Two curiosities just arrived: flight suit and SWp734

[Tevion]

Hello!

Today I got this two items from a auction.
The flight suit was a surprice at the bill... I didn't count with it as I thought I didn't win the auction.

First one is the K So/34 flight suit in chocolate brown heavy cloth in very good condition.
I never saw such a piece before.
This one don't look private made to me. Very professional and the cut is like the standard salt/pepper versions.

Interesting is the pocket underneath the leather piece for the oxygen mask and the broken glass of sun glasses in a leg pocket.

Best regards,
Lukas

2nd item is a early war life vest SWp734 with black straps.
I only saw one like this owned by a other collector and a few times on period pictures.

Unfortunately the metal mouth piece was replaced and a strap was cut.

One more speciality I just found after I took a better look on the life vest.
It is stamped with a Kriegsmarine stamp on the back!

In the evening I will take some pictures on the mannequin.
