Luftwaffe Greatcoat

[reneblacky]

G'day All,

I just obtained this one yesterday, the shoulder boards have been added for sure.
My question is, is the insignia correctly applied?

Just discovered this tag in the pocket, any info on it and on the liner stamps?

Thanks in advance

I'm not all clear on Luftwaffe markings, is this below correct and is 1935 the date of this greatcoat?
LBA 35, LBA being Luftwaffe Bekleidungsamt (Air Force clothing depot) and 35 is 1935.

Thanks All.

Correct

Correct

...nice early date

A year before and it would have been suspect....
as the Luftwaffe was created in 1935
Nice one Rene...it was a greatcoat most probably meant for the walking out dress.
Thanks

G'day All

for the coat I did trade this Czech reissue M42 (near mint liner!) , a US pistol pouch and first aid pouch, was it a silly trade?
