Luftwaffe Ingenieurkorps General's Breeches

[bradcancian]

Hello all,

I have an opportunity to purchase this set of breeches for what appears to be a Luftwaffe Ingenieurkorps (Corps of Engineers) general. Generals of this corps were permitted to wear the pink waffenfarbe of this branch on their breeches. My experience with Luftwaffe general's breeches is limited, and whilst my initial feel on these is that they are good, I'd like some views by those more experienced on originality. My concerns at the moment are around some of the rough cuts of material internally, and the use of white buttons - the breeches that I have seen don't usually have white buttons, but their use seems to be restricted to the suspender attachments.

The current owner has kindly supplied me with plenty of pictures:

















I welcome any thoughts folks have on these.

Thanks,

Brad C

Anyone...?

They look OK to me, but they could be for General Staff too IMO. These reddish colors are hard to judge from photos.

Thanks Jesper! Anyone have any other thoughts?
