HBT,

I’m sorry Edwin I agree with Antonio and the others because unfortunately the HBT fabric is the dead giveaway on this one, I hope you got some sort of return policy on it.

Hbt,

Original period Luftwaffe Feld Division smocks weren’t fabricated out of HBT, only in smooth cotton, these reproductions are from the same breed as the well known reproduction Heer “sniper” smocks in HBT. Splinter camo Feld Division smocks where made out of HBT and smooth cotton. These sumpf HBT Luftwaffe feld division smocks are usually being offered/sold as reproduction on every Dutch and Belgium show. Indeed lots of crap available on shows but regularly visiting them is good for the development of your own knowledge.

[Edwin]

I know....HTB is a bad, bad sign. Thats why I wanted more feedback from the LW collectors...
Allready have send the mail to Herr Weitze that I'm not pleased at all...was being polite

Thanks for all the feedback

A slight correction. Sumpf Luftwaffe FD jackets were produced both in smooth cotton and in heavier "ribbed" cotton twill.

i wish you luck, weitze is very difficult with money back guarantee and also with selling original items the drillich cotton is a very much seen fabric wich came from czewcht last years, sadly a fake, i wish you luck with your refund!

best wishes
