LUFTWAFFE UNIFORMS. (Flight crew related)

[Leroy]

Unfortunately, none named. Very frustrating!(I'm sure there must be an RK winner in there somewhere!) The award is a Romanian pilot badge, worn in various locations by LW personnel, but many times worn in this position on Romanian uniforms, too.

Not much to tell, just ones I have picked up over the years (actually, many years ago, when stuff like this was fairly routine). None are named, but all have their original insignia and the badges match exactly the wear patterns on the tunics. The one on the right still had the screwback EK1 on it (and has what I believe to be some blood stains on the front). The one on the left still had the Romanian ribbon on it (the retaining hook was bent so it couldn't come off). The loops where the DK's are were "heavy style" loops, so I don't think they were meant for SK's.

I associate myself in that demand : if you have more pics I would be happy to see them ; the tunic at the right has the collar tabs inverted, like some period photographs ; very interesting, it is the first surviving example I see. It seems done to follow the shape of the collar...

[Leroy]

I will be glad to take more photos as soon as I have a chance (may be a day or so). The tunic on the right has an interesting stamp in it which I hope will show in photos.

In between putting up the Christmas tree and digging out boxes of ornaments, I'm trying to take some photos. Here's the first set, of the specially tailored uniform on the right in my earlier photo. The brownish stains are, I believe, blood.

Kuban attached directly to sleeve, with backing plate on inside of sleeve, under the lining.

"Cogged wheel" stamp on inside of right front of the tunic. No idea what it says or means. Tunic is made of a sharkskin type fabric and is very smooth.

Next one (the one on the left in my original photo).
