Luftwaffe tropical shirt long sleeve - your opinion PLS.

[nuklik]

Shirt has metal buttons painted dark brown. Stamped with a four letters inside of pocket. Material is cotton - linen with two pocket flaps lined with wool.
My first though was DAK Luftwaffe shirt.
Your opinion please.

Nasty!
Run as far away from that one as possible, mate...
It’s probably just an old civilian work shirt, badly dressed up with fake insignia.

Luftwaffe tropical shirts are very different indeed; much smoother fabric and high quality construction all round. I shall add pictures of my own, when I get the chance, for your reference.

Keep hunting and all the very best,
Bob

As promised:
Note how fine the fabric is, a robust cotton canvas.
The long tails allowed it to be worn as a nightshirt. Originally, the lower half of the front placket was sewn shut, producing a pull-over garment, but (as here), this was frequently unpicked for convenience.
Also note the correct triangular Adler insignia.

I hope these (somewhat hurried) images are of help.
Cheers,
Bob

Thanks Bob - I already posted this shirt on wehrmacht awards, with a zero results. True, fabric is really "robust". Backing of pocket flaps with wool doesn´t make sense.
