Fliegerbluse

[Wally6]

Decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather today and finally provide a "complete" photoshoot of my Fallschirmjäger Fliegerbluse. Picked this up at this years SOS and is already one of my favorite items. Let me know what you guys think!

Looks nice. I think I saw it at the SOS.

I'd like to see the eagle and collar tabs machine sewn, but I do have one in my collection with a hand-sewn eagle and no trace in the lining of a machine sewn predecessor. I also have another with hand sewn tabs but that was due to him being promoted and moving them to make room for NCO tresse.

For the belt hooks, they should be mounted through the tabs and then just the end of the hook through the holes in the tunic.

Any markings/stamps in the lining?

Thanks Todd, there are some very faint markings inside the liner, barley visible to the naked eye, but more easily visible with a black light. Funny enough I was looking at some items at the Ruptured Duck table just after I bought it when Patrick Shea asked what I had and if he could take a look at it, and he said the same thing about the belt hooks, but that was his only "issue" with it.
