I recently purchased this leather Luftwaffe Pilots Jacket. I believe it to be real. Opinions?
do you have any pics of tags in jacket?
Hey there,
I dont know much about German militaria,But I dont like the zipper.I just cant imagine it having the word ZIPP on it.
Regards
Emil
No tags anywhere green cuffs inside the jacket sleeves. The lining used to be red but is faded. Supposedly the owner also had a German cigarette case that was in one of the pockets when he received it he sold that at a seperate auction. It had a German bomber medal glued to the case.
"The 2 breast zippers and the 2 side pocket zippers are unmarked - they was original on this
jacket - the front zipper is from the famous german brand zipp and was exchanged during or after the WW2"
Found some information that Zipp was a german brand zipper manufacturer during the war. This is from an ebay auction for a leather jacket. The common style worn.
My research shows there was not just one type of jacket that was issued. The pilots jackets had to be either brown or black.
I am starting to believe that this item is fake. I could not see the pictures.
Here is a ww2 pic if it is of any help.?

I would say this is a post war jacket. Pilots jackets usually had breast eagles and shoulder straps applied.
Cheers, Ade.
