New Luft Addition...

[Scott C.]

This Luft NCO servic tunic and hat just arrived from Kai Winkler (www.nordheideversand.de). It's only the second Luft tunic/hat set I've owned (the first was when I was in high school!). The tunic has no interior markings or taylor label.

Can someone give me an idea of where Horst Wessel cuff titles rate among other Geschwader cuff titles in terms of rarity?

Thanks .

A little closer up. The pictures are the best I could make on an overcast, frozen midwest day...

Overall, the tunic is in really nice condition with only mild age.

The embroidered droop-tail eagle is one of my favorite parts of the tunic...

[Scott C.]

...and the handiwork on the cuff title is beautiful as well.

A bit closer up...

One more...

Inside - all stitching is tight and un-messed with. The dagger D-ring is the pebbled aluminimum type.

[Scott C.]

The hat is in used, but remarkable condition - just like the tunic. Unfortunately, I've not found a name...

[Scott C.]

Eagle. No extra holes to indicate this has ever been replaced or messed with.

[Scott C.]

And the inside. The sweat band and shield show the cap has been used, but all stitching, pieces, and parts are all tight and secure.

That's it

Very nice tunic! Looks minty fresh... does the cap have a name on it? did you check the reverse of the sweatband?

Anyway very very nice. Here is a link you may know of or maybe not..

Hello Scott, excellent grouping and very desirable. Bill

[Scott C.]

Thanks guys. Yes, I'd seen the forum article on cufftitles - very well done. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a name in the hat or tunic

Best wishes.
