    Tropical Luftwaffe blue 4 pocket tunic

    Hello all,

    As I finally joined Paypal, was able to join up and am now able to post a few bits and pieces, I thought this might be a good tunic to start with, it is a Luftwaffe blue 4 pocket tunic, well faded to a very orange tan colour, with the original blue still visible inside and under the pocket flaps etc, excuse the shirt (Australian army issue), and it is a repro tropical tie, but here 'tiz:

    And a photo of it amongst it's friends, I have a tropical belt for it, but it is with another collector, I just have to get it from him (it is promised).

      Handsome display mate! Glad you finally are able to post! Now put down that lager and the Vegemite on a shingle and show us some more.

      For those who don't know Bob, he really doesn't like Vegemite, can't understand why, it being the national snack and all......

      Think that he does like his lager though....

      Happy you are with us Mr. Lyons!

        Thanks John


        Shocking isn't it, now the truth is out, the police will be around and have me deported for not liking Vegemite, I guess I can always bunk at your house!!

        I was just in the FJ department adding to your post that Willi started, I guess I don't have to fill up your mail box now with all of my e-mails!!!

        On a serious note for a second or two (hard for me), John has saved my bacon a few times (and Willi Z., has also improved my outlook too), and also a lot of dollars with a few dogs that have had to go back to their kennels, and apart from being a real good mate, is a genuine 100% top bloke!!!

        (Note that I used the good Aussie term 'Bloke' for ya John !!).

          Bob,
          Great to see that fantastic collection of yours. It reminds me of why I originally became interested in collecting German uniforms in the first place, those fabulous looking Luftwaffe uniforms from 'The Great Escape' and 'Hogans Hero's.
          I think we can forgive you for not liking vegemite (only just).

          All the best

                              Hi Bob, great to see you got the payment issues sorted out. It looks like you have lots of goodies there

                              I am amazed by just how much the tunic has faded. I really like it.

                              Cheers, Ade.
