A lovely original early Luftwaffe four pocket tunic with the rank of Feldwebel of flying troops.

The tunic has the correct Luftwaffe pattern NCO braid to the collar and shoulder straps. The shoulder straps

are piped in yellow gold wool with a single rank pip and the collar has yellow gold twisted cord trim.

The breast eagle is a superb early droop tail example in hand embroidered cord.

The collar tabs are yellow wool with three "gulls" on each, There are signs of movement of these gulls almost certainly due to them being moved when the NCO was promoted. The bar of braid across the base of the
shoulder strap sewn with different thread indicates the strap has also been upgraded so this tunic would have been worn by the individual as a junior nco and upgraded when he was promoted from Unteroffizier to Feldwebel.

The left sleeve bears a superb hand emboidered heavy cord example of the Jagdgeschwader Schlageter (JG26) cufftitle, a style often seen on private purchase NCO cufftitles. JG26 fought predominantly on the Western Front and flew mainly the Bf109.

 

Above the left breast pocket are loops for the wear of a ribbon bar of Flight Clasp and further award loops

on the left breast pocket.

An excellent example, obviously worn by a combat veteran.
