Hi guys,
I had this on my Luftwaffe wanted list for ages, just waiting for funds and the right piece at the same time.
And yes, a fellow forum member had this well worn, beautiful patinated GWL for sale and cut me some slack on price.
It finally arrived just prior the weekend ... took advantage of the last sun yesterday evening !
I absolutely love this particular design, smashing detail on these pieces and hardware is basic but ample.
Normally these GWL's have a lovely milky white coating, but this has a very worn look to it.
One can only imagine who's chest it must have decorated and the action it must have seen.
Sadly, yet another anonymous piece, though is just oozes history ....
One day, hope to add the GWL Observer and GWL P/O
