A black HBT fliegerbluse also existed in work uniforms.

Here are the images of JohnS' black dyed fliegerblouse which is in my possession for evaluation and a possible trade.
We're still working out some details on a trade that would be mutually agreeable as some trade items I offered had flaws...
So I need to "up" my offer with additional trade material...
which leads to my question;
What would a proper appraisel value be for this 2 piece set in today's market?Last edited by NickG; 04-27-2009, 10:59 PM.Comment

The blouse is nice but dyed.... including the lining. Traces of breast eagle stitching are still visible. See yellow areaLast edited by NickG; 04-27-2009, 11:00 PM.Comment

Liner also black now so none of the LW depot and size ink stamps are visible anymore...Comment

The fliegerblouse has not been dimilitarized, meaning the shoulder buttons and shoulderstrap loops are still in place... It also has the original Fliegerbluse resin buttons for the fly-front closure. So there is a chance its a war time dye job (auxiliary troops or POW?) as opposed to post war civilian modification.
Traces of collar tab ghosts and rank gull holes still visible...Last edited by NickG; 04-27-2009, 11:01 PM.Comment

It comes with these pants which are NOT dyed...note lining material!Comment
-
Pants inside look ;all metal dish buttons and typical German suspender supports!Comment
-
Pants rear pocket anmd belt loops details...
Pants are black (with blue-ish parts...) with panzer-pants shaped tie-tape bottoms...
but with non -panzer type waist (ie w/o pocket flaps or built-in waist belt ...)
So what would this set be worth in value in dollars (for a possible trade)?
Either as a set and individually priced ??? (blouse + pants)Last edited by NickG; 04-27-2009, 11:03 PM.Comment

Possibly they were POW worn. My dad has a uniform that was worn by German POWs in WWII which was WWI American vintage. It consists of black died wool pants and hat and a WWI American jean material work shirt with PW painted on it.
Just a possiblilty! I like that set, btw!

Hi Karl
Yes most likely a POW dye job...and still retains shoulder strap loops +buttons
(as opposed to a post war dye job...so definitely not converted like this for civilian use).
VALUE?

Anybody with a reasonable value assessment on this set?
(working a trade and need to bridge a "monetary gap"...too far apart...)
Thanks
