Unique Custom Camo Luft Tunic...

[W Petz]

Temporary solution I assure you. In the past most of those uniforms were displayed on mannequins in my hobby room. As I'm currently renovating the inside of my home the hobby room is fully packed to the door so nothing is being displayed and most of my collection is still packed up in boxes or hanging in the closet as you can see.

Here is another Ebay acquistion.

Nice collection, but ditch the plastic hangers.

Here is one that I previously posted on one of my threads....LWFD 2cm crew on the hunt for Banditos in Italy. Most of them are wearing field made camo uniforms

Just breaking b's in the meantime I bought wood hangers at home cheapo I think a ten pack for less than 20 and all the uniforms and pants hang evenly and hold their shape at the same level

As always, great photos, Bill. The peek inside the closet is quite tantalizing as well!

I have not seen any but that's not saying they don't exist in someone's collection.

Mike,

Fantastic find and research done on such a Brave man! Just reading about his exploits he should have had the DK earlier in Russia and probably would have been awarded the RK at Monte Cassino and the fact that he came through it all without being wounded is a testament to his leadership and bravery and quite a bit of luck as his adversaries on all fronts definitely wanted to eliminate him and his troopers. Thanks for your persistence in obtaining the history of this FJ and sharing it all with us on WAF.

I guess we would like to think that due to being recommended twice for the DK he felt that he deserved to have the RK.....since there is no record of his receiving one. Most likely the seller upgraded it to increase the value as mentioned.
