AK Luftwaffe shirt??

[Steve Sherlock]

Ok Space Pirates, have some fun with this. First, have a look at this Ebay post.

Next, look at the two picures of mine that follow.

Here's the other one.

Now, post replys about what you think of the ebay shirt, and my shirt. (No, they are not the same shirt.) A little later, I'll give you what Paul Harvey says is "the rest of the story..."

Hi Steve, I think both shirts are American
Cheers, Ade.

Hi
US shirts, look like Marine corps

Hi Steve,

Yes, the ebay seller is indeed a pirate. As Adrian and Lee stated, this is not a Luftwafffe tropical shirt.

Regards,
John

As Paul Harvey would say, "...and now, the REST of the story."

As it turns out, both Adrian and leeb got it right, with leeb being right on the button. The second shirt is mine, and it is WWII USMC, that particular one dated December 1, 1943. It looks identical to the one from Liechtenstein. I wonder if that guy knows the shirt is not German? I always thought he was above board.
What caused me to look twice was the description on the ebay listing saying the shirt was made of rough wool, or something to that effect. I've never seen WWII German wool of that color.
