Luftwaffe über wachtmantel

[casper sporck]

Hello all,
this is my latest project ,......
I bought this greatcoat at LaGleize ,this year.
I was searching for this type of coat, this was the only one i saw that day.

Its a über wachtmantel of a flakregiment.
Inside the pocket was a stamp :
1./Fla.rgt.61 2. Battl
Another stamp i found was from a maker , but isn't readable anymore.

On the collar there were collartabs, the are removed.
On one side there is still some red vibers.
It has mothing on the coat and some wear damages.

But overall it still is a very nice coat,.....

Now i'm on the search for a nice buckle , ammunition pouches , winterboots and a nice bajonet.
When its complete i will upload the pictures,....

With kind regards ,
Casper

Your mannequin looks like he's up to no good near an elementary school playground. Get him some pants, quick!

I agree with Ian, but your impression looks really good otherwise. My Stalingrad sentry mannequin looked the same way except he had boots on. I finally just bought a pair of reenactor pants since only the bottom few inches would be seen anyway.
