Unissued Luftwaffe EM Flieger Blouse quesiton

[brannow]

Hi All,

I have a question about pricing. I would like to get an idea what and unissued Luftwaffe EM Flieger Blouse would go for. It has no shoulder boards only the machine sewn breast eagle.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Bill,
I am guessing you are talking about a second pattern, with lower slash pockets, and no piping around the collar?
I would say $300 to $500 max.
Thanks,

Yes no piping and I think the lower button down pockets.

Thanks for the reply,

No collar tabs also?

Adam, I'm curious as well. Depending on the date of manufacture, FBs were issued and worn without collar tabs starting 1944 (some in 43 as well). There are many photos of airmen wearing rank gulls pinned directly through the collars.

No collar tabs also?

I will ask them but the lady bought it at a thrift shop. If not my 8 year old will have a cool Halloween costume next year.
