Hi all,
just wanted to share my latest find. This is a mint unissued uboat comanders jacket in hbt. Its maker marked and dated 1944.
Iam relativly sure that this one originates from a Marine depot that was located in a neighbour city in 1945. It was obviously taken from that depot when the war was over and local people looted that depot. Fortunatly it was never used again after the war as was often the case.
What makes me sure about that is that maybe 10 years ago I had a second identical jacket which was found by me in the same city. That one even had the paper tag sewn onto it. I think it had the same maker if I remember correctly. Sadly I cannot find the old thread were I posted it as I would have loved to compare it to this. That other jacket I sold to the relichunter.com back then so maybe its in a collection of a member here ?
Let me know what you think about it and if you have one please feel free to share it here.
Many thanks, Jens
