Designated as Fl30154-2, this is my fantastic Luftwaffe Schwimmweste.
All straps and ring fittings are complete on this late war example.
The inflation tube is of the plastic type, and the CO2 (Fl30153-1) bottle is still in great shape.
The stamped label is nice and clear and there is another stamp underneath the inflation tube loop. (22 or some thing.)
The rubberized canvas is still in a lovely condition.
Also on the Schwimmweste are the Luftwaffe survival whistle and Compass.
This inflatable Schwimmweste was much sought after by the RAF Pilots, including Guy Gibson.
I've always wanted one since I was a kid, and when I want some thing..
It's my pride and joy..
