The tunic is named, and researched to a former member of the Legion Condor.

Every year when it get's cold enough for me to dig out my winter coat, I'll find various receits and tickets from last winter in the pockets. If you don't empty your pockets very often, stuff like that will accumulate. I think it's quite natural to find these things in old clothing. I've even found ladies underwear on one occasion. In a luft tunic that is...not in my winter coat.

Very nice to have a name and a picture with the visor .. !
As for the tickets etc, yes, found tickets, coins etc in pockets, one flight blouse even had a production line ticket in the pocket which shows the autographs of the people who worked on the jacket, most of these jackets where not made by only one person ..

Tickets
Nice caps, especially because of the name and picture.
I agree about the tickets, especially if the soldier had more than one tunic. A lot of the tunics in our collections were the extra ones that survived because they were hanging in a closet, so tickets left in the pockets would be even more common.

Always nice to see a Leparo visor. They were prolific makers of EM/NCO Luft visors. I have seen many but not one Officers grade so far. Another TR manufacturing mystery.
I've also owned a few visors with theatre tickets inside. Must have been quite the fashion and the thing to do to impress the ladies!
